GS724T with 2 DSL gateways

I have a client with 2 DSL circuits coming in. The goal is to use one for the backoffice/internal network and one for the GUEST network and access points in their restaurant. I'd like to run them both into my GS724T V4 switch but segregate them with VLANS. Is this the best way and what pitfalls do I need to look out for. I do not need any cross-VLAN communication. There is also a restaurant system that needs internet access for support but otherwise is all disconnected. My thought was, to again, setup a VLAN for the restaurant system but also include the uplink port from the GUEST DSL in it to give it the necessary internet access.

 

Does this all sound like the right approach without being too complicated?

    Hello jkeefauver, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    It is possible but you still need a router(s) for this one. You'll need NAT and a DHCP server to accommodate the clients (AP, PCs) that will be connected to the switch. 

     

    Let us know if you have more questions. 

     

    Thanks,
