Client Isolation Feature
This switch can optionally isolate Ports 2-8 from each other, with Port 1 considered as the Uplink port.
The switch on the front panel has 2 positions:
- NOM (=Normal)
- Every port can communicate with all other ports.
- Normal LAN switch behaviour
- VLAN
- Port 1 = Uplink port. Typically connected via a router to the Internet.
- Ports 2-8 = 'Client' ports. These ports have
- full connectivity to Port 1 (=Internet).
- no connectivity with the other 'Client' ports.
Client Isolation Application (example)
Consider this example where there is a MAIN building (with Internet connection), and a REMOTE building that is rented out (e.g. AirBnB).
See image.
- PCs in both the MAIN and REMOTE buildings need to see the Internet.
- PCs in the MAIN building should be isolated from the REMOTE building.
- PCs in the REMOTE building should be isolated from the MAIN building.
- WI-SG108 Front Switch = VLAN position
- WI-SG108 Location = Near Internet router
- Connections:
- Port 1: Connect to Internet Router
- Port 2: Connect to REMOTE building.
- Port 3: Connect (possibly via another LAN switch) to MAIN building PCs/WiFi/etc.
