Hi guys,
Hoping I can get some help on this. We got a block of static ip's from our ISP and we want a router that can manage them efficiently. I know for a fact that we don't need any of those cisco 3000 series business enterprise level models. I was wondering if any of these lower class business routers can handle the flow of traffic for multiple IP addresses?
Does anyone have a recommendation for one?
Also another problem that I think we will be encountering:
We have 2 internet lines in our office - one for the office use and the other for our customers. We had an issue as one time where our 1 internet line went down and were for out of work for over 6 hours - before 2nd line. Horrible and we didn't want to repeat that again. My boss kept using home routers and a few machines were multi-homed.
Machine setup - 2 Nics
NIC 1 - 10.0.0.x address - internal office connectivity (our dns servers)
NIC 2 - 192.168.1.x address - 2nd internet line - customer connectivity
We want to try and merge everything into one router if possible but I don't think that could be the case. If we have a business router that handles all of our IP's from one internet line will their be a conflict with our second internet line? I have never seen the setup of a small business router and I hope it is GUI and not command line.
