Hi All,

I'm deploying my antminers at a data center which provides me with internet via their router. 
I want to be able to monitor and manage all of them using Awesome Miner. 

What hardware do i need to make this happen - was planning to get a layer 2 Ethernet switch to connect all my miners to but am unsure of what to do next.  I know awesome miner needs VPN to remotely manage the miners but I'm not sure if a switch would allow me to set one up.
Do I have to get my own firewall/router or is there anyway I can do it only with a switch.

Do I need a specific switch? does it need to have DHCP capabilities?
