Hi Guys,

If anyone can find the time to check the network layout attached with this would be much appreciated. This design is regarding a new redundant DC being built (hypathectically only) but i need to know if i've connected this in the right way/ if its possible with the equipment listed.

Here is the equipment being used

Core/Aggregation Switches: WS-C6506-E x2

Access switches:  WS-C4948-10GE-S x3

Terminal server: CISCO2811-16TS x1

WAN FireWalls: ASA5540-BUN-K9 x2

Appreciate any and all feedback and aplologies for my lack of knowledge here

Paul
