We have a T1 that is being installed next week and I am trying to understand how I get the T1 terminated and integrated with our existing firewall. All the provider solutions include some type of router with the equipment that they offered. The router functionality of T1 equipment will just get in the way of our current dual port Zywall. We have several Zywall in various offices and want to continue to used them as the backbone of our WAN interfaces. (WAN failover, DMZ, VPNs, etc.)
I need the Zywall to manage all the public IPs provided by the T1. In DSL world, I would put the modem in bridge mode. In cable modem world, bridge mode is the default. How do I do this with a T1?
We have a Cisco 2600 with a T1 interface that is not being used. Is it possible to put the 2600 in "bridge mode" so that the ZyWall manages the public IPs? Or, is there such a thing as a T1 modem that has a input for T1 and a Ethernet interface output?
Thanks so much,
David
