Hi,

Am looking at the 3200 for providing multi tenant Internet and wondered how many vlan groups it offers? I may want to have up to 20 running through the router.

Also, how can you provide dhcp for this? Presumably the router itself will not cope with this many scopes, is there a draytek switch that will do this?

Thanks

Graham

It can do 8 VLANs with up to 4 separate IP subnets. You should probably look at the 3900 for your network instead.

Thanks for the info Voodle, I wondered why I couldn't find any info on it - it is not for sale yet it seems. Are you able to answer the following:

How many IP Subnets does it support?
Can you direct a particular VPN client connection (preferably SSL) to a particular subnet?
Can it offer DHCP for each subnet?
Can you assign one particular WAN IP to a particular subnet for all traffic?

Or would I be better off speaking to Draytek on this do you think?

Thanks

Graham

I should add that I do have another option here:

I could get a layer 3 managed switched and actually route between subnets on that. This way I should be able to have the router on say 10.0.0.0/24 and the switch serving 192.168.1, .2, .3 etc etc and routing through the 10.0.0.0/25 network. This is fine but looking around Draytek don't seem to offer layer 3 switching and NetGear are looking at around at least £1000 for a 24 port unit. I have to confess I have not used a Draytek switch before either!

Draytek Layer 2 24 port = £380 + Draytek 3900 £550 = £920
NetGear Layer 3 24 port = £1050 + Draytek 3200 £272 = £1322

I could buy a second 3900 for only a little more than the cost of a layer 3 switch approach and I have old layer 2 switches I could press into service in an emergency!

Thanks

You'd need to ask Draytek, I know that the 3900 supports more subnets but I don't know how many or whether it can do all of those things or not.

Well I'll post some of the answers I got from SEG in the UK regarding the 3900:

It can have as many VLAN's & Subnets as memory will allow it to run. They have tested with 32...
DHCP can be served to each subnet by the router.

They are not sure regarding SSL VPN but their tech team will look into it.
