Vlan isolation setup
Hello,
I've been using unmanaged switches from tp link for a long time and they have been great so far but the time has come to go to a managed solution. Unfortunately there aren't any good videos on youtube explaining how to setup vlans and dedicate ports and devices to them. So I really need the forums help. I just ordered my switch and expect it to arrive in a couple of days. Till then I need to get ready for the setup.
note: My design skills on the paper aren't great. Please don't mind the visual "blueprints" I am posting. It's just to make things easier to understand.
Let me tell you what I have at the moment.
ROOM 1:
ISP MODEM 192.168.1.1
AN UNMANAGED SWITCH
DECO 1 @192.168.68.1
NAS BACKUP 192.168.68.4
ROOM 2:
AN UNMANAGED SWITCH AND ON IT
NAS (MAIN) 192.168.68.3
PC 192.168.1.254
NVR 192.168.68.100
ROOM 3:
DECO 2 @192.168.68.something
ALARM HUB @192.168.68.101
The goal is to...
Isolate my PC and my NASes at VLAN 1
Isolate my NVR at VLAN 2 (for security reasons)
Isolate my Deco’s at VLAN 3 for IoT smart devices and mobiles (security reasons)
Isolate my Alarm HUB at VLAN 4 for the same security reasons
The big questions are:
Q1. Is it possible that I can see and manage devices at VLAN 2,3,4 without 2,3,4 devices being able to access VLAN 1?
Q2. Is it possible for PC and NAS 1 to be connected at a unmanaged hub and still work? (I can’t deploy another line! I am too old for that. Lol)
Q3. How can I do all this? I don’t really understand the menus.
Thank you.
