Hi guys,

We're a small IT company and this is the first time we've had to run one of these solutions.

We have a 100meg Virgin Media Leased line set up and want to use TL-SG3424P Switches to manage a number of client connections, assigning them a particular public IP and slice of bandwidth etc.

I'm not sure how to go about it with these switches but I have seen compeitiors of ours that do use them so I know it can be done.

My theory is that I program our first usable static IP in to the switche's LAN parameters, this will allow us to manage the switch remotely.

Then I enable/disable the ports on the switch as we see fit and set Bandwitdth limits for a particular port to correspond with what the client is paying for.

what i'm not sure about is assigning a public IP address to a particualr port, is this possibloe or is it just a case of managing the available IP's ourselves and the switch just manages the bandwidth?

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for your help.

Mark
