SG300-10 question

[rkcooper]

First of all, is there a document on the SG300 that explains everything in plain english?

Here is what I am trying to do...

I have a Charter Communications connection to the internet through their modem.

This modem has a static IP.

I would like to make this internet connection the source for the SG300 and all the other ports be DHCP.

I was told when I purchased it that being a layer 3 device, it would do it.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Roger, the only problem with this is the fact the switch cannot NAT, therefore this will not work unless you have a public IP from Charter for every connecting device.

So should I connect the charter modem, which is one public IP, to a router and then to the SG300?

Yes, you'd need a router that does NAT then connect the switch to that other router.
