MOUNTAIN SKY VLAN 3 DETAILS
- it will be considered that VLAN3 - VLAN48 are for curriculum
network computers, but we will consider all these VLANs as a major VLAN3
just for to be easy to understand our VLAN structure; so for each room we
have one subnet and one VLAN, so that room 1001 has VLAN3, room 1002 has
VLAN4 and so on until portable classroom P6 that has VLAN48; all subnets
are implemented on Mountain Sky's Router using subinterfaces of the main
interface Ethernet 2
- so VLAN3 is used curriculum network computers (students'
computers) and also curriculum network DHCP server (since all those
computers will need an IP address, moving DHCP server to VLAN1 will cause
high-delays on our network because all those computers will connect at a
time for their dynamic IP address; so keeping DHCP server as close as
possible to curriculum network computers is a benefit for our network in
terms of speed)
- VLAN 3 is used to logically separate curriculum network computers from
VLAN1 (enterprise and administrative servers) and VLAN2 (teachers and
staff network computers); this is done for security purposes
- since curriculum computers are located all over the Mountain Sky School
we have to implement VLAN3 on MDF Switch, IDF1 Switch, IDF2 Switch
- for VLAN3 we will assign the following ports on the above
mentioned switches:
- on MDF Switch we assign 20 ports (29 to 48) but
for now we will use only 13 ports (from which one port (port 41) will be
used to connect VLAN3 to School's Router, and one port (port 40) will be
used to connect DHCP server); the rest of the ports are reserved for a
future expansion of Mountain Sky's Curriculum network
- on IDF1 Switch we assign 24 ports (25 to 48)
and we will use all of them to connect curriculum network computers to
VLAN3 (for a future expansion we would have to buy one more switch)
- on IDF2 Switch we assign 24 ports (25 to 48)
but for now we will use 11 ports; the rest of them are reserved for a
future expansion of Mountain Sky's Curriculum network
