Moving Printer/Scanner to IoT
Tags:
#ACL
I have the following OMADA equipment:
- (1) TL-R605 TP-Link Router/Gateway (V1)
- (1) OC-200 TP-Link Omada Hardware Controller
-
(1) TL-SG2010P Managed POE Switch
-
(2) TL-SG2218) Managed 16-Port Switches
-
(3) TP-Link EAP245 Access Point
-
(1) TP-Link EAP225 Outdoor Access Point
I have three VLANs, LAN, IoT, and Guest.
I am using all the latest software and due to the addition of stateful ACLs, I am finally able to move my printer from the LAN (Main) VLAN to the IoT network. Here's what I did to complete this task on my OC-200 Controller:
- Profile > Groups > Created a MAC Group for my Printer/Scanner's MAC Address
- Switch ACL - Created (2) Permit TCP and UDP, Bi-directional ACLs to allow connection to MAC Group in #1
- From the printer, logged into IoT VLAN and noted the assigned IP address (look it up on Controller)
- Services >DHCP add an entry for the printer using the new IP address - obtained in #3 (on IoT VLAN)
This works! But, I have (2) questions - and will accept other advice too ;-) :
- is using the MAC group (See #1 above) for my printer the right method or is there a better way?
- Do I need UDP in my switch ACL (See #2 above)?
TIA
