Exa And Unifi Router

[2097]

A New Exa customer here which apparently is all setup ( long story but hasnt been plain sailing )

 

At the moment we are a linux based firewall and a BTfibre connection ( cisco router )

 

I have made all the changes to my setup to work with the new connection, but we have no internet at all.

 

Am i right in assuming that the Exa supplied router needs the IP address of our firewall for us to get a connection and all traffic is routed via that ?

 

 

Already adjusted the firewall interface settings and i get nothing , These ISP supplied routers dont allow me to view the configs .

Can you ping out? Eg 8.8.8.8 ?

[2097]

Nope , But managed to speak to a decent tech who gave me the answer .

 

Need to assign a specific outside IP to the Red interface which i wasnt given before .

 

all done now and tested it on a single workstation connected to the router and worked great .

 

Will be implementing it later today .

Nice one, I'm surprised they support a linux firewall.

Its usually fortinet that exa work with.

I think the way it is setup , You could use it with anything providing you have the correct details and routing setup.

 

i.e. i used a PC direct to the port without any type of firewall/switch in place.

Yep, not what I meant really, you can of course use any internet connection with it as such but they prefer to sell fortinet at exa for their filtering and wan solutions etc.
