A company may have numerous operations or departments functioning in identical physical buildings. With a simple LAN, all network traffic would travel diagonally throughout the whole network. To wall off operations, administrators can form diverse VLANs for two unalike departments that are not hypothetically to interconnect with each other. One example is finance, where unlike arms of a financial organization are proposed to be autonomous of one another for the resolutions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other guidelines or standards.
