VLAN (packet tracer)

[Shuffle]

Hey, I need some help with my topology. It's a hospital topology, 2 main buildings, and 1 aux building. There are 2 VLANs, VLAN 20 (Staff) and VLAN 30 (Patients/Visitors), I've followed the steps given to me by my school to set the VLAN up but I'm not entirely sure if I've done it right. The PCs in the topology are all for Staff and therefore in VLAN 20, and the access points and phones should be in VLAN 30. I'm also trying to connect the Staff server to VLAN 20 and the Patients/Visitors' server to VLAN 30 but the PCs or phones are not getting the IPs from the servers. I have provided the pkt file, any help is appreciated.

Hello,

is this subnetting table all the information you have been given ? It is difficult to figure out what your addressing is supposed to look like with just that one table. Are Router & Server supposed to be in a separate Vlan ? Post the entire project requirements if you have those...

[Shuffle]

Well this is the addressing table provided, but it can be changed I'm fairly certain, but I'm not sure where to start. Oh, it just occurred to me, do I need to configure the server's IP addresses to be in the VLAN?

Hello,

that is useful information. The servers and the router need to be in a separate subnet.

I made some changes to your configuration:

--> added subinterfaces for each Vlan on the router

--> added IP helper addresses on the subinterfaces pointing to the DHCP server for each Vlan

--> changed the interface between the switch and the router to a trunk

--> revised the DHCP pools

Attached the working, revised file...

Just wondering how do I download the file. Because when I do it, the pkt is blank. Also, don't want to be a pain but could you possibly explain how you fixed my topology? Because I would like to understand for further assignments and because I'm required to write a reflection.

1. in both DHCP pools you configured gateway as 128.1.6.1. this need to be from same network of DHCP network range. and configure those gateway IPs on router as sub interfaces. (suggest to use 1 DHCP server with 2 pools for different networks VLAN 10 and 20)

2. DHCP servers needs IP addresses from specific connected VLANs
