[Jim Ray pontificates] T1 comes into Adtran. They wanted to use 5 of these little D-link gateways to bust out the networks. Unfortunately, the D-link "routers" are gateway routers and not usable for public IPs. So, I'm looking for the next best alternative since their first choice failed miserably. > > or one Ethernet and > one built in T1 interface, but probably not since you mention a > CSU/DSU), and then a managed switch to break out VLANs from one of the > Ethernet interfaces on the a-fore-mentioned box. [Jim Ray pontificates] Yes, the Adtran is T1 on one side and Ethernet on the other. I'm not way way familiar with the Adtran NetVanta 3205 since, with the exception of Glaxo, EPA and Pharmacia Upjohn, all my customers are small and housed on one subnet. Apparently, the Adtran has some kind of security zone feature used in conjunction with a managed switch.
