hi,
My objective here is to provide internet to all 8 ports, but i don't want them to comunicate between each other...
The solutions i was trying to do here were:
1 - assign a diferent vlan to each port. The problem with this is that i can only have one "up" vlan at a time, because this switch only suports layer 2, and my layer 3 gateway that this switch connects to only suports 4 vlans (and very limited vlan options), so i don't think this is going to work.
2 - another way i though was to config the ports like "protected ports" so that no port can comunicate with the other ports, but in this case i would need at least one management port to be able to access all other, and i don't know if this is possible.
So, if anyone has any solution to this, or maybe i'm doing something wrong, any ideias will be greatly apreciated. By the way, for people that are not familiar with this switch, it has 8 LRE ports and 2 GB ports.
thanks in advance, regards,
hugo
