How to configure VLan in Cisco Networking Devices

VLan is virtual local area network. It is mostly used to manage the hosts in the network. The example of how to configure VLan in Cisco Networking Devices is shown in the below with the picture together. I hope this example will be benefit for brothers and sisters who are learning Cisco Networking.
