Printer on Different Vlan

[ankitohc]

When I moved the printer to a different port within in the same office. The printer stopped working.

Old IP address- 10.10.5.200

The new IP address obtained by

DHCP 10.10.22.98

All users have the printer configured with an old IP address. How to get the printer working with the same Old IP address after moving to a different port? Any suggestions?

Depends on the setup, is this same VLAN extended other switch ? if so use same VLAN in the access port to get same IP address

if this is same switch, check the vlan configuration old port where this printer connected, and where this is moved. make sure both the ports are in same vlan to get old IP address.

It's a different switch,  I have put that port to VLAN 5 and it worked.

Glad all working  and good to know  soon you put in to right VLAN5.

Hello @ankitohc,

Ensure that the new port has got the same VLAN as the former/original port.

If DHCP is activated, you could also reser IP add for the Printer'sMAC, so that the IP will remain the same.

Login  to the switch check old port is belongs to which vlan....? and new port is belongs to  which vlan....?

I think....new port and old port are belongs to different vlans....that is why you are getting different network ip address...

You can use

Switch# show vlan brief

command to verify that...

if the new port is not  belongs to the same vlan as old port....try to move new port to same vlan as old port...

I hope this will solve the problem....
