GS180PEv3 management VLAN reachable via guest VLAN
I originally posted this on the Ubiquiti forums, but have determined that my Netgear GS108PEv3 appears to be the issue. Details of my network and problem are below:
I have setup a Ubiquiti Edg...
No, this is a limitation of the platforms used for most Smart Managed Plus switches (GSxxxE) - the CPU port can't be restricted to a certain VLAN only. Bet you have no such control for a management VLAN on the UI (only few Smart Managed Plus have, like the XS724EM). And just based on the IP address the switch won't "magically" add a VLAN config or ACL - the management IP is active on all VLANs on these models aimed to be very lightly managed, that's all.
Wonder why you posed on the other vendor forum - it's clearly a (well known, many times) discussed and explained limitations of these very simple managed switch family.

Thank you so much for the help. This was actually the first time I setup my router from scratch, so I posted on the Ubiquiti forum initially thinking my firewall rules were the problem. This was also the first time I've setup VLANs, so I wasn't sure where to look for help. Once I realized my switch was the issue, I came here. Thanks again. BTW, do you have a recommended switch for my needs? A POE switch with 8-16 ports, preferably rack mountable?
