VLAN vs VLAN Interface (alien.top)

Noob here. I have new Omada gear (router and switch). What's the point of setting up just a VLAN if you can't assign a separate subnet to it and create ACLs? With a VLAN Interface, all of that's possible.

Assigning a subnet is something you do on a router or a Layer 3 switch. A Layer 2 switch doesn’t care about subnets as far as switching is concerned.
