Network Gateway Selection

Satyam Mehrotra

Hi all, we recently purchased XG550 and a Dell Switch for our new office, the network guy who used to manage left the job and I am not pro at networking. My Dell switch and Servers have a 40Gb interface while my XG550 has only default 1G ports. My problem is that my LAN to LAN traffic is huge. I want to ask if I assign my servers and PCs firewall gateway, will my network run on 1G or should I use Dell switch gateway which has a 40G interface.

    Hello Satyam,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    Is your Dell device capable of routing (L3 switch) or you have VLANs configured ending in the XG?

    You can configure either the Dell or XG as a DHCP server, but this would depend on your network configuration, also you could opt for a Windows Server to handle the DHCP. 

    Regards,
