Hi !!
We need to design and install a network. Below are the details of Network.
Internet link of 200 Mbps in OFC. And there will be around 300 users under the network architechture.
Devices Required;
1. Firewall - Here we will do NAT overloading and Static/Default routing.
2. Router - For routing
3. L3 Switch for Intervlan routing.
4. L2 Switch for Access Switch.
Network Diagram;
Internet-->Firewall-->Router-->L3 Switch-->L2 Switch-->Users
Connection between L3 Switch and L2 Switch will contain two OFC links. Here we will require etherchannel.
Also what I think is that we don't require Router I guess. Please put light on this.
Here can you please suggests which devices will good fit for my network;
Firewall - ASA Series
Router - ISR 4000 Series
L3 Switch - Please suggest one
L2 Switch - Catalyst 2960 Series

Hello,
for the Inter-Vlan routing you can use either the L3 switch or the router, both seem overkill. What is your budget ?

Hi !!
Thanks for you valuable feed !!
Because budget is tight we are going with the following;
1. Firewall - ASA 5516-X (without Firepower)
2. L3 Switch - C3850
3. L2 Switch - C2960
A few questions I would like to ask
Is ASA without Firepower is good move.
For L3 Switch, we need 4 to 6 SFP Ports with 24 ethernet ports as we will connect with OFC and Cat6. Please suggest a model. I can't find one
For C2960 which model you suggest with low cost.
