why would one need to configure vlan(s) in a firewall ? eg one can
configure vlans on checkpoint firewall. but what is the whole point of
setting vlans.

the individual interface (each with its own IP address) is a network
and like vlan itself. the firewall routes traffic between these
interfaces (networks). traffic from one interface cannot go to
another interface unless configured or allowed by the rules in the
firewall.
so why would one need to configure vlans on the interfaces ?
