DHCP On BR200
Hello,
I would like to know if my Firewall / VPN Rooter, would be able in its DHCP service, to indicate the gateway, and the DNS that my clients of a network will use. Because currently in the DHCP ...
Yes, maybe YOU do not see it written that way, but I sure did. It sounded to me in the beginning of the "LAN" chapter in the manula, that for each LAN interface you could specify a different DNS server (I was never interested in different gateways, that was just something the thread opener threw into the discussion). And then I found this thread and was confused.
Anyways, If anyone knows a small-ish router that can serve out different DNS servers on different subnets/LAN interfaces, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi all!!,
this was not what i expected when a bought the BR200... I wanted to be able to manage my device via Insights and few options are just plain missing (unless there is dirt in my eyes :-) ). I wanted to create a second VLAN with tag #2 and it wouldn't let me and didn't raise a flag why... Secondly, I wanted to create IP resevervations on a DHCP server and there was no option to do so, I also wanted to manually give a DNS option per VLAN because the DNS is inside one of the VLAN's and securly separated from each other. So one VLAN can inherit the WAN DNS and the other VLAN contains its own (because of a AD server). After wandering arround i found the local GUI for the device and found that VLAN 2 is used for the WAN connection... it could've been handy that the Insight GIU gave a hint about this... Also found a way to create the reservations. I came from a Cisco environement and was convinced by someone to try Netgear but somewhat disapointed... For now... this is (IMHO) all fixable in future realeases but for now... i'm not entirly convinced... Carpe Diem friends
