Networking, subnet and security

On another thread, I proposed the following thread:

Subnet 1

   Network:   10.14.101.104/29    
   Hosts:     10.14.101.105 - 10.14.101.110  
   Broadcast: 10.14.101.111 

   I assigned the following nodes to this subnet

      10.14.101.105
      10.14.101.108
      10.14.101.110

Subnet 2

   Network:   10.14.101.112/29   
   Hosts:     10.14.101.113 - 10.14.101.118        
   Broadcast: 10.14.101.119  

   I assigned the following nodes to this subnet

      10.14.101.113
      10.14.101.114
      10.14.101.115

One of the reponses I received from this proposal was:

It's not a solution that will provide any security in the sense that it will prevent a node in one subnet from reaching a node in another.  
You could ask about that.....

How can I provide security to prevent a node in one subnet fromreaching a node in another subnet ?

Good day,

You either can use VLAN's or create rules on your firewall to deny bidirectional traffic between those two subnets.
Create VLANs for each subnet group, then apply an access control list to each VLAN interface to control the traffic. The VLAN interface MUST be the the default gateway for the subnet group for this to work properly.
Remember that if you want internet access the ACL must be configured to DENY the specific traffic to another subnet, then a final statement of ALLOW ALL will ensure internet connectivity still functions.
