Use PR60X for firewall

Dear Netgear Support Team,

Hello,

I need to set up a small-scale network and would like to use your networking devices for this purpose. I am reaching out to confirm whether the following configuration will function as expected.

Requirements

  • Internet connection (ISP): 10G
  • High-speed computers: Connected via 10G
  • Low-speed computers: Connected via 1G

Proposed Configuration

  • ISP 10G: Provided separately on our side
  • Firewall (PR60X): Manages security, relays the ISP’s 10G connection, and provides DHCP functionality
  • 10G Switch (XS512EM): Connected to the firewall via 10G, providing a 10G network for high-speed computers
  • 1G Switch (GS724Tv6): Connected to the 10G switch (XS512EM) and provides a 1G network for low-speed computers

 

Would this setup, using your products, achieve the desired functionality?
I would appreciate your review and feedback.

Thank you.

 

  • The network setup will work fine and speed should be good.

    PR60X has firewall and traffic rule support, but it is not UTM or NGFW, if you need comprehensive security solution, PR60X is not currently supporting it.
