I'm doing a new home network setup with Astaro and had a couple of questions. I've attached a Visio diagram showing the proposed setup.
My questions are:
1- How the existing Netgear router is setup to fit into the equation.
I need to keep it in the Network because it can a) act as a hub for the machines on my internal network and b) the Mac machine in a different room accesses the network wirelessley via Airport (no physical network connection in that room). Curious as to how I need to reconfigure the Netgear wireless router to participate as shown in the attached diagram called 'proposed'. I assume it will have a new !P to reach its admin interface and I'm proposing to turn off the DHCP functionality if a machine in the DMZ can serve as a DHCP server. Let me know if I'm correct on both counts here.
2- When setting up the Astaro box, I'll need to provide the IP of the machine that will serve for administration. If in the setup on the attached 'proposed' diagram I want to use the laptop, do I need to give it a static IP temporarily to do the administration? I won't know the IP of that machine. I'm sure this is a conceptual error on my part, so my question here is one of "order of steps" in the setup. Connect the machines as shown in the 'proposed' diagram first, then turn on the machine that will server as the Astaro box and install Astaro, or something totally different?
3- If you could help with what the IPs for each interface would be on the Astaro and Netgear (if mine are wrong) along with gateway information where needed. I'm going to have the same subnet for each (/24) so that won't be a problem.
Thanks again for any help, and let me know if any more info or clarification is required.
