I need to construct a wired network that achieves only two purposes: a) Allows 40+ users to access Internet only; b) establishes user isolation preventing any user from viewing the files of others users. There is no LAN to LAN communication. Initial thought is to use VLANs or ACLs for user isolation. But which 24 port switches and router will support this many VLANs/ACLs? We need to avoid/minimize Enterprise products to keep cost low. Network does not have a server and computer MAC addresses frequently change. Already have SLM224G smart switches, if they can be used. Please help me.
