Explanation

VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are configured directly on managed switches. A switch segments network traffic and enforces VLAN membership by assigning ports to specific VLANs. To allow inter-VLAN communication between sales and marketing, the technician would configure VLAN settings (and likely inter-VLAN routing) on the switch. A network card (A) is a client-side component, a patch panel (B) is a passive cabling device with no intelligence, a server (D) doesn't manage VLANs, and a hub (E) is a dumb Layer 1 device that has no VLAN awareness whatsoever.
