Isolation A.K.A. that switch within a switch

Is there some creative way I can isolate off a few ports of a switch to be their own mini-switch, so to speak? ISO, as far as I know doesn't do that as it prevents that port from talking with other ports marked ISO. I want the exact opposite of that (ports marked somehow can only talk amongst themselves).

Matt,
That's called a VLAN. LOL
But seriously,
untag some ports in a random vlan and you're done?
What am I missing that you want?

Might be able to do it now that q in q works. Didn't think of that. I need to pass vlans.

You can create multiple vlans for the ports you want to isolate with U and Ts for those ports to isolate with Es on all other ports.
Also remember you just need one vlan with Ts as you can use allowed vlan list
