    ZyXEL USG40 Next-Gen Unified Security Gateway-Performance Series Reviewed

    I've recently tested two devices, both of which are solid. If you're looking for a UTM device with a full range of security features, the USG40 is a good small network solution. If you're looking for a firewall/router with VPN capability, Linksys' LRT214/LRT224 is a good small network...

    IPv6 Routing

    IPv6 By definition, the default gateway must be in the subnet. The default gateway is the "gateway" for hosts to exit the subnet. What is the make and model of your L3 switch?

    ZyXEL USG40 Next-Gen Unified Security Gateway-Performance Series Reviewed

    USG40 Every UTM I've tested takes more effort to configure than a typical firewall/router, simply due to all the options. You can configure the USG40 to filter traffic automatically, create log messages, and/or send notifications. It's up to you. I haven't used the USG40 extensively...

    IPv6 Routing

    IPv6 Try the following. I'm interested to see how it works for you. Make sure you have a default route on your Layer 3 swtich as follows: ip route ::/0 2607:fcd0:100:1b00::1 Your Layer 3 Switch's outside VLAN interface should be: Address = 2607:fcd0:100:1b00::2/64 Configure your...

    Problems using VLAN tags

    Papahoward - I tried your scenario with multiple different configurations in my lab and couldn't get multiple SSIDs on separate VLANs to work without a router that supports tagging. If you got it working, I'm curious what you did. If you didn't get it working, the best solution is to...

    How To Improve Network Performance Series

    Modem choice There isn't much to review on basic DSL or Cable modems other than throughput. The modem is only bridging at layer 2, either from DSL to Ethernet or from Cable to Ethernet. A simple test of your modem is directly connect a PC to the modem and run a speed test at speedtest.net...

    Reviews. More In-Depth on the IPSEC side

    Thank you for your comments! If I understand correctly, you are interested in seeing test results for certificate-based authenticated IPSec tunnels. I have used pre-shared-key authentication for IPSec tunnels in my tests. Not all routers support certificate-based authentication for IPSec...

    VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

    Option 2 cont... Statically configure one device in VLANs 11-14 with IP addresses, give them the SG300's appropriate VLAN IP as their gateway, and give them DNS IP address(es) such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. For example, a device in VLAN 11 will have an IP = 192.168.11.x and a gateway IP =...

    VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

    Phibertron - Option 2: If you still want to go with L3 mode, you can do it with manual configs. (The below is a detailed method that illustrates all the paths to setup.) Router configs: The router is 192.168.10.1. The router needs the following static routes = 192.168.11.0...

    VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

    Phibertron - Here are two options: Option 1: Disable L3 mode and follow Example 4 in my latest article. This will provide simple VLAN separation. As discussed in my article, you can create more than two VLANs. All devices will be on the same subnet, which may be an advantage, as you...

    Netgear m4100-D12G inter vlan access

    A couple things to check. 1. Enable IP routing on the switch via Routing-IP-Basic-IP Configuration. Make sure Routing Mode = Enable. 2. Check your M4100's route table via Routing-Routing table. You should see a route table showing the following: ⦁ A static default route of 0.0.0.0/0...

    How To Improve Network Performance Series

    Once the modem is in bridge mode, it is likely no longer be accessible, unless you factory reset it. That is the intent. A modem in bridge mode bridges your ISP connection to your router. Your router now fully controls your network. You should be able to access your router at 192.168.2.1.

    Fluke Networks LinkSprinter Review

    To Trunolimit – Thanks for your questions. Based on my testing, the Linksprinter will tell you the VLAN ID of the native VLAN on the port you connect the device. Switch information, if detected by LLDP, will be provided. A DHCP server isn’t required for either of these functions. If...

    Fluke Networks LinkSprinter Review

    LinkSprinter Thank you RocketTech for taking the time to post your comments! You are correct; LinkSprinter includes 10 tests per month for free forever. I should have included that fact in my review, so thank you again for pointing it out. The point I intended to convey in my review is it...

    VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

    A General port is unique as it can be an untagged member of two or more VLANs, whereas an Access and Trunk port can only be an untagged member of one VLAN. A possible application is to make a port on a switch a General port and to make it an untagged member of two VLANs. Connect this port to...
