Connecting an existing LAN to a WAN

Hi All,

I'm currently implementing an MPLS network into an area of a company but want to use their existing LAN in the company, the MPLS fibre line will terminate at the server room,

my question how i do map out what the LAN design is going to be ? do i still need to set up a LAN from the new WAN and connect it to the existing company LAN or do i just connect the company LAN directly to the new MPLS WAN

Thanks

Not sure I am completely understanding, but yes you still have a LAN.  Typically you have the local switches hitting either your own router or one from the carrier and they will distribute your site IP scheme via BGP.  Or other site will have a router as well, and their side will also distribute it's IP scheme.
