Hello all,
I'm not really sure how to handle separating my office equipment from the rest of the shared office network I am on. I need to network a printer (HP x476dw), SIP phone, and mac together. I will be connecting to a large gigabit network with PoE if that matters and I only have one port to connect to. I want to make sure that my computer is the only one that can access the printer, hopefully without using the printer's clunky firewall since I can't figure it out! Can I use a Netgear GS105 switch or do I need something else? I can also purchase a "Private Subnet/Private VLAN" or a "Private Office Network Wired" from the site. My networking knowledge is limited so i'm not really sure what will work.
Thanks in advance for your advice!!
