netadmin Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 I am trying to implement VLANs on our campus network and have a few questions. Our network currently consists of four wiring panels (each has a D-Link DGS-1224TP switch) which all connect back to a DGS-1224TP switch in the server room through the SFP fiber connections. The present DHCP server is a virtual Windows Server 2008 R2 standard instance running on Hyper-V. The present router is a Sonicwall NSA 240. I am wanting to create the following VLANs: #1 VLAN for wired desktops, printers, projectors (this VLAN would have access to the internet and all devices in that VLAN) #2 VLAN for VOIP phones (this VLAN would have access to the internet and all devices in that VLAN). These would be tagged to VLAN#2 based on the switch port. I am also planning on implementing a Ruckus wireless network across the campus soon. Once that is installed, I plan to have two SSIDs: #1 SSID for student/staff laptops (access to only the internet) #2 SSID for IT staff (access to all devices in VLAN #1 for wired desktops + access to all devices in IT staff wireless SSID + access to internet) On to my questions: 1. Can I configure the Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP server to provide addresses to the two different VLANs, using different address ranges? My plan was to add one NIC to the DHCP server for each VLAN. Would that work? 2. When I implement the Ruckus system, will it be possible to have the IT staff SSID link to the VLAN #1 (wired desktops) and get the DHCP IP address from that VLAN, but have the student/staff SSID link to its own VLAN (this would be VLAN #3) and get its DHCP IP address from a third scope on the DHCP server? I appreciate any guidance and suggestions you may be able to provide on this.
