Problems with Isolating a VLAN
I’m trying to isolate a laptop with the scenario that there may be a possible malware or infection. Currently my major problem is that we’re not getting our expected results. Our goal is that we have 3 PC’s that we want to restrict traffic so that one of those pcs can communicate to and from the other pc.

Nothing you can reach using a basic VLAN configuration.
Currently my major problem is that we’re not getting our expected results.
What switch model (and firmware version) do you have in mind, or trying?
We are using the M4250 Series and I'm trying to test and see if we can restrict one pc from reaching the printer on a separate VLAN but allowing the other test pc to be able to get to that printer, and we want to accomplish these results with IP or MAC ACL's
That's a Managed Switch. Have moved this thread to the more appropriate community section.
He smarter approach (instead of fiddling with ACLs only) would be configuring some Private VLAN -> What are private VLANs and how do they work with my managed switch?

Not sure you got the concept behind Private VLANs right:

In a way that did help but there's still the problem of whenever i put the port in inbound everything crashes so I think it could be because of the vlan but I did read the article you sent (thank you btw) and searched up how to correctly create a private vlan and added it in but every ping I do is requested timeout and the connection completely goes away as well (I use an ethernet)
