Between this latest VLAN article, an earlier VLAN article published on SearchVMware.com, a VLAN article published here on my site, and the latest discussion of the use of the native VLAN, I’m trying to make sure everyone has the information they need to understand and use VLANs in their VI3 implementation. If there are other networking-related articles you’d like to see, please shoot me an e-mail and let me know, or post your ideas/suggestions in the comments below. Thanks!
