Do you really mean what you say or do you have terminology mixed up? VLAN is the technique to tag packets with a VLAN ID. Systems will only see traffic that matches their own VLAN ID, so it allows you to create virtual networks on a single physical network. The z/VM VSWITCH allows you to have the trunk connection (that carries traffic from multiple VLANs) into z/VM and have CP do some of the work that others do in their outboard switch. The VSWITCH really is a Guest LAN with an extra. The virtual NIC coupled to the VWITCH looks very much like one coupled to the Guest LAN.
