5406zl switch and WAP 530 Wireless, VLAN, security issues

Please bear with me, I am far from an expert when dealing with VLANS.
Here is our scenario. We have 3 HP 5406zl switches which we are in the process of setting up VLANS. The first phase of this project is configuring our HP WAP 530 devices for both â publicâ (internet access only) and â privateâ connections. We would like to have the public and private networks on 2 different IP scopes.
I have the VLANs setup and right now and have successfully setup the WAPâ s for the most part. The one problem I am running into is we do not want to let the â publicâ wireless communicate with our â privateâ network. However we do need communication between the â publicâ VLAN the DHCP server, and firewall which is on the â privateâ network/VLAN. I hope that makes sense. Currently I can ping the private network resources when I am connected to the public wireless system, I only want necessary communication with DHCP server and firewall no other resources.
Is there a way to restrict on the VLAN level communication between one entire VLAN and a set of ports. This way we could still allow communication between the ports that the DHCP server is on. What would be the specific commands for this?


VLAN â 1(private) = 172.200.x.x
This VLAN is currently the flat default VLAN that has all servers, firewall and workstations. DHCP server = 172.200.1.15

VLAN â 19(public) = 192.192.168.x
This VLAN is strictly for public internet access for guests. Only needs to get DHCP from default VLAN 1

Here is a little map:

Firewall - 172.200.0.1
|
Switch 1 5406zl - VLAN 1 = 172.200.1.101, VLAN 19 = 192.192.168.1
|
Port B1(port the WAP is plugged into on the switch)
|
WAP 530 â SSID Private VLAN 1= 172.200.x.x
- SSID Public VLAN 19 = 192.192.168.x


I have also attached our switch configuration.

Thanks so much.

Sorry for the wierd formatting issues in the first post. Here is the body in an easier to read format:
