Hello everyone. I have a situation where I want to use an XG135 like a Layer 3 Bridge so I can allow 3 separate companies to connect through it using the WAN addresses we have been assigned. I want to be able to limit the bandwidth per port in the XG without performing any other scaning or security functions as those will be left to the downstream UTMs. I tried to setup a bridge between Port2(WAN), 5,6 and 7(DMZ) but when I assign the public IP's behind the XG, the traffic does not flow through correctly. Here are a few of my questions: I think I should be using bridge but am not sure, is that correct? If so, what is the best way to use that Where do I start to figure out how to limit the bandwidth on the port level? Do I have to run the Comcast Modem in bridge mode? Side Note: I tried this but the modem then picks up a random public IP and then does not allow the assigned ones to work. When I put the modem back into normal mode where it uses its own internal DHCP (10.1.10.x) I can then assign our assigned WAN addresses to the downstream devices and they connect. This might be a Comcast issues so if anyone knows anyhting about that, let me know. Here is a diagram of how I want to phyically connect everything.

How to divide and limit WAN bandwidth using an XG UTM

1. If so, what is the best way to use that
