SG-2100 and AT&T U-VERSE Pace 5268AC Gateway
-
I am looking at the SG-2100. Is it compatible with the ATT Pace 5268AC? I have been using a Cisco ASA5505

Depends on what you mean by compatible.
My setup:
Internet -> Pace 5268AC -> pfSense -> home network.
I get 1 Gb speeds, the Pace gives pfSense the outside address and forwards all traffic to pfSense. -
@andyrh are you using a Netgate gateway? Which model? I am having a hardware issue with my new Fortinet in this configuration and it seems to be a hardware switch issue on the Fortinet.

I am using an gen 1 i3 with a 4 port Intel NIC.

All the Netgate appliances will work with the ATT 5268AC. If your Fortinet has left you with a desire to avoid firewall appliances that have integrated switches, then just take a look at the specs of all the netgate appliances at shop.netgate.com and find one that does not have an integrated switch. Most do though. The SG-5100 doesn't. All six ports of it are independent NICs. On the 3100, two ports are independent and the other 4 are part of an integrated switch. I'm currently using a SG-5100 with a ATT Pace 5268AC, no problems. I have the 5268AC place the 5100 in a DMZ so the 5100 will get a public IP on its WAN interface.

@gfeiner I need to port forward to an inside computer. does that work well? As in uncomplicated?
thanks for responding.

I set my Pace to forward everything to the psSense firewall, then normal firewall rules on pfSense to port forward to the inside. pfSense is in the DMZ with the outside address. I have not had any issues.
