BR500 Issues and Feedback.
Been looking forward to the BR500 release for some time now and finally just procured one through Powershift Eval.
First impressions:
DHCP Servers and VLAN setup through Insight got my blood ...
Also, anyone in the community have any idea on when the firmware that allows for secondary WAN connectivity will be released? I heard by end of 2018, but also heard after the New Year. It was one of the main reasons I invested into it so I could learn it and provide it to my clients since there are tons of internet issues in this area. Pair it with an LB1120 in failover mode and boom, no more outages....
My LB1120 is scheduled for delivery today.
Now about that firmware....?
Hi Mike,
I'm thinking of buying one of these.
Do you happen to configure VLANs with port restrictions and / or do you know how easy / functional that is on this device?
Greetings,
Thorwald
VLANs are rather easy to setup but only in standalone mode at the moment. Insight kept having bugs where it wouldn't allow me to add/remove them very easy. It actually created a duplicate VLAN and then I couldn't get rid of it. Not quite sure what the deal was there.
In standalone mode, go to the "Advanced" tab and on the left Menu is a button for VLAN. Pretty easy. I'm running (4) of them without issue.
Thanks for your reply Mike!
However my question was not if it supported VLANs.
It was more if firewall rules between VLANs (with port restrictions) are easy to configure and work.
I just ask this specifically because I had some bad experiences with this in the past.
