Hi Carl Thanks for giving me time to explain to you the concept of Virtual Local Area Networks – also known as VLANs. Let me explain it like this: think about all information travelling along a motorway (highway) and we need to classify the information or traffic lanes – so financial information gets allocated their own traffic lane on the highway, HR would get their own traffic lane, and staff would get their own traffic lane as well. Sometimes staff would need access to some information in the HR Lane – we allow this at a junction (Security Appliance) which allows traffic to shared between each dedicated lane. We can also prioritise each traffic lane which allows business departments to be prioritized – example: finance traffic lane priority high if this is an EFTPOS transaction for purchasing goods vs staff member watching a cat video on Youtube. In order for us to configure your highway correctly – it would be good for us to work together so we can identify how many dedicated lanes you need and which business units work together so we can sure the information sharing is setup correctly. Look forward to working with you to design the highway of information which suits your business. Thanks... Gerardus ... View more
