additional nic for Cisco addition?

chugger93
Hi,

I currently am still running version 8, but would like to introduce a Cisco router in my network. I have an initial idea in drawing form below. I basically wanna have a Cisco lab segmented from my home network. I want the Cisco router behind the astaro. Would I be needing another NIC for this design??

Can anyone recommend a different setup?

    VLAN's are a good solution.
    You can configure your UTM interface as a VLAN interface (you must first delete the current interface so you may need to temporarily reconfigure the WAN interface so you can reach webadmin from there and then reconfigure the Internal interface).

    Once you create a VLAN interface on a physical interface, you can create additional VLAN interface to that same interface.
    Then make sure in your procurve the trunk-port has all the required VLANs (Tagged otherwise UTM isn't able to use them) and configure the rest of the ports of the procurve as required (1 for the cisco probably).

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
