Layer 3 Network Isolation (ACL) Configuration and Benefits

L3 Network Isolation (ACL)

Layer 3 Network Isolation accomplishes the same thing as Network Isolation, but allows customization of specific networks or VLANs. Layer 3 Network Isolation utilizes ACLs on the UniFi Switch and requires either a combination of a UniFi Gateway and UniFi Switch, or networks with a UniFi L3 switch set as the router. For more information on switch ACLs and supported switch models, ACLs are supported on specific UniFi Switch models, primarily focusing on Layer 2 switches.

Supported models include:

  • UniFi Switch (excluding USW-Flex, USW-Flex-Mini, US-8, USW-Industrial, USW-Ultra, USW-Ultra-60W, and USW-Ultra-210W)

Note: ACLs are not available on the switch ports of UniFi Gateways or In-Wall Access Points.

To implement:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Networks

2. Enable L3 Network Isolation (ACL)

More flexible configuration options can be found in Settings > Security > ACL Rules starting in UniFi Network version 8.2.x
