I am new on the job, about 8 months, and new to the SOPHOS devices. The question I have is understanding the role of the Interfaces and Routing on the UTM 9 and the RED 50. I have registered the RED 50 and created a successful tunnel between the RED 50 and UTM 9. After the tunnel was established, I was troubleshooting an issue with another Tech and we managed to get things out of synch. So I stated with the Admin Guide for the UTM 9 and the setup manual for the RED 50 to gain a working knowledge of the various sections involved between the UTM 9 and RED 50.
Our application for the RED 50 is a little different than the normal intended setup / use. We have an offsite location which is used for Disaster Recovery, where the RED 50 is located to provide a secure connection which we will backup daily from our main office location where the UTM 9 is located. We are not extending our network to a satellite office like most of the examples I am finding. The RED 50 is located in a different network schema than our main office also, the vendor for the site TierPoint provides this location for several companies offsite backup storage and other network equipment. TierPoint is providing us with an Internet network connection, through their network. We have been given a range of 5 IP addresses to assign to our equipment "Statically", along with their Subnet Mask, and Gateway. The following is the Network Schema for TierPoint:
(216.84.198.240/29)
Range: 216.84.198.242 through 246 to assign
RED 50 Assigned to 216.84.198.242
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: 216.84.198.241
I have attached a diagram of the network. Under RED Management > [Serve] Client Management tab in the UTM 9, we have configured the RED 50 (reds1) with UTM Hostname 50.193.171.194 (UTM 9) connection, same for 2nd Hostname, Uplink mode: Static, Address: 216.84.198.242, Netmask: /29 (255.255.255.248), Def GW: 216.84.198.241, DNS Sever: 8.8.8.8 (google).
The question is how is the Interface & Routing > Interfaces supposed to be configured? Diagram of Off Site Disaster Recovery Connection RED 50.pdf (attachment)
