Explanation

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a network administrator to logically segment a physical network into separate broadcast domains. Each department can be assigned its own VLAN, ensuring that traffic from one department is isolated from others without requiring separate physical hardware. VLANs are configured on managed switches and are the standard solution for departmental network segregation. A VPN provides encrypted remote-access tunnels; VNC is a remote desktop protocol; VMs virtualize operating systems - none of these accomplish network-level departmental separation the way VLANs do.
