UTM home and Windows server 2012 setup

After reading Barry's comments on my previous posts, I have decided to run DNS server and DHCP on my home server (Windows 2012 server). So I have some basic things I wanted to clarify:
-I will be connecting Cat6 from my cable modem to the WAN adapter on my UTM
- Cat6  from LAN port on my UTM will go to my cisco switch
- Cat6 from NIC on server will go to the same switch.
- Can I configure my other available Ethernet port on UTM for access points? If I connect access points to a separate 4 port switch and connect that switch to the WLAN port on UTM, will that  work?
- I will assign my static public IP address to the WAN port of UTM
- Primary DNS on the UTM WAN port configuration will be local IP of my server?

Am I thinking right? Please opine

Thanks

  • In both cases, disable the routing functionality.  The easiest way to do that is to disable DHCP, connect a LAN (not the WAN) port to the UTM and let the UTM do DHCP.
