Block clients on same VLAN from seeing eachother?
-
With a Layer 2 Switch and a Netgate appliance with VLANs set up, is it possible on the SAME VLAN to configure it so that devices on that VLAN cannot see eachother on the same VLAN? These clients would be on the same Layer 2 switch.

@prtonguy77 this has nothing to do with pfsense. But depending on the features of your switch then sure you could setup say private vlan.

@prtonguy77 Its a function of the switch or access-point not the router.
On my Linksys switch you can set up a LAN port as a Protected Port and it can only connect via the default gateway.

As @NogBadTheBad mentions - different switches might have different ways of setting it up.. Or they may not support it at all? What specific switch do you have?
My cisco sg300 for example
The way to skin this specific cat if you will if your switch does not support such a feature would/could be to just setup multiple vlans and put the devices you don't want talking to each other in different vlans..
If you only have a hand full of devices this is manageable, now if you have 100s - then its a bit more difficult, and prob be easier to just get a switch that supports the feature.

Hi everyone, thank you for the replies. It's a EnGenius EWS7928P, I looked and it does have port isolation which is good to know... thank you.

@prtonguy77 I have the Netgear GS324TP, it doesn't appear to have Port isolation unless it is called something else here. Any ideas?

Any ideas?
get a switch that does, or create vlans to isolate the devices you don't want talking to each other.
