Re: Different terms for the same or more secure?

Hey hylton,
           The main advantage of having a VLAN is that they provide physical 
independence while defining a logical entity. Say one of your account person 
sits on first floor & in accounts vlan can be in the same subnet with the other 
account person who sits at 10th floor.
           However VLAN as a term, generally is considered to define a single 
subnet but you can also define two or more subnets in a single VLAN.

In simplest words u can c a vlan as advanced stage of a subnet with many 
advanced options and facilities.
         As per the security is concern, i cant see one more secure than 
another. both are eqally secure (or unsecure) however a vlan is much more 
flexible than a subnet.
