UTM ESX-I 5.5 and Sky Wireless Router

wozzell
Hi All,

This is my first post so please be gentle.

I have a ESX box with 3 network cards and a sky home hub.

I was planning to install sophos UTM as a VM, however i'm a little confused on the networking side of things.

Most of the devices I have at home connect via wireless on the sky router, so I'm assuming the if I disable the DHCP  UT will issue IP addresses.

Where does the two nic cabling come into affect?  

Do I need to purchase additional kit to make this work?  Ideally I would like to continue to use the DSL modem and wireless router.

Thanks,

Dan

    Hi,

    The issue here is that if you use the Sky broadband modem and the wireless on that, then you will be connected to the UTM's external interface and so the clients will not touch the UTM.  You would either need to get a UTM wireless access point, or a third-party wireless access point in order to put it on the internal network.

    The Sky router would then just be connecting the UTM to the outside world, and the clients will be on the LAN side of the UTM appliance.

    Hope this helps.
    Andrew.
