Should printers be on separate VLAN?
The printer server usually doesn’t need to be on the same VLAN as the printers since it doesn’t need to speak with them using layer 2 but connects using TCP/IP.
How many VLANs are possible?
Under IEEE 802.1Q, the maximum number of VLANs on a given Ethernet network is 4,094 (4,096 values provided by the 12-bit VID field minus reserved values at each end of the range, 0 and 4,095).
Can a device belong to more than one VLAN?
General VLAN operation Ports on multiple devices can belong to the same VLAN. A dynamic VLAN is an 802.1Q-compliant VLAN membership that the switch temporarily creates on a port to provide a link to another port either in the same VLAN on another device.
Can a printer have two IP addresses?
A network printer can be configured with a fixed IP address or it can be set to request an address from the network’s Dynamic Host Control Protocol, or DHCP, server. When two printers on a network register with the same IP address, it means they are both configured with the same static IP address.
Can a printer be on multiple networks?
The simplest way is to just add a second router behind the main router. Put the printer on the main router and it can but used by both networks. You would connect all your private users to the second router.
How to connect a printer to a VLAN?
Switch A port Fa0/23 (VLAN 300 access port) is connected to Router port Gi0/1/0 (now set to be an access port for VLAN 300) Switch A port Fa0/10 (VLAN 100 access port) is connected to Router port Gi0/1/1 (now set to be an access port for VLAN 100)
Is the printer on the same network as host C?
Both switches A & B have trunk ports configured. Host C is on VLAN 100 (sorry, forgot to mention this!) – this was done to check the trunk configuration was working; whereas the printer is on VLAN 300. Host C also can’t ping the printer (although it’s on the same switch, but different VLAN and network).
Just connect the Edge with one port on each vlan and you’re done. Later, if your needs change, just unplug the router and you’re done. This person is a verified professional.

Do you need router to route between VLANs?
Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that you are a professional. You need a router or a Layer 3 switch to route between VLANS. In practice you would setup VLAN 300 on Switch A and B. Then configure the trunk between the two switches and a trunk port to the router.
