subject configuring Multi-WAN setup over poe switch ???
I need some help
im getting ready to setup a Multi-WAN setup for failover isp with
my cudy 4g outdoor poe modem
but my current network/rack setup leads to a mass re-config issue because my setup an power strips (cyber power ups backups) im at my limit for power plugs an i only have run for to pieces of gear if powered by poe an that i have its were
i planed to plug-in my cudy 4g outdoor poe modem but after reading the Firewalla Feature Guide: for Multi-WAN iv hit a dilemma my current network config of voip,nas,network printer, an switches i dont have a free port direct on my FWG only two poe’s on my switch
what i want to know is is ther a way to setup a 2nd wan for isp fail-over with my cudy but with the poe port on my switch ?
the poe adapter that came with the cudy doesn’t pass the vendor or ip info of the cudy correctly to the FWG it only will if i dont use its poe adapter an plug direct to either the FWG or poe switch , but this defeats the intended outdoor use.
note
my switch is 48v output i do have a adapter that works with the cudy an does pass the vendor & ip info for the FWG to read
someone told me that quote
“You can usually set up something like this with VLAN’s on a managed switch. It looks like you are setting up a port on the Firewalla Gold as a second WAN to the cudy 4g outdoor poe modem. And you want to put a powered managed switch in-between the Gold and the cudy 4g outdoor poe modem. This can be accomplished by setting up your LAN devices on one VLAN that the managed switch knows about, and the Gold WAN port to another VLAN on the managed switch using two of the managed switch ports (as shown in your diagram).”
“The Firewalla Gold doesn’t have to know about the VLANs as you can configure ports on the managed switch to add the VLAN tag on the traffic coming from the Gold WAN port and strip the VLAN tag going out the second managed port to the cudy 4g outdoor poe modem (and the same for the LAN traffic, but a different VLAN tag so the WAN and LAN traffic are segmented from each other in the managed switch). This presumes the cudy 4g outdoor poe modem doesn’t require VLAN tag use itself.”
What i want to know is 2 things 1 is the person right an 2 whats the step by step for doing this
