Separate VLAN for infrastructure ( or is it wise? )

SophosNoobian

Hello there,

   I consider a network consisted of two VLANs ( one is solely wireless and other is mixed ) . I also want to prevent these VLANs from accessing network infrastructure ( switch, AP, NAS etc ) but not sure how to handle it. Should I treat them as untagged or is it wise or possible to assign separate VLAN to infrastructure ones ( and how to do in case )

    Hello SophosNoobian,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    You can use a Firewall rule with the subnets of the Networks to block access from the Wireless network and the other VLAN to the Infrastructure network.

    Regards,

     i would use VLAN with tagging to split Network-Segments.

    VLAN without tagging means you connect one cable for every VLAN to the firewall.

    Every segment has its own IP-Subnet, is routed over firewall and controlled by firewall.

    If you use VLAN Tagging, you have to configure this at the Switches too.
