Hey everyone, I need help with something I am not sure if I have done this right.
Ok so we have a small network. With Printers, wi-fi, agents, supervisors, and all.
To break down the IPs needed I listed the devices or total number of IP addresses each Department (VLAN) needs, which is as follows:
10.0.0.0/24 is my private address. So from lets say FA0/1 on the router will have the first subnet following. For instance 10.0.0.1 /30.
10.0.0.0 - 3 /30 for the link from my Router to switch. (2 IPs needed)
10.0.0.4 - 11 /29 for the Management department (6 IPs needed)
10.0.0.12 - 19 /29 for the IT Department (6 IPs needed)
10.0.0.20 - 27 /29 for the Printers ( 6 IPs needed)
10.0.0.28 - 43 /28 for the Servers (10 IPs needed)
10.0.0.44 - 59 /28 for the Supervisors (10 IPs needed)
10.0.0.60 - 123 /26 for the Wi-Fi (50 IPs needed)
10.0.0.124 - 251 /25 for the Agents (100 IPs needed)
VLANS Setup
VLAN10 (Agents)
VLAN20 (Supervisors)
VLAN30 (Mgt)
VLAN40 (IT Dept)
VLAN50 (Servers)
VLAN60 (Wi-Fi)
How do I set this up so that the VLANS can get to the R1 FA0/1 interface which is technically on a different network. It would be in the 10.0.0.0 network.
My main question is, did I subnet this correctly?
Logically speaking, I would put a switch inside each department which would be connected to the main L3 Switch.
So lets say that S1 is in the IT lab. I would run a cable from port 1 on S1 to lets say port 12 on the L3 Switch. Then on the L3 switch I would configure port 12 as VLAN40? Is that correct.
IF so,
What DHCP Settings would I configure for VLAN40 as the default gateway, would it be 10.0.0.1 or would it be an IP address from the IT Subnet. For example 10.0.0.13? because up above IT Dept is in the 10.0.0.12 - 19 range.
