good day guys,
I need your hints to create a correct network topology.
what I have ? three cisco devices:
1. router 877W (with POTS internet access)
2. switch SG-500
3. Access Point Aironet 2602i
what I expect:
a) to have 4 VLANs on my switch (home, monitor, dmz, guests)
b) to have two ssids defined on my AP2602 with different ip address networks (home and guests)
the issues:
1. AP 2602i is powered from SG-500 (over PoE) so it must be connected directly to SG-500
2. SG-500 has got no DHCP server, so all DHCP servers are defined within 877W router. otherwords all devices connected to switch should ask 877W router for IP addresses
3. I am going to shut down all wireless functionality in my 877W router.
4. 4 VLANs should communicate with themselves within SG-500 switch (cause there is a 1000Mb port functionality) without router (only 100Mb port functionality)
I spent several evenings trying to find correct solution for my network, but the longer I go the worse feelings I get.
so guys, could you start with the basic stuff:
how would you create a topology ?
how many VLANS do I need ? (4 VLANS + 1 for router ?)
how to connect a router with a switch (a special dedicated VLAN ?), if so acccess/trunk ports on both ?
many thanks
