 ===== Block Access to LAN when on VLAN 20 =====
-<WRAP important>
-**IMPORTANT NOTE:**  If you use an **unmanaged switch** this will not work as trying to restrict a client on VLAN 20 from accessing a device on the LAN doesn’t have anything to do with pfSense at that point.
-The unmanaged switch is “before” pfSense.  It has to do with only the switch and since it is unmanaged you have no way of preventing one device from getting to another due to how unmanaged switches work.  You need a managed switch for this.
-When we setup Wireless Access Points that have VLAN capabilities they have managed switches built into them.  We often use Ubiquiti Wireless Access Points.
