2 Ports on the same VLAN
Hello,
I am trying to get 2 ports of our firewall to be on the same network/VLAN so they can talk to eachother. Basically, one port currently has our AP and I would like to connect our printer to the other as well. I really don't want to go out and buy a switch if i don't have to, as our firewall already has a gigabit connection with 3 empty ports.
Hello, and thank you for the response. I found out the problem, under port membership only port one was checked. After checking the other ports we're green across the board. Thanks again!

Hello badams,
Welcome to the community!
If you only have the default configuration and did not created any VLAN Profiles, then they should be able to communicate since they are part of the same network. If you do have created multiple VLANs on the router/firewall, go to Network Configuration > LAN Settings and check your VLAN Profiles (see image below for reference):
See the port membership and also, if you want to VLANs talking to each other "Enable Inter-VLAN Routing" is an option:
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
