10G/Multi-Gigabit Dual WAN Pro Router Model PR60X
Routing with failover and VLAN networks
You can use the router with failover functionality in a business network that gives users
high-speed access to network devices and the Internet.
The following figure shows a router functioning in a small business network with a dual
WAN failover connection to two modems, each one connected to the Internet over a
separate ISP connection. If one WAN connection goes down (for example, the ISP
connection goes down), the router remains connected to the Internet through the
second WAN connection.
If NETGEAR Insight is enabled, you can use the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app to
manage your network.
A switch (model MS324TXUP) is connected to the router. This model supports high-speed
Ethernet and fiber connections and can supply PoE++ power to connected devices.
Both the router and the switch can support multiple VLANs, each with their own DHCP
server. In this use case, the network includes three VLANs:
• VLAN 10: Finance network
• VLAN 20: Marketing and Sales network
• VLAN 30: Management network. The following devices are connected to this network:
-
WAX620 access point, which receives PoE+ power from the switch
-
VoIP conference phone, which receives PoE+ power from the switch
-
PTZ camera, which receives PoE+ power from the switch
-
Server with a regular Ethernet connection to the switch
Depending on the security settings that you configure on the router, each VLAN can
function as a separate network in the larger entity of the business network.
