Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

HP Switch stack question

Hi

2x 2920 Core switches with 2x HP Edge switches connecting

If you have a stacked pair of switches (so 2x HP Procurve 2920 connected in a ring configuration with stacking cables) - then how should trunks be configured (etherchannels for the non HP switch aware) to access switches?

If I go to the Menu CLI and it lists the ports of both switches, I assume that if I setup a trunk on ports 23 and 24 on switch 1 then I need to setup the same on switch 2.

- Do I set these up as two trunks with 2 ports from each switch contributing? (ie - Trunk 1 with ports from Switch 1 ports 21,22 and Switch 2 ports 21,22, Trunk 2 with ports from Switch 1 ports 23,24 and Trunk 2 with ports from Switch 2 ports 23,24
- Or do I set them up as four trunks? (Ie Trunk 1 with ports from Switch 1 ports 21,22, Trunk 2 with ports from Switch 1 ports 23,24, Trunk 3 with ports from Switch 2 ports 21,22, Trunk 4 with ports from Switch 2 ports 23,24)

Hopefully makes sense - I have tested it with option 1 above and fails over without issue but just wanted to confirm the best practice

Thanks

So, here is my scenario

Currently with 192.168.60.0/24 network set as VLAN200 on a switch, my router is 192.168.60.2.

Got a cisco 2960 switch as 192.168.60.1, and set with default GW 192.168.60.2

However, I need to set a new vlan for a vpn (mikrotik)

Mikrotik ip is 8.20.15.251/24

Ive created a VLAN400, as 8.20.15.0/24 and indicated the ip helper as the mikrotik. After assigning ports to that VLAN, it doesnt acquire IP, neither reach the GW (if I assign static IP to the computer). From the switch, if I try to ping the mikrotik ip, it does not respond (if I connect a computer directly on the mikrotik, I do get an IP, I can access it and even access the VPN services without problems)

Am I missing something?

thank you

Connecting 11 SG500 Switches Optimally

We have a Meraki MX400 firewall, and 11 SG500-52P Switches we are using for Access. I'd like to get something for Core or Aggregation, what kind of product do you recommend? Would we benefit from having a 3850 or something along the those lines to serve as the distribution or L3 switch? Should we create stacks for the 11 SG500-52Ps?

Thank you in advance.

Devices:
Google Home,
Aruba IAP-305 (RW)
NordVPN

I am trying to set up a VPN for my Google Home so it will register as being in the US. I am currently in Ireland and have purchased a subscription to NordVPN. From what I understand, a VPN cannot be put on the actual Google Home device.

I currently make a lot of calls to the US. Google Home offers free calls in the US but is not available here in Ireland. This is one of the main things I want to get from my Google Home.

If the net result of the VPN makes Google Home look like its in the US, I do not want the rest of my tech devices to think they are in that location, i.e all of my other tech devices have locations in Ireland.

Regards,
Robbie

vlans number

I am trying to see what the best way to assign vlans to my subnets. The below is what I was planning for with the 3rd octet as the vlan#:
- vlan 8 - 10.10.8.0/22 (10.10.8.1 - 10.10.11.254)
- vlan 18 - 10.10.12.0/22 (10.10.12.1 - 10.10.15.254)

But now we are breaking 10.10.8.0/22 to the below. Any tips on assigning the vlan #?
vlan8 - 10.10.8.0/28
vlan? - 10.10.8.16/28
vlan? - 10.10.8.32/27
vlan? - 10.10.8.64/26

F5 - Setting up exchange email

Hi There,

I have a requirement to forward all inbound and outbound for SMTP 25 (TLS) email to Symantec message lab. This question is mixture of architecture and applying the right solution on F5.The requirement is to setup a VIP on F5. My understanding is that the Traffic will be forwarded to our location, through our edge firewall (and NAT'd - public IP to private) to a private F5 VIP IP (with backend Exchange mail edge servers in a pool). Additionally, we need to have our egress mail traffic (that is sourced from the edge pool members) reverse-proxy back through the same VIP IP address (currently used for ingress traffic).

We have internal and external F5s. Would the above scenario be best done on the LTM that's facing external? Also, do I need any iRules on F5? Do you need specific natting on the F5s or just leave it as default.

Regards
Sam

Gigabit netowrk upgrade design

Need some advice. Upgrading my 10/100 network with about 50 device connections, to Gigabit and running new Cat6 Cabling. It is a 2 story building, with all the connected devices on the 1st floor and the server room in the basement. I was thinking of installing a switch and patch panel, centrally on the first floor and running a fiber trunk to the basement switch. Does this sound reasonable? Suggestions on switches and design?

Spanning Tree MST Topology / excessive changes

Debug info attached

I have configured a HP Procurve 3500 YL with the following Spanning Tree config:

spanning-tree
spanning-tree instance 2 vlan 109-285
spanning-tree instance 2 priority 0
spanning-tree priority 0

This config works well on other switches on our WAN. However, in this instance (only this switch), the topology count changes several times a minute. I believe it has something to do with ports 19 and 23. Each is configured with a single vlan and are directly connected to a Cisco 2960 switch. All others ports are connected to HP Aruba switches.

Ideas?

Does Solarwinds also discover your PC's?

hi guys

I've installed a trial version of the network performance monitor from Solarwinds. However, it only discovered printers and switches/routers.

Can it discover PC's? Or do you need agents installed on them for it to discover those?

Israel Internet

I'm at a client which has an Internet feed from their Israel office which egresses in NYC. Nobody seems to know why it was put in that way. Might any experts on here with middle east experience know why you might want to egress on the other side of the Atlantic rather than just using a local ISP? Or at least Europe? Security issue? Tax issue? Something else??
