[mythtv-users] VLANs, HDHomeruns and bears, oh my

With self-isolation and some time on our repeatedly washed hands, I'm sure
many of us are tackling projects or even just thinking of future projects
to distract ourselves.

I was thinking about isolating IoT devices like the HDHomeruns, Rokus and
Blu-ray player on a VLAN.

Knowing the term VLAN is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. I
know I need a VLAN aware switch and a VLAN aware router.

Just curious how you configure this so I can read more on the topic. Let's
call the MythTV box letterman.

Other computers in the home are on VLAN 1. HDHomeruns are on VLAN 2.

letterman can see/access the HDHomeruns.

letterman can see/access the other computers/NAS and vice versa.

Also is it safe to have letterman be able to access VLAN1 or is it
"compromised" because it can communicate with IoT devices?

Thanks for any suggestions and I wish that you and yours are safe and
healthy during this time.
