Hi all, we have taken on a business centre as a client. They have a draytek firewall that has a primary and secondary internet connection but there is no segregation of the network between clients. All clients connect into the same network switches on the same Lan. The firewall is doing DHCP.
We will need to set it so that each client in the business centre is on a separate virtual network - segregated from each other.
The business centre won't be providing any firewall services for the clients except for the staff of the business centre.
The business centre will need to ensure internet connectivity for all clients fails over to the secondary broadband line
based on the above I'm trying to figure out the best plan and looking for our suggestions as we are new to Sophos.
We are planning to put in an XG firewall to protect the staff of the business centre and their PC's but for setting up separate logical networks for each client - should we use this device as well or what I'm thinking is maybe we should either
(i) get a separate router and just use it for segregation and setup VLANs and then get VLAN compatible switches and set the required VLAN tag on the relevant ports for each office on the commonly used switches.
or
(ii) get in a separate XG and just have it do routing and configure VLAN's for each office on it. Put each office on a separate VLAN and then get VLAN compatible switches and set the required VLAN tag on the relevant ports for each office on the commonly used switches.
Let me know what you think.
Pity Sophos don't do switches as well.
Thanks
Gerry
