Nope… My Surfboard 8611 has that (just Cable<->single ethernet port).
Cool. The models I have only bridge.
The SRX-340 provides a backup simple network (SRX LAN ->NAT->$CABLECO) in case things go wrong with the (usually more reliable multi-homed) network. (
Yeah, that's why I've been messing with Xfinity this week. I've been stalling since I moved in last year, waiting to see how long Centurylink fiber would work flawlessly enough that I didn't need a second carrier. Last year I got a hold of some cable modems, made sure I could reach the Xfinity activation service, and then I set it aside. I figured that in a pinch I could do Internet off my phone long enough to plug everything back in and get Xfinity up and running. After the glitch a couple weeks ago when Centurylink sent me bursts of other peoples' data for a day or so, I figured it was time to put a second provider back in my mix. Imagine my surprise this week when I went ahead and bought service, went back to the activation page, and it didn't work. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
