What is VLAN in VMware?

A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers connected via physical networking hardware, typically a switch. A virtual local area network (VLAN) divides a LAN into isolated segments, reducing network broadcast congestion. A VLAN can also span multiple networks, linking networked computers across physical locations (different switches).
