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!

Network VLAN Design Help & DHCP Advice.

Asked by juckyt in Network Design & Methodology, Miscellaneous Networking, Windows 2003 Server

Experts,

This is a two part question regardling VLANs on my network. The first part asks for your comments on my network design while the second refers to questions regarding DHCP addressing for end nodes on this VLANs.

I am redesigning my network infrastructure to accomodate a variety of needs:
1)  Control and segregate networks (fobased on bandwidth usage and purpose)
2)  Isolate networks for security reasons (viral outbreak, rootkits)
3)  Streamline Voice and Data applications between internal nodes as well as between offices

In the diagram I mapped out a genereic setup of my home data center.
I've got a Juniper Firewall Natting Public IP Addresses for my internal LAN. Just behind that device is a Layer 3 switch to be used to segment traffic into mulitple VLANs for reasons stated above. I think I have this mapped out correctly except for a few key subnets

Notice how the Juniper device, the Switch and the Servers backbone all share the same subnet. The Juniper acts as the LAN gatway (192.168.15.1) while the Switch functions as a routing device between the LAN and WAN (192.168.15.2). But how about those servers? Is it wise to keep them on that same subnet? Here is where I could use your help.

Futhermore, I normally use Windows DHCP to pass out IP addressing to the local subnet. However, what's the recommended process in a situation where I've split my single network into multiple VLANS? How or where do clients get there DHCP addressing on their specific VLAN ?

Please comment and elaborate on past experiences. The more you can give me the better off I am in executing this design properly.


Thanks!
