Monitoring Virtual Local Area Networks with Huawei

To integrate Virtual Local Area Networks and Huawei with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Virtual Local Area Networks and Huawei and how that can support your monitoring system.

A virtual local area network (VLAN) logically segments a LAN into different broadcast domains. A broadcast domain is divided and secluded in a computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). This allows for network administrators to group hosts together. This is possible even if the hosts are not directly connected to the same network switch and are even in different locations. 

If devices must be kept separated but need to share the cabling of a physical network, VLANs are used. This prevents these devices directly interacting and colliding with one another. An example of VLANs being used is by Internet hosting services. To separate customers' private zones from one other these internet hosting services use VLANs. This allows for each customer's servers to be in a single network segment, not being reliant on where the individual servers are located within the data center.
