Hi all

I have 7 rooms in my network, each room has 5 PCs used by 5 students working at one separate project.

There is a room center, which has 5 servers, DHCP, DNS, 2 Print Server, File Server and FTP Server.

Please see the sketch of my network:
pic1(top of the sketch) and pic2 (button of the sketch)

-----------------------
DHCP server has 8 scopes
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1

192.168.3.2 to 192.168.3.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.3.1

192.168.4.2 to 192.168.4.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.4.1

192.168.5.2 to 192.168.5.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.5.1

192.168.6.2 to 192.168.6.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.6.1

192.168.7.2 to 192.168.7.10
Default Gateway: 192.168.7.1

I defined that each PCs obtaining its IP address dynamically from DHCP Server of its scope.



I want:
1- each room to be in a single subnet. it means that there should be NO sharing and connecting between these rooms together.

2- All PCs (clients) from different subnet have access to all servers (DHCP, DNS...) and also can access to FTP Server for just downloading data.

I designed my network as you see on the pic....:
* using one switch at each room (totally 8 switches for 8 subnets)
* using one switch foe connecting all of these 8 switches together
* and a router with 9 Gateways, this router will be connected to the another router

Please let me know what do you think about these designing? is it a good design?
Is it right that I used a router with 8 Gateways defined on it? and one switch for each room?

Which router is suitable for my network?
Which switch is suitable for my network?

any idea any help appreciated

Asadi,

Putting each room in a separate scope doesn't keep computers from sharing information.

You have to configure your switch to block traffic between the scopes.

Hypothetical network design questions should be placed in the 216 or 221 forum.

yes curiousgeorge, I agree sorry,

Actually, you should do it on the router. programming a router depends on the model. Our university uses enterysis routers that have a GUI based configuration.

If i were to plan it out...
I'm goverment so we have to plan for the future and overpay a little.

2950's for the access layer(rooms). And a 5000 or 6000 for core/distr.(6509 with Sup720)

Set the core on a vtp domain (ex. class-core) and create a seperate vlan for each room and assign the vlan its own subnet. Then you can trunk the switches or make the uplink a switchport and assign it a vlan. Either way if you assign a basic access list to the vlans, allowing your server farm in and denying the rest, you will have what you are looking for.

With 2950g-12s and a 8 port gig card you can have gig link to the switches. Or spend more and get gig switches that use the Gig UTP connections.

The extra slots in the core you could use for a IDS blade or NAM.
