Network Segments

[golden.parrot]

Hello,

I have a small antiques shop. We use a 7800N router.

We have a card terminal to take payments which connects through our broadband. We use the same broadband connection for our computers.

In order to pass PCI-DSS (credit card regulations) we need to answer 'YES' to this question...

"Are the point-of-sale (POS) terminals, devices, and computers you use for processing credit card payments isolated from these other computers? In other words, are they on disconnected networks, or different network segments?"

It says we need to set up the following...

"The POS equipment is on a separate network segment, separated by a firewall from the rest of the network."

My question is, can this be done by using the 7800N router without buying any extra hardware?

If not, I will probably just change my terminals to use the phone line.

Many thanks

Jonathan

Can't be done mate, it is possible on our new 7800DXL/DX/VDOX using the 'Interface Grouping' section so you can isolate port 1 for example from other devices on the network
