Should I use a private VLAN

Hi All,

I have a local area network of over 120 users with about 30% connected via wireless (Cisco Aironet 1230s). Recently the uptake of wireless has blown out of proportion and I'm worried users are going to start feeling the pinch in regards to the limited bandwidth the wireless network offers.

Rather than purchase additional APs I thought I'd look for a cheaper option and one of those would be to implement private vlans to minimise the "chatter" between hosts, as they're really is no business case for host to host connectivity.

Really I just wanted to bounce the idea around and see what people think.

My intention was to create an isolated secondary vlan for end users and use the existing vlan our servers are in as the primary.

If anyone wants to offer up any advice, previous experience, or what have you, I'm all ears.

Cheers
