Passes inter-switch traffic which provides a layer of security. Which VLAN is described?

• A. VLAN
• B. Management VLAN
• C. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint Software
• D. Network Flow (NetFlow)

Answer: (B)

Focusing on separating management traffic from user data helps protect the devices that control the network. A Management VLAN is specifically used to carry inter-switch and other switch-management traffic, keeping the control plane isolated from end-user traffic. This isolation provides an extra layer of security by limiting who can reach switch management interfaces and by reducing exposure of management protocols to potentially compromised devices on the data network.

The other options don’t fit: a general VLAN is just a segmentation concept without identifying which traffic is dedicated to management; DLP Endpoint Software is about protecting data on endpoints, not about VLANs; NetFlow is a monitoring tool for traffic flows, not a VLAN type.
