Hello all,
I have set up a little IT/Telecommunication firm in a small building. Attach you will find the layout of the building and the topology. This company will provide VOIP services through an asterisk server I have set up and providing internet services to the offices. All this would be running through a T1 I have purchased and once the bandwidth needs it I can get a T3 or E Meteor.
I have several questions regarding the topology I have set up and am hoping you experts can give me some good feedback.
Segmenting the Offices
I am setting up a main router which you can see in the middle hallway where my office is, without DHCP services. I will only allow this router to take info from IP I set on the router. I am doing this so the offices can't steal internet as all the office will be wired for my service. Each office has its IP address and own router so that one office cant see the info of the other office.
Is this a good set up and do I protect the office and the main IT center by segmenting the network the way I mentioned above? Do you guys have a better ID to sign up the users to the network and to protect the other offices. If so please write in great detail.
Internet Usage Control
I have not yet thought of this part very well so I wanted to see your opinion. What can I do to make sure one user does not hug the internet bandwidth. Is there software that can track this and tell me this IP used this amount of bandwidth and can I take current snap shots of the network to make sure all is set up well. What are your recommendations.
Telephony
I have purchased an edge water router to control voice over data so the quality of my VOIp is clear. Is there anything else I can do to assure myself it would work well.
Data backup
I want to set up a data backup server for the offices. Any idea of good linux server software that can offer control on the data backup such as users, folder size and extra? L
I thank you for your feedback.
