Private VLAN
Private VLAN is like having a secret club where only a few people can enter. Imagine you are in a park with many different playgrounds, and everyone can play together. But sometimes you want to play with just a few of your friends in a special playground that no one else can join. That's like a private VLAN.
In computer networks, VLANs are like different playgrounds, and they separate traffic between devices in a network. Private VLANs are like a secret playground, where only certain devices can communicate with each other, and no one else in the regular playground can see or talk to them.
For example, if you work in a big office building with many departments, each department might have its own VLAN, so the computers in finance, marketing, or HR, can't see or talk to each other. But within the finance department, you might have sensitive data that only the managers should access, while the others are just regular users. In that case, you can set up a private VLAN, where the managers' computers are in one sub-group, and the others are in another sub-group, and they can't reach each other.
It's like having a secret club for certain members in a larger group, and no one else knows they are there. It helps to improve security and privacy in a network, especially for sensitive data or applications.
