Static IP Printer – ports on switch

by mirrorman . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

I have a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch and was told that printers w/ Static IP have to be patched into the last 4 positions on a switch. I’ve never heard of this. Is this convention or the way it is? I couldn’t see what he was doing, but it seemed to alleviate the problem of connecting to that printer. If true, why, and what happens if you have more than 4 static IP printers?
