A point in right direction to educate myself on UnManaged switch
I'm new to the switch thing and I bought a GS108V4 to add more lan lines and to run another wireless access point. I'm hung up on not wanting to run a straight line and want to make 3-4 separate group...
Neither your router (wild guess) nor the switch does support a correct isolation of such two networks. Just different IP subnets don't bring any network segregation. Where do you intend to run any kind of routing? It's not so simple as the school theory implies.
That is true but with the subnet you can break off multiple networks with a completely different IP address so if IP #1 starts with 192.168.1.1 than you can use 10.70.14.4 as your second the iso allows 255 IP 4 numbers are used for router 1,4, I think 11 and 254. So manually assigning net 1 with a end isp with say 60 with the DHCP than it would cut off at 60 the rest you can use for a different net. I watched 2 videos on it. And was told on LinkedIn it can be done if you branch off in-between modem and routers
