For better security of working from home, I need to separate network traffics into different groups so that:
- These groups all have access to the Internet, e.g. for work, for home entertainment, etc.; but
- they cannot reach each other
- Moreover, I need cable connections on all the groups for better transmission speed, so the guest WIFI doesn't satisfy the need.
I heard MTU VLAN (Multi-Tenant Unit VLAN) uses a shared uplink port connected to the Internet. And the other ports can send and receive data on the uplink port, but not between each other.
I have a layer-2 smart switch, but I didn't find direct support of MTU VLAN.
My Questions:
- I wonder if there is a way to set up traffic segmentation with Internet access? E.g. by using the security features of traffic segmentation, etc.?
- Please remind me if I missed something about this hardware; for example, not sure if there is an equivalent feature to MTU VLAN.
- Or, after all, is it feasible to use traffic segmentation in home networking? I do see a lot of discussions about this demand, though.
I am unfamiliar with networking, and don't understand many of the terminologies listed in the text block below. So I highly appreciate any suggestions, links, videos, tutorials, etc.
