In networking, both Guest VLAN and Layer 2 Isolation are techniques used to enhance network security and manage traffic within a network. However, they serve different purposes and are implemented in different ways. Below are the key differences between Guest VLAN and Layer 2 Isolation.

The guest interface subnet end client cannot access to non-guest interface, however non-guest subnet can access to it.

The layer 2 isolation however can block each other in the same subnet.
