That's only true if use of VLAN tags is controlled by hosts; if you use a smart switch to assign VLANs to ports it's pretty much as-if you have multiple, physically separated networks.
- addingnumbers 5y agoSegmenting your broadcast domains doesn't help much if traffic is routed freely between them.
- spookthesunset 5y agoAll nice, but now you need managed switches and stuff plus some amount of unbillable time to configure it all and fix it when it breaks. Might be worth it if your bill rate accommodates it though.
- neverartful 5y agoSounds like a great approach. Any recommendations for such a switch for WFH?
- ArchOversight 5y agoYou'd still need the router to tag/untag those VLAN's and allow traffic to flow. So if the router does VLAN tagging but just routes between the different network segments you haven't fixed anything. You'd also need a firewall, and to configure it correctly.
