Network Topology Question
I have an unusual network topology and have recently started having recurring issues. My cloud access begins with an AT&T gateway/router [Arris BGW210-700 (fiber)] configured as a router with NO pass...
Internet -> AT&T Gateway using IP passthru to RAX router -> RAX30 -> switch(es) -> R7000[AP] ->
Use the IP pass thru to help with and avoid double NAT issues since the ATT gateway can't be fully bridged to the RAX router.
1 - What is the most stable firmware version for both the RAX30 and the R7000? Most current.
2 - If I place the R7000 in AP mode will it automatically configure to use the RAX30 as the DHCP server or would I need to turn off DHCP on the R7000? I recommend setting a static IP address on the R7000 to 192.168.1.70. Set the Default DHCP IP address pool range to .100 to .200. And does turning it off automatically fall back to the RAX30 if it is in the desired topology? NO
3 - Is IP Passthrough on the AT&T gateway a good idea or should I just continue using it with NAT configured? Yes. Helps avoid double NAT issues and DNS issues.
4 - Does the RAX30 support DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS or DNSCrypt? I have not found any place to turn on HTTPS, TLS or Crypt. No. all that's done with in supporting web browsers.
