📈 Network access evolution in 4 stages:
Stage 1: Physical security (locked server rooms)
Stage 2: Static VLANs (manual port assignments)
Stage 3: Dynamic VLANs (policy-based automation)
Stage 4: Zero Trust (continuous verification)
We're in Stage 3 now. Dynamic VLAN = policies follow users, not ports.
Key insight: Network identity tied to authentication, not physical location.
