VLAN Security
Hi. I have 8 GS728TP ProSafe switches (and a couple of GS752TP's) in the company network which I have setup using VLAN 1 for the data network, PC's, Laptops etc and VLAN 2 for the telephone system plus one or two other devices I don't want on the data network. All is working well and as it should but I now have a need to secure both VLAN's and prevent all but required access from one VLAN to the other. There are about half a dozen devices on VLAN 2 that need access to VLAN 1 and just one device on VLAN 1 that needs access to VLAN 2. In order to ensure the utmost security I'd like to be able to limit access by the MAC address of the devices but doing via the IP would also work. I have looked at the security page on the switch management via the web access but can't quite figure out what it is I need to be doing having not dealt with security before. Can anyone point me to a resource that would explain how this works and how I need to set it up? Or does someone with experience of this have a simple explanantion of how it's done?Solved
