BR500 Inter VLAN rules?
Hi everyone!
I'm thinking of buying a BR500 firewall.
Does anyone have experience with firewall rules with port restrictions between VLANs on this?
Are they easy to configure and do they work?
I need to know this because I need to have traffic between printers, servers and clients all on another vlan.
The clients should be able to talk to the printers and servers but only on certain ports, all the other traffic must be blocked.
Is this possible / easily configurable on this device?
Thanks very much for the information.

Hi LegitUser,

It seems that you are referring to Extended Access Control List (ACL). Access Control is supported on BR500 but there is no option to deny/allow port numbers to a specific VLAN. Kindly read pages 51-55 of the BR500 user manual here about Access Control.
I suggest you to implement Smart Managed Switches like the GC728XP (or Fully Managed Switches like the M4300 series switches) that fully supports ACL. The Smart Managed Switch or Fully Managed Switch should be connected to the BR500. You can configure the BR500 as the DHCP server to the VLANs that you will create on the switch. Then configure Extended ACL on the switch. For more information about the GC728XP and M4300 series switches, check the links below:
