Cisco Router ad UTM220s?

tuscani
Question... we currently have an ASG220 behind a Cisco 2951 router.. we plan to deploy two new UTM220s in HA mode here soon.. but I am wondering.. is the Cisco router really even required?? Why or why not?

Previously we had private MoE connections to some clients but those no longer exist.. would be nice to run the UTMs directly to the ISP simplying the setup.

    Hi,

    Astaro supports 802.1Q VLANs; 
    Cisco should support them as well as their own standard, so you need to see which you are using.

    It is possible that either your router is doing the VLAN routing, or your switches are (e.g. if you're using Port-based VLANs).

    BTW, you should know that the IPS in Astaro will be a bottleneck if you want to run it on Intra-VLAN traffic. Depending on your needs, you can create exceptions to not filter some traffic.
