Which method is not used for VLAN categorization?
VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are used to logically segment a network into smaller broadcast domains. VLANs can be categorized using various methods:
Port-Based VLANs :
VLAN membership is determined by the switch port to which a device is connected.
Example: Ports 1--10 belong to VLAN 10, and ports 11--20 belong to VLAN 20.
Protocol-Based VLANs :
VLAN membership is determined by the protocol type (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, or AppleTalk) in the packet header.
MAC Address-Based VLANs :
VLAN membership is determined by the MAC address of the device.
Example: Devices with specific MAC addresses are assigned to VLAN 10.
Physical Location-Based VLANs :
VLANs are not categorized based on physical locations. While VLANs can be used to group devices in different physical locations, this is not a standard method of VLAN categorization.
Thus, the correct answer is C , as VLANs are not categorized based on physical locations.
