Can I have a Vlan in side of the hotspot network to allow traffic to not be affected by the hotspot.
I have a city wide wireless net work with a hot spot at the office, no vlan. Works great. What I’m trying to do is add ip video cameras across the city and talk to a server within the local lan. I’m setting the cameras and the server to a different ip range and subnet as the hotspot but the hotspot sends out ARP tables that set every ip to the ip of the hotspot aka 10.5.50.1. will putting the cameras and the server on a Vlan fix this or is the different way of setting up things on the lan so they are not affected by the hotspot. Switches and hotspot are Ros and wifi are ubnt. Thanks for any help.
I had VLAN over hotspot interface and it was very slow, one way 20mbps, but another way 2mbps. At first I thought of bad switch or ethernet card, but after I removed hotspot and VLAN and put IP’s on physical interfaces, I got speed of 90mbps full duplex. Just to mention, both interfaces were ethernet (RB433 and Groove A) and connected through one switch.
not exalty what is was trying to do. the hotspot would have no Vlan on it and completely different devices would have the Vlan. maybe i should have asked will putting devices on a Vlan stop them from seeing ARP from the non Vlan and other Vlans.
Each VLAN is treated as separate subnet. It means that, by default, host in specific VLAN cannot communicate with host that is member of another VLAN, although they are connected in the same switch. So if you want inter-VLAN communication you need a router.
