Pros

1. reduce broadcast storm

   The key advantage of VLAN is that it can isolate the conflict domain as well as broadcast domain. If there are hundreds of hosts in a LAN, the
   network would be completely paralyzed when a broadcast storm happened. Meanwhile, users can divide the broadcast domain through VLAN, limiting the
   broadcast to each VLAN, and can not be transferred to cross VLAN. Most important, as consideration to improved security, the broadcasts of
   different VLANS can not communicate without a layer 3 router.

2. simplify the administration of the network

   One of the best things about VLAN is that it simplifies management. By logically grouping users into the same virtual networks, you make it easy
   to set up and control your policies at a group level. When users physically move workstations, you can keep them on the same network with different
   equipment. Or if someone changes teams but not workstations, they can easily be given access to whatever new VLANs they need.
