Building a Secure Network with VLANs
Use VLANs to separate trusted devices, guests, servers, and IoT hardware without adding unnecessary complexity.

Create a small number of clear network zones: trusted clients, servers, guest devices, and IoT equipment. Apply firewall rules that allow only the traffic each zone genuinely needs.\n\nGive network equipment meaningful names, document IP ranges, and test access from every zone. Segmentation limits the impact of a compromised device and makes troubleshooting much easier.
