At the moment, I haven't added the RED to the UTM yet, since I'm not use what settings I have to use.
So have a remote managable subnet behind the RED, I'll have to go with Standard/Split. But what settings are needed ip address, etc, when I go with upload mode "Static address"?
Can I enter there an ip which is in the existing local subnet, i.e. 172.16.20.254?
I'm understanding "extend an existing local subnet" as you wanting to share 172.16.20.0/24 (as an example) on both the UTM and on the RED. Clients on 172.16.20.0/24 could be connected at the UTM site or the RED site. Is this correct?
The Static/Dynamic address is for the WAN port of the RED.
My suspicion is that it'd be a bit messy managing the hosts, routes and gateways to effectively have a split bridge at the RED site - but I have no direct experience with such a config. Perhaps someone can share direct experiences with such a configuration.
Otherwise, test and share and/or engage support and share?
I used 172.16.20.200 as IP for the red interface, added a DHCP server with a range from 172.16.20.201 to 172.16.20.210, and used 172.16.20.200 as default gateway and dns-server.
The computer behind the red was able to obtain an ip from the dhcp server (172.16.20.201), but I wasn't able to ping the utm (tried to ping 172.16.20.200) or to ping the client behind the red.
