I have a couple of computers that are used in a "Business Center" area where anyone can use them for whatever they want as well as a connection for their personal Laptop should they need access.
Here is my issue. The building is VERY old, built in the early 1900's. Many of the walls are stone. The engineering department ran the wires but the Business center computers do not come directly back to my computer room so that I can segment them off my network and put them on a port on my firewall which will put them on their own network and not allow them access to see my full network.
The switches are all unmanaged and the computers actually run through 3 or 4 switches before it returns to my Computer room.
If I change the switches to managed switches, is there a way I can segment a port on the switch so I can hook that one port, through 4 switches, to my firewall and get them off my network?
