    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    Unfortunately not, there'll be no internet connection to the printer. Only the iPad with Cellular will have internet. Are you telling me I'm not going to be able to block AirPrint on certain VLANS?

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    For my test I’m using my Samsung M2020W but for the installation it’ll be something else (exact brand/model hasn’t been decided yet). I’m expecting them all to work the same way though over AirPrint

    Well that's interesting / terrifying. Will a VLAN be able to block this behaviour? Man I wish I knew what I was doing

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    I thought that too, but the other day I hooked up another router to my base router via ethernet, allowed it to DHCP out IPs over a different subnet to that of the base station, connected to it over wifi and yet I was still able to see the airprinter connected to my basestation. I realise the job...

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    Well the switch is still plugged in to my router via eth0, and the ap-ac is plugged in to eth1, and I was expecting the ap-ac to provide me a connection to the box over wifi and then i'd be able to access the switch management console, but the wifi just wont connect and I appear unable to...

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    Yeah the idea is it’ll just be it’s own network with no internet. The only internet connection will exist on the iPad over cellular. When I updated the settings of the switch using the basic wizard it warned me I’d have to connect my laptop to it to receive an ip and then I’d be able to access...

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    Purchased an er-x and a Ap-AC Lite. Can't even connect to the ap-ac wifi hotspot :D I can see the wifi SSID in the list but my mac just wont connect. this is going to be fun... one question about this. I've decided to remove the internet router part of the topology because, when i thought...

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    I don’t mind the learning curve, although I’m saying that before many hours pulling my hair out! But you might just have saved me a lot of money and it’ll therefore be a better proposition for my client, so thanks a ton!

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    If I disallow Bonjour and / or turn off wireless, won’t I then effectively disable Air printing altogether?

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    The er-x appears to provide layer 2 only, so are you saying I don’t need a layer 3 device? How would I allow two VLANS to talk to each other in that scenario, or is that not even a problem for my needs? If I used the er-x and say, an ap-ac lite, that would be a cheap and effective solution to...

    Isolating an AirPrinter in Vlan

    Hi Total network noob here looking for some expert advice. I require a small network consisting of an iPad with cellular and connected to a local WiFi access point, an air printer connected to the same access point, and one or more mobile phones from joe public connecting periodically to the...
