IoT / guest VLAN segmentation
Segment untrusted smart devices onto isolated SSIDs/VLANs.
Authorized testing only. Practice on systems you own, isolated labs, or targets with written permission. Unauthorized access is illegal.
When
You have cameras, TVs, bulbs that should not touch laptops/NAS.
How
Create IoT VLAN/SSID; block lateral access to LAN; allow internet as needed.
Why
Compromised lightbulbs should not reach your tax documents.
Commands & usage
# Example policy goals:
# IoT -> Internet: allow
# IoT -> Trusted LAN: deny
# Trusted -> IoT: allow selectively (admin only)
Commands are educational examples. Adapt hosts, paths, and rates to your authorized scope.
