Hi all,
I have a location that shares internet with another office, I had a port based
vlan firewall that would take the pipe and split it into the switch of each
office respectively and it also allowed me to allocate X bandwidth to each lan.
Long story short, someone was rewiring something one day and caused a loop that
led one of the offices to lose internet-
Now they are demanding to have main firewall removed , and each office have
its own firewall (simple , i know, put a switch between the ISP and the two
firewalls and give each one its public ip), here is the problem , they want to
be able to have one of the people in the office (none of which are computer
savvy) have the ability easily change the allocated bandwidth on any given day -
The reason behind this is because when they have an event , or a conference
etc.. they want to be able to allocate say 15 of the 20 megs to the lan with
wifi.
And of course they dont want to have to pay any extra for me, or anyone to go
onsite and do the adjusting at each firewall.
