1.2.5. VLANs

A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a virtual broadcast domain. It allows virtual network segmentation using different network IP address.

Network segmentation is one of the capacities of openNAC technology, so according to VLAN configurations, several VLANs would be managed by openNAC into the network. By default the VLANs are:

• Service

• Registry

• Quarantine

Also some network segments can be excluded from openNAC administration, so clients can define an unmanaged network segment.
