Question about Destination Port/Services for Printing
Robbun
Newbie ✭
What is the preferred/recommended destination port/service when allowing a VLAN access to a Printer? All I want to do is lock down the printer so that it allows no other service but to print.
I already have a rule in place which does not allow any traffic to go FROM the Printer [in the VLAN it sits on the network] but I have devices on another VLAN that need to be able to print to it. The access rule I created to specifically allow other devices from another VLAN works but the current destination port/service is set to “any”.
Is there anything particularly better and perhaps a bit more secure to use?

Follow the below SonicWALL KB for the printer port related query.
This is not very helpful at all, sadly - unless I am reading it wrong.
The Port Assignments don't seem to accurately reflect the options available in the Port/Services option when I setup the rule. For now, I have left Port/Services to "Any".
Sonicwalls are very object-oriented, so you have to create things in order to use them.
