   If your network hardware handles VLAN tags.   
      
   I have numerous switches (unmanaged) and WiFi access points, none of the   
   ones I tested were compatible with VLAN tags (i.e. The network device   
   stripped the VLAN tag off packets rather than dumbly passed the packet   
   through with VLAN tag intact).   
      
   VLANs also aren't ideal as you may wish to implement policy routing on a   
   protocol (e.g. VoIP) or WAN destination, not just upon a LAN host.
