Block Computer From My Network

[leosacorporations]

Please I need help on how best to be able to block some specific computer from my network not minding the fact that they are pluged into my LAN on my switch.

Is there a way to enable a rule to prevent such system from accessing anything from the router?

I am new to cisco and my router is RV042

Thank you.

Dear Charles,

Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.

What you can do is set an access rule(s) to prevent certain(s) IP addresses, statically assigned to those computers, from accessing any WAN service. 

So, if you setup DHCP server settings on the router you would have to assign static IP addresses to the computers you look to prevent internet access from, outside from the DHCP pool range and enter those static IP addresses on the DHCP config in the router (DHCP > DHCP Setup , Static IP).  Please refer to chapter 4 in the admin guide for details;

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv0xx/administration/guide/rv0xx_AG_78-19576.pdf

Once you have the static IP addresses assigned to the devices and entered on the router, you can set access rules to allow/deny internet access to them.  Please refer to "Configuring access rules" section on page 106, chapter 7 of the admin guide.

I hope you find this information useful and please do not hesitate to reach me back if there is anything else I may help you with.

Kind regards,

Dear Jeffrey,

I am most grateful because this worked very perfectly blocking the system via its static IP address.

Because of the dynamic power of assignment of IP addresses, in future anything can go wrong with IP is there any way I can do same problem using the systems MAC address?

Thank you for the previous solution, I am doing some wonderful blocking now.

Best Regards.
