This discussion aims to help you understand how network segmentation and VLANs improve network performance, security, and management. It will also provide an opportunity to apply these concepts to real$-$world scenarios.

Reflect on the concepts of network segmentation and VLANs discussed in Module $8.$ Address the following prompts in your response:

Explain one key benefit of using VLANs in network design. How does it enhance network security or performance?

Share a scenario where subnetting or VLANs could improve network management $($e$.$g$.,$ separating traffic in a school or company$).$ What would be the advantages of this approach?

Based on the scenario you described, what challenges might you encounter when implementing VLANs or subnets?

Criteria for Success:$$

Provide detailed explanations that demonstrate an understanding of VLANs and subnetting.

Include at least one practical example or scenario where VLANs or network segmentation would be beneficial.

Engage with at least two peers by offering feedback or suggestions on their scenarios, or discussing potential challenges they might face.
