Using wireless router and VDSL wireless router with the UTM

Levent HIZBUL

Hi,

I am little bit new in UTM and want use/setup Sophos UTM home edition on my network, my configuration is;

1- Just setup a PC with i3-4330, 4GB DDR3 ram, 60GB SSD and HP NC364T 4 port NIC

I have installed sophos UTM Home edition with license and I have;

2- One ADSL/VDSl router with WLan (asus DSL-N17U) for dhcp server and internet/WLan

default gateway 192.168.1.1

3- One router (behind above router) act as AP/Switch (asus RT-AC56U) which has dual WLan for guest network.

So, with this configuration how should I setup Sophos UTM home and cable connections?

Thanks in advance.

 

DSL-N17U router--->16port switch--->Inernet/LAN--->to other room RT-AC56U WLan router--->internet/LAN/WLan

...then UTM (with 4 port NIC) ?

    Hi Levent,

    The setup will be simple, use eth1 with Type: Ethernet and select the Dynamic IP option and connect the modem. Connect the Switch on eth0 on LAN, do not check IPv4 Default Gateway option.

    Next, you need a Masquerading rule a Fw-rule to get started. Check out the pocket guides for more information on Sophos UTM.

    Hope that help.

    Hi Sachin,

    Thank you for your fast reply but as I'm novice user, if I'm not bother you, please could you be more clear about connections and settings;

    e.g. if I connect the eth0 to router/switch, then "use eth1 with Type: Ethernet and select the Dynamic IP option" where the eht1 goes to?

    and should I disable DHCP server on the router side?

    sorry, maybe this is a simple question for you, hope I don't spend your time :)

    Thanks.

    Hi, Levent, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    You would connect eth1 to your modem.  It's preferred to have the modem in bridge mode so that the UTM gets a public IP on the External interface.

    It's also preferable to have your ASUS AP bridged so that you don't double-NAT the clients.  You will want to create VLAN interfaces on eth0 to keep the Guest wireless separate.

    Cheers - Bob
