With this option, we will provide you with an ethernet port hand-off from the nearest switch location. It is the vendor’s responsibility to run all the cabling for this. In the IDF locations this hand-off will only be 1gbps RJ45 port. In the location where we have our core switch, we can offer ports with 1 or 10gbps fiber hand offs. This port will offer public IP addressing. We can do static or DHCP IPv4 and at supported site we can also support IPv6. The vendor will be responsible for reaching every location they need network access. At many sites we offer access to fiber that we ran between IDF locations. We do not block or filter traffic for public IPs other than expectations listed on the rest the Knowledge Base.
Behind our NAT
With this option, your devices will be behind our NAT/firewall/dhcp. You can connect your end point devices directly to our managed switches on assigned ports. We will set up a dedicated VLAN, so all of your devices are on the same network. We can also link this VLAN with the Wi-Fi system if you wish. You will have to use the IP range/subnet we assign. Our switches may offer POE if we have the POE budget available. If you need more ports than we have available in a location, you may be asked to pay for us to install another managed switch in that location. We do not do port forwarding or open firewall rules, if you need this, please see the Public IP option.We do not allow 3rd party swtiches to be connected to our network. If you need or want to use your own managed swtiches then please use the public IP option.
