Native VLAN Definition: Native VLAN is the default VLAN on a switch where untagged traffic is sent; it is commonly used for management and control purposes.
The Native VLAN is a default virtual LAN (VLAN) on a network that carries untagged traffic. It is commonly set up on a switch to allow communication between devices that are not VLAN-aware or do not have VLAN tags. Frames transmitted on the Native VLAN do not have VLAN tags and are forwarded on the network without VLAN identification. It is important to secure the Native VLAN to prevent unauthorized access and potential security risks.
