I'm planning a little network here and I'm not sure about one thing. Network structure is shown on the image below. ISP binds an IP to a MAC address, so if certain MAC is connected, it gets assigned certain IP and gets access to Internet. There is no need for Switch 1
and Switch 2
to be manageable.
- For this setup shown below, does
Primary switch
has to be manageable one? - Am I correct in my understanding, that in this scenario,
Primary switch
would have to clone MAC address registered with ISP, then assign IPs toRouter 1
,Router 2
andRouter 3
(for example, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4 respectively) and rest of the elements in the network can get their IPs either from the router they're connected to or from thePrimary switch
?
