Go to Static IP first, then to NAT'ed IP

Paul Dunn

I am setting up a new XG210 for the first time.

Current, all our network printers are configured with an external IP address and all the workstations print directly to the IP 

For example PRT1 has an IP of 64.115.86.20 and PRT2 has an IP of 64.115.86.21

I want to be able to not have to change the way the printers are set up on each workstation, so what I was hoping to do was to put the workstations behind the firewall and they could still access the printers via the printer's static IP.

Then once all the workstations are behind the XG210, I could then change the IP address of the printer to an internal IP and NAT the address to the original external IP so that the workstation could still get to the printers without any changes.

Is this possible? 

I can not figure out how to set up the XG210

TIA

    Hi I am trying to do the exact same thing.  This may be a stupid question.  

    If all the IPs (Printers and computers) are on the Lan side and on the same subnet,  What does it need a Wan address for?

    A rule that allows communication I can see being needed.

     

    I am also looking for a standard Sophos documentation of setting up

    Printers, other devices like Voip,  and the various kinds of nats.    

     

    Can someone point the way out to a newbe.  

    I have been messing with this printer for two weeks or more.

     

    Thanks
