The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Office network headache

Asked by DzemoBond in Network Design & Methodology, Miscellaneous Networking, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Tags: GLBP, VLAN, Juniper

Hello Experts,

I hope someone can help me with giving some input about configuration and possible design flaws which cause our proposed new office network to lose connectivity for a few seconds (still in testing phase with only few users). What I notice is that my outgoing VPN session goes down and then re-establishes within 2-3 seconds. My Outlook and AIM client also complain by briefly loosing contact to mail/AIM servers. However, constant ping to public IP always succeeds and sees no connectivity problems during the time VPN session goes down.

Attached is diagram of future network. Here is my design (feel free to critique):

1)      WAN consists of two cable modems that perform NATing to 192.168.11.x network and DSL modem has static IP. Three (3) Cisco 1811 routers are connected to each cable/Dsl modem. 192.168.11.x is NATed to 10.10.10.x/28 for cable modems and DSL public IP is NATed to 10.10.10.x/28 as well. I configured Cisco GLBP for load-balancing and failover to Internet. (During testing phase there is only DSL and one Cable modem in the pool).  IP SLA is configured on 1811 routers and used to track reachability of WAN next hop and determine when to take a router out of GLBP pool.
2)      Juniper SSG20 inside interface is configured as Trunk routing three internal VLANs. Inside port is subinterfaced and configured as GW for all user VLANs.
3)      Cisco 3560G is configured as DHCP server for all 3 VLANs.

I realize that there are few single points of failure in the design. However, main requirement was to establish diversity and failover capability with respect to Internet connectivity.

So far, I was not able to identify reason for brief outages. I see no GLBP or physical layer issues. Is it possible that some NAT timers must be tweaked?

Any input is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Dzemo
