What is the range for normal VLANs?

  1. 1 - 500

  2. 1 - 4094

  3. 1 - 1005

  4. 1 - 1024

The correct answer is: 1 - 1005

The range for normal VLANs is from 1 to 4094. This encompasses both normal and extended VLANs, with 1 to 1005 being designated for normal VLANs. In this context, VLANs 1 through 1005 are used in standard configurations, where VLANs 1 and 1005 are managed VLANs. The VLANs within this range are primarily utilized for community segmentation within a switched network, facilitating better traffic management and security. For VLANs above 1005, specifically from 1006 to 4094, these are referred to as extended VLANs. While they exist within the range, they are typically not included in the normal VLAN classification. Proper understanding of this division and how VLANs are categorized helps in network design and implementation, ensuring correct segmentation and traffic handling across different network segments.
