basically as the title suggests im going to be sticking some network gear in some pretty harsh/isolated environments, and i am trying to get the following features out of ONE Piece of hardware, I might settle for two (router + managed switch) .
- Need Cellular with DUAL SIM (ATT/VERIZON)
- Need VLAN support (obviously)
- Need multiple DHCP Scopes support
- Need VPN Support (IPSec, OVPN, GRE would be nice!)
- Need an option for an ETHERNET WAN Port
- Would LIKE to have 8 LAN ports (this can be deleted if needed and just add a switch + trunk to my purchase)
We already use cradlepoint but we only deploy it in an IP Passthrough type scenario to a meraki mx gateway, i know it has a ton of features, but i haven't really dug deep into the CP yet.
Solutions im currently looking at:
- Cradlepoint COR IBR900 + Managed switch, this would probably be my go to, but i havent had to use any of the networking features of the cradlepoint yet, strictly IP Passthrough, would love input on this side!
- C819HG-LTE-MNA-K9 + Managed switch, this looks good, but has anyone had much experience with using a firewall on these ? i currently deploy ISR4331's but just strictly as ROUTERS. Would love some real world input on securing these from a cellular perspective (with a dedicated static public ip address)
- MOXA OnCell G3470A-LTE Series + Managed switch, Ive used moxa in some industrial spaces strictly as routers, would love some real world feedback if any exists on this sub reddit ?
- God i would love for a rugged meraki with cellular built in so i could just deploy AutoVPN and be done, does anyone know if there is a roadmap for rugged?
I am open to any and all suggestions, thanks for the input ahead of time!.
-DR
