So, while I think I have most of the basics, configuring the RB4011 is still a task for me.
Currently, I have my RB4011 configured as my home network DHCP server, as well as the Internet router/firewall (minimal rules).
I have a cable modem connected to port 1, which is designated as WAN in the RB4011, which then does NAT to the remaining ports (LAN).
I now have Internet service with 1.4Gbps downstream capability and a new cable modem with a single 2.5Gbps Ethernet port.
I have at least two clients with multi-gig adapters, so I also added a managed switch with 4x10Gbps ports.
Since the RB4011 only has a single SFP+ port, I envision I need to do something like this:
- CableModem -> 2.5Gbps port on switch -> 10Gbps port on switch -> RB4011 SFP+
I'd also like to keep it as the DHCP server.
I think I need to assign VLANs to do so, and probably update my RB4011 config accordingly.
Is this design sound so far? And if so, what would be the steps?
