Just following up. I've had my ERPOE5 now for about a week and am so far pleased with it. I'm running firmware 1.6.0, and the GUI is very helpful. It's very DIY though, and I spent a lot of time reading forum posts, talking to network admins, and tinkering to understand how the pieces work. I...

Could you expound on that. My understanding is that a DMZ is where you place servers you wish to expose to the internet. From that perspective the DMZ is inherently less secure than other network segments which remain isolated behind the firewall (though even the DMZ might only expose certain...

Isolating traffic is entirely my goal. I have a test lab server infrastructure that I use professionally, and I'd like to keep the regular PCs and devices away from it except for specific ports on specific servers. I host my website locally, so just for security I figured it would be a good idea...

I've decided to go with the ERPOE-5 as it will meet all my needs. I'd like to pair it with a Cisco WAP321 so I can set up a dual-band wifi to segment my guests from my internal devices. I'd also like to use the PoE features of the router with the WAP, but I've read the the ERPOE-5 uses "Passive"...

I've looked over the manual for the Netgear and it doesn't say if there is a limit the number of DHCP servers and/or VLANs you can configure with it. With just about all the other appliances I looked at (except those mentioned by System Error Message), there's been a limit. Also, in the Firewall...

Great! I've got some homework to do, it seems. Thanks for the quick call-backs. I'll probably be back to this forum a lot as I hit roadblocks.

One other requirement I have is port mirroring/SPAN. I use Security Onion for my IDS and need to mirror the WAN port for the packet capture.

I was looking at the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, specifically the ERPOE-5, which was within my price range. Am I correct in that it won't act as a gateway? In an enterprise you would separate out your GW, Firewall, and router, but since this is for the home, I unified offering would probably be best...

I'll be moving into a new house shortly and plan to run network cable throughout. Using information from this site and coworkers, I've been planning to segment my network for security reasons, and this will require 6 VLANs. The RV320 looks like a good fit, but as I started to get into the...
