Hey everyone, I have a question to ask that I am not understanding. Lets say I have one router (R1) and two switches (S1, and S2). I have 4 vlans, VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, VLAN 50. My interface on the router has subinterfaces setup. fa0/0.10 = 10.1.10.1 (LAN) fa0.0.20 = 10.1.20.1 (VOICE) fa0/0.30 = 10.1.30.1 (SERVERS) fa0/0.50 = 10.1.50.1 (Management) For each switch S1 and S2, DO I use the command: S1(config)#interface vlan 50 S1(config-if)#ip address 10.1.50.10 255.255.255.0 S2(config)#interface vlan 50 S2(config-if)#ip address 10.1.50.11 255.255.255.0 Would that be a proper setup to be able to manage my switches through telnet, using the (Management VLAN)? or how would i setup the ip addresses to be able to telnet/ssh to each switch in my network? Thanks for all your help ** If my question is unclear, i will try to describe it best as I can. ... View more

Hey everyone, I am not too sure if this is the correct location to be posting this, but I have some questions regarding networking design. I have created a test network within Packet Tracer, which I have added as an attachment. I just wanted some pointers on how I could have changed things, just regarding the topology. My main arean of concern is with the printers, could they have been better located. I have uploaded a screen shoot, and the Packet Tracer file of my design, please let me know what you guys think. This is my first time creating a network, this helps me study for my exams, as I just finished my CCENT, and now working on CCNA. Thanks so much for your time everyone.

Hey guys, I a junior level network admin, and working on my CCNA, currently have my CCENT. So I have been doing some study with Packet Tracer, and I am at a spot where I just dont know how to fix my problem. I have a router, connected to switch, and off of that switch I have a server with DHCP. When I go to configure the DHCP withing the server it has the default serverPool for the IP addresses. My issues is when I create another pool for my VLANS, i can not get it to distribute the IP addresses from my new pool, it just hands out IP address from the default pool. For a test, i have a PC connected to port 10 on the switch, and that port is in VLAN 10. That PC receives NO Ip address, but the other PC received IP addresses from the default pool. My question I guess is how to set up DHCP, NOT in the router. but on a server, and have VLAN 10 use IP address's from my newly created pool called "Main" which start at 192.168.0.30/24. Like how to you assign pool "Main" to VLAN 10. I am not too sure if i explained it correctly. So I figured I would send my packet tracer, its just a simple design, just trying to work on my DHCP leases.                   ... View more
