Complete IOT security and access solution Orbi 6 Pro

Skipping all the tech talk, I just want to know how to configure the system to achieve this using default Netgear VLANS

10: Admin

20: Employee

30: IOT

40: Guest

 

1) Employee network can reach all devices on IOT VLAN.

2) No IOT device can initiate contact with any other VLAN.

3) No IOT device may communicate with any other device on the IOT VLAN.

4) The only access to the Admin network is through its login.

 

I want the IOT devices totally isolated so no hack of any IOT device, or it's related cloud servers, can be used to access anything other than that IOT device, yet they are accessible to serve employees without having to go through their respective cloud servers. So if there was no internet connection, all IOT devices that support local access would be accessible and working to the extent they do not require a network connection to perform their function..

 

Bonus points if you can configure the system to enable VPN access to the Employee VLAN and thus to the IOT devices.

    Hello Boatguy54

     

    And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

     

    Forgive me if I need to clarify the IOT VLAN part. So the IOT VLAN should be accessible by employees but the same IOT devices should not have communication between IOT devices themselves in the IOT VLAN?
