Local Area Network is a computer network to which a large number of computers and other peripheral devices are connected within a geographical area. VLAN is an implementation of a private subset of a LAN in which the computers interact with each other as if they are connected to the same broadcast domain irrespective of their physical locations.It Delivers Better performance,less Network administeation work, eleminating the need of expansive Routers, more Security Then LAN.
1. VLAN delivers better performance when compared to traditional LANs.
2. VLAN requires less network administration work when compared to LANs.
3. VLAN helps to reduce costs by eliminating the need for expensive routers unlike LANs.
4. Data transmission on VLAN is safe when compared to traditional LANs.
Lan means "Local Area Network" and Vlan stands for "Virtual LAN".

LAN local area network consists within a building connected with network devices like switches, routers etc. and VLAN VIRTUAL LOCAL AREA network is a concept of virualy logical domain's connectivity and communication. VLAN's are created in a SWITCH to seperated the goups and join the same domain like, sale department , purchase department etc etc to communicate each other. For example there is VLAN Named sale department , in this case any computer we join to sale department can only communicate each other within sale department vlan. secure , fast and reduced the burdon of more switches purchasing.
In a LAN Environment VLANs are used to separate Broadcast domains logically. VLAN delivers better performance, requires less network administration and helps to reduce Broadcast traffic.
Lan means "Local Area Network" and Vlan stands for "Virtual LAN". There are no real differences between one and the other except that a vlan is used to create multiple broadcast domains in a switch. Say for example you have one 48 port layer 2 switch.
LAN and VLAN are two terms used frequently in the networking field. “LAN” is abbreviated as “Local Area Network” is a computer network to which a large number of computers and other peripheral devices are connected within a geographical area. VLAN is an implementation of a private subset of a LAN in which the computers interact with each other as if they are connected to the same
broadcast domain irrespective of their physical locations.
The VLAN is used to create multiple broadcast domains in a switch.
