Maybe there’s a industry feature/implementation for this but i’m unaware of what it would be called
Essentially is there a way to have a single Wifi SSID yet have private networks inside of it so that i.e. we have devices A/B/C/D/E connected to it
A and B are guests, on their own, client isolation, they can’t see or talk to each other
C/D/E are treated like their own little LAN, can broadcast to each other and exchange Layer2 information as normal, but have no interaction with A/B
The first question is where does this need to be done. Can it be done at the switch level, or does it need to be done at the AP?
The second is can this be integrated with hotspot?
The end goal is to have all devices that use the same voucher code be on their own network so they can chromecast or do whatever, but also to have client security so there’s no device-to-device communication from those with different voucher codes
This needs to be an automatic process, not manually managed
I know this can be done with multiple SSID’s but i’d rather avoid broadcasting dozens of them if possible and just have a single one with everything managed through a voucher/username system
