Folks,

 

On my vlan settings there is an option to choose whether or not to isolate.

 

What would be the point of NOT isolating?  I could understand if this was an editable option, temporary disable useful for network checking but seems once chosen then no option to disable.

@Geffers 

Hi, did you mean the group isolation on the following page:

Yes, I did mean the group isolation.

 

For practice I've created a group both with and without isolation.  Without isolation I seem to be able to access either subnet, no issue but wonder why create a second subnet if effectively they are all accessible to each other.
