I need to print across 2 of 5 VLANs – what am I missing?
The two devices to connect w/ high-level config are as follows:
1. work laptop – VLAN 3, DHCP, wireless LAN access
2. printer – VLAN 1, Firewalla Reserved IP, wired LAN access
The environment is:
1. Gear: FWP > Aruba 1930 (managed switch) > Aruba AP22 (poe AP)
-
FWP config:
VLAN 1 – internal devices (personal phones, kids tablets, Sonos, etc) – devices I own / control used by smart humans across whichever services we need. mDNS Relay is On.
VLAN 2 – internal devices (NAS, Printer, etc) – devices I own / control which are 'resources' and have – mostly – dedicated uses with known services. Mostly I want to isolate these from VLAN 1 and/or the internet (which is easier across a VLAN than managing internet access per device).
VLAN 3 – adult work devices (laptops, phones, etc) – devices I do not own or control which I want to isolate from VLAN 1/2. mDNS Relay is On.
VLAN 4 – kid school devices (laptops) – like VLAN 3, devices I do not own or control which I want to isolate from VLAN 1/2
VLAN 5 – guest devices – completely isolated from the LAN -
Rules to facilitate printer access:
– Rule 1
– Action: Allow
– Matching: printer IP
– On: VLAN 3
– Direction: Outbound only
– Schedule: Always
When Rule 1 was unsuccessful, I added
– Rule 2
– Action: Allow
– Matching: printer IP
– On: work laptop
– Direction: Bi-directional
– Schedule: Always
- LAN switch config (Aruba 1930):
Port 1
– use case: FWP 'uplink' to Aruba 1930
– Tagged @ all 5 VLANs
– Untagged @ none (default is "1")
Port 2
– use case: Aruba 1930 'uplink' to Aruba AP22
– Tagged @ all 5 VLANs
– Untagged @ none (default is "1")
Port 3 – Tagged – none
– use case: printer
– Tagged @ none (default is "1")
– Untagged @ VLAN 1
