Crazy idea for net printer

[SimpleSi]

I just had this mad idea spring to mind.

 

In Lancs land we have a Cisco 3750 thingy (I call it a router - no idea if it is really-its supplied and maintained by CLEO -)

 

Ports 1-10 are for curric use

 

Ports 11-13 are for admin network

 

curric net wil be something like 10.9.4.0/24

admin will be 10.134.7/24

 

Now Port 24 is the I/O port connected to the CLEO SDSL to Ethernet box.

 

What do you think the chances are of sticking a little 4-port switch in the path and connecting up a networked photocopier so that it can be printed to from both networks?

 

Non-starter?

So what IP address would you give it ?

 

If you give it one from the curric network then the admin network would need to know how to route to it.

So what IP address would you give it ?

 

I don't know - but I think that all traffic (other than the local lan stuff) gets "routed" to my port 24.

 

Did a tracert of 192.168.123.231 and it seems to route beyond me to to other 10.xxx.yyy.zzz devices before going into the request time out zone.

 

So I was thinking that something like that address would do nicely - mm - lets see if I've a little AP lying around to try
