Hi,
 
 I like to understand the concept and purpose of VLAN in VMware environment. When we have a network with internet network IP (192.168.1.x, 10.0.0.x ... etc), every device communicates with each other using its own IP address.
 Each VM that we create in VMware will receive an IP adress from DHCP server running on, typically, Domain Controller.
 Having said that, what is the purpose or benefit of VLAN?

VLAN on VMware

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
