Abstract
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a logical connection, as opposed to a physical one, that enables grouping hosts into a single broadcast domain so that packets are only sent to ports that are joined to the same VLAN. We can increase wireless network efficiency and conserve bandwidth by using a typical VLAN network. Additionally, by reducing the number of hosts that get copies of frames broadcast by switches, VLAN implementation dramatically enhances wireless network security because hosts containing crucial data are kept on a different VLAN. In this paper, a wireless network without VLAN deployment is contrasted with a wireless network. The proposed network is assessed using file transfer in high traffic and web browsing applications for average throughput and latency. The simulation was run using the OPNET 14.5 modeller simulation, and the findings indicate that using VLAN across a wireless network increased performance by reducing traffic and minimising delay time. Additionally, because traffic received and routed has a positive relationship with throughput, adopting VLAN decreases network throughput. Additionally, we looked into employing adhoc routing technologies to increase throughput in a wireless VLAN network. To demonstrate the impact of the proposed VLAN on performance outcomes like throughput and delay, evaluation and comparison of broad adhoc routing protocols such AODV, DSR, OLSR, TORA, and GPR are undertaken.
