I'm currently planning to set up a UTM for home use for 5 users and approximately 25 devices including 1 NAS (with 2 LAN ports, supports 802.3ad LACP) and 1 IPTV box.
Key concern is to have a minimum of 100 Mbps throughput (300 Mbps in the next 2 years) with full DPI / IPS / AV, etc enabled.
Below is the list of hardware which I am planning to purchase:
- Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Gene (Intel I219-V, Z170 Chipset)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.4 GHz (Turbo boost 4.0 GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads)
- RAM: 2x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8 GB DDR4-2400 | Total 16 GB
- HDD: Seagate 7,200 RPM Desktop HDD
- NIC: 2x Intel I350T2-V2 (dual port, I350 Ethernet Controller)
For the physical devices, I intend to connect them as follows:
- Onboard I219V -> ONT (WAN)
- NIC 1, port 1 -> Wireless router (configured as AP for internal wireless)
- NIC 1, port 2 -> NAS port 1
- NIC 2, port 1 -> NAS port 2
- NIC 2, port 2 -> 2nd wireless router (configured as AP for guest network)
- IPTV box -> 2nd wireless router
Next, my ISP delivers my internet connection via a VLAN trunk and requires the following for connectivity:
- VLAN 10 for internet
- VLAN 20 with PCP priority 4 for IPTV
Thus in view of the above, I intend to substitute 1 I350T2-V2 for a I350T4-V2 if the above physical connection is not feasible.
Thirdly, I intend to segregate the guest network from the internal network. Would VLAN do the job?
Lastly, I apologize for the long post, however I would like so seek your recommendations and opinions before I commit to build.
Thanks All in advanced
