True, but assigning it a static IP and blocking egress traffic originating from it should accomplish the same thing.

- dvdkhlng 7y agoI think static IPs and blocking egress traffic only keeps well-behaved devices from doing any harm. It does not protect you from compromised, malicous (IoT) devices. Think about a network printer doing ARP spoofing and MiTM-attacking your VoIP phone or IP cam. E.g. googeling immediately turns up vulnerabilities like this [1] one. A properly configured VLAN setup can help to prevent or limit this threat.
