Hey all - guess what? @ArubaNetworks AOS10 just dropped at #ATMDigital unifies WLANs. No more "instant" or "controller". One AP software and can bridge or tunnel to a gateway arbitrarily from the same physical AP simultaneously.

If you have @ArubaNetworks , then you do NOT need VLAN explosion! Just create a role for iot. Like I did for my home :) Then just use ArubaOS to deny to that role. No need to know what subnet/host address IOT device has! Even works on wired devices.
