Team,

 

Within the (v)lan settings, there is an advanced section with the option called "Isolate Network".

What is exactly is the effect when this is enabled?

 

 

With warm regards - Will

In omada, by default all vlans can openly communicate with each other

 

This setting flips that and prevents the selected network from talking to anything outside its IP scope

 

It can be overridden by gateway ACLs to create stateful granular rules

  @GRL - ok - great.

 

But it seems only available when an Omada router is "hosting" a given vlan/subnet?

Meaning if it is "hosted" by an external device - for example pihole - it doesn't show?

  @GRL - which probably means that the isolation only works for packets passing the Omada gateway?

Meaning that if a L3 switch is involved with IP-interfaces in all vlans this feature has no effect?

 

I'm trying to find a way to isolate 2 vlans from the rest.

Correct.  I switch route all my vlans and it has no effect unless the gateway itself routes the packet.
