VLANs and Subnets

September 18, 2018 18:54

Hi,

So I have a different home setup. An Asus AC3100 router in bridge mode connecting to my ISP router. The AC3100 hosts my wireless network only and 3 mesh nodes. Below the AC3100 I have an AC828 with multiple VLANs for wired clients, a server, NAS, etc. I am wondering if Firewalla would work in a VLAN & Subnet environment?

Firewalla

Firewalla is a network layer device. It is not VLAN aware, and only can be applied to a specific network subnet. For example, if you have 2 VLAN, and each with their own IP network, then two Firewalla is needed. At the moment, Firewalla can not be attached to a trunk port, only access port.

Feature request? Need all that extra CPU to process all those packets...

Would be nice to have a solution to implement for multiple segments.

New LattePanda came out. Could be a good use case for all that CPU. Steep ticket for it though.

Firewalla

This depend on how you want connect. If you want to plug firewalla into a VLAN trunking port, then it will not work, it is too costly for us to store information from multiple networks. This is a consumer / SOHO / small business device, so majority of our customers likely don't understand what a trunking port is. For such situations, we do recommend couple boxes, may be the red for voice and the blue for everything else.

Will we support VLAN's in the future, not sure yet.
