LANs are segmented for the following reasons:
- Keeps traffic isolated on certain segments - that way a busy LAN segment cannot overload the entire LAN.
- Security - some packets are contained in the LAN segment and the rest of the network does not see the packet at all
- Legacy protocols - some older protocols may be in use in a certain part of the network but there is no reason for the entire network to see the packets they cannot understand
- Better troubleshooting - it is easier to identify where the problem is if the network is segmented
- Allows for better scalability if you need to add clients to a part of the network
