Printing segregated to VLAN by itself
For the life of me, can't get the printer to be alive on its own VLAN.. The SRX5308 is the fw-router (no VPNs just VLANs) Identified 12 VLANs and treating these as port based VLANs and there's a M...
Got it, thx
I really do want to move the printers to the default LAN (VLAN 1)
And, I do not want to enable interVLAN routing on the SRX5308 for the 9 VLANs that i want to NOT see each other (meaning NOT have access to one another's resources) ,
These 9 particular VLANs are connected behind the SRX5308 thru the M4100 acting as a port based VLAN switch. They are all flat LANs after that.
So, to move the printer(s) i will have to put in some VLAN rules as you say.
I look in the M4100 config screens and can see where i can put in under VLAN routing (NOT enabling ip port routing as in L2+), a specific ip target, so if i input the static ip's i want to assign to the printers here, and as long as only the default LAN (VLAN 1) has InterVLAN routing enabled, then it goes to follow that the intended segregated VLAN members will be able to reach the networked printers and thus be able to ping and print to them?
Do i have this right?
Bcs i also saw where in ACL rules, someone can put this in, for the same intended funcionality it seems to me, , however, i just blew up my M4100 (i will have to reboot it) because i wrote a ip based ACL for anyone to be able to reach the printer as it now sits in VLAN 4 all by its lonesome self and the entire M4100 STOPPED all communications with everything as soon as i hit the "apply".
So I will have to learn ACL's at some point, but i'd rather do it the easiect way for now without busting the M4100 again as i learn the ACL way.. altho i can see the added capability that ACLs can really provide.
So pls advise and i will keep going, and now move the 1st monster printer/copier back into the default LAN and try this and THX for all good advice thus far.
