How many remote networks?

Kay
Hi,

the RED device is very interesting for us.

I have seen the RED device has 4 interfaces. 

Will I be able to configure each single interface to provide different networks in our branch offices?
Actually I need 2 different networks in each remote office.

Regards
Kay

    No. The Interfaces are only a Switch.

    If you like to have more than One Network behind RED, you Must use Vlans.

    How many RED devices can you have per ASG? Is is a 1 to 1 or many to 1?

    It's many to one, only limited by the processing power of the main ASG... I think you can have up to 25 or so on a 220, for example.

    Mbrophy-

    As with all sizing questions, the most accurate answer is "it depends".  As Bruce mentioned, you can connect multiple device to an ASG depending on the ASG model- but the amount of traffic flowing over the RED interfaces, and the services acting on that traffic will vary from installation to installation.  If you are pumping a lot of traffic through each RED, and performing IPS and Web Security on all of it, that will certainly exhaust resources faster than a bunch of REDs just moving point-of-sale terminal data.  Keep in mind that bandwidth may also limit you before RED or ASG limits are hit.

    Sure. I get the "it depends". 

    I was just wondering if it was a one to one ratio RED/ASG or if there were the capabilities/possibilities of more than one RED to one ASG. 

    I got my answer. Thanks.

    There's a video on youtube of some Astaro folks setting up 250 or so REDs at once.  [:)]
