PFsense and Xerox VersaLink Multi Funcion Printer
-
@roney-s-mathews I would put a static LAN IP address and that wouldn't have anything to do with your ISP...not sure I understand the scan to email...couldn't scan to PDF? If you're using a website to scan to email address, the firewall might block. Are the email addresses hosted by Microsoft?
-
Looks to be entirely in the office365/printer config. pfSense merely routes that traffic.
I see no reason to put a public IP on the printer, it only needs to use a static external IP for outgoing traffic, which will be the case if the pfSense WAN is static.

Thanks I used DHCP reservation for the printer on pfsense and was able to scan to email within the organization. However the mailbox moved the mail item to the spam folder in Microsoft 365.
I believe I read something about having that IP whitelisted in the domain config page.
-
Did you add the SPF record as shown in the doc?
-
Will be adding the spf record in an hour. Would you be able to tell me if I need to enter the internal printer static IP or the external static IP of the PFsense box?
Thanks
-
The external IP is what I expect to see there. That's what the main servers will see.

I entered my external IPv4 address on my domain web providers spf TXT record. The emails that originates from the printer still shows up as SpAm within the organization internal mailboxes.
-
Hmm, well I'd be asking Microsoft then if you've done everything in their instructions.
-
Thanks. Yup I've reached out to Microsoft on Technet. Hopefully we get a response from them. Thanks this issue can be resolved.
-
Is there any service that I can enable on pfsense to help easily detect printers in my VLAN? The Xerox printer at times are visible to workstations and at other times it's no longer available.
Thoughts?
-
It depends how they are being 'detected'. If they are entered into hosts by IP, the best way IMO, they should always be visible.
If they dependent on some broadcast domain style detection protocol then you would need something to proxy/bridge that between subnet. So Avahi for mDNS or IGMPproxy / PIMD for SSDP.
If they seen by your DC you may not need any of that of course.Steve
