Hey All,
We've recently purchased an Astaro Security Gateway here at our offices in Los Angeles. However, we have yet to implement the Gateway to our network because of a few concerns.
Here is a basic network diagram of our company:
We are running 30 computers, 5 printers and 1 file server on our unsecured DSL line network. We would like to implement the Astaro to make sure the above is secure.
Here are a couple questions:
1. Should we give the 30 computers, 5 printers, and file server static IP addresses and configure them manually in the gateway? or should we have the Astaro dynamically assign the IP's for the computers, 5 printers, and 1 file server?
2. If the Astaro fails, how do we ensure that the company's computers will still have internet access sans security gateway? Can we plug in another DSL line (we have 2) into the Astaro and use that one if the 1st line fails?
3. What happens if our DSL router resets? If the Astaro is dynamically assigning IP address, I believe the problem will correct itself? Is that the case?
To sum it up:
What's the best way to connect our 30 PC's, 5 printers, and 1 file server on the Astaro 220 Security Gateway!
We really appreciate everyone's help on this matter.
Best regards,
