I have a Route10 router that I purchased for use on a mobile project that will not have a WAN connection available. I chose the Route10 for its POE ports and bandwidth. I am hoping that it is possible to use it as a simple switch and possibly as a DHCP server for a local network. Is this feasible?
Yes that works. You might want to configure it in a place where you do have internet however. Also the switches are able to give a fallback dhcp when none is detected with the setting “fallback on failure” checked.
