Creating new subnet with 2824

Hello,

We currently own a HP 2810, which I later discovered can't do IP Routing.

I need to create a subnet to separate servers and desktops, would the 2824 switch allow me to do this with IP routing?

We currently have an Cisco ASA5510 firewall which has multiple interface allowing up to 2 extra subnets by doing VLAN's with the 2810, but the interface max speed is 10/100.

Will adding the HP 2824 be a solution to this situation?

thanks!

Re: Creating new subnet with 2824

Hi

The 2800 Series (2824 - 2848) supports basic IP routing (between directly connected Vlans and 16 Static Routes).

But not the 2810 Series (2810-24G, 2810-48G).

Now, with the 2824 you can do the Routing Job as considering it the Routing Switch, and leave the ASA doing its firewall stuff.

Also, with the ASA you can do the routing, and regarding your concern, this can affect the performance Only if you a quite big network with many users.

Also its considered a single point of failure to let one Firewall do your LAN routing and WAN access and firewall and VPN and .....

Considering another L3 routing Switch like the 2800 or 3500, you will route your internal traffic, and only your Internet traffic (or DMZ....) will cross the ASA.

Good Luck !!!
