RE: Network Design Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



one area of concern I see is the network addressing scheme. if you are using
10.0.1.0 network addressing with a standard subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, then
the networks of 10.0.1.0 and 10.0.2.0 are going to be seen as both on the
same local subnet and no routing will occur. How is the 10.0.2.0 network
connected to yours?

We are switching vendors and our network topology just got a bit more
complex. Previously we used a fairly standard edge firewall
configuration. Internal was 192.168, external was public IPs, easy.

Now, we have a cisco IAD carrying traffic from several different
sources and I'm not sure how to set everything up.

Source #1 - Public IPs. We publish several services to the public
internet.
Source #2 - Static(?) VPN/Remote, 10.0.2.x. (Another site with a
cisco IAD)
Source #3 - Internal/Private subnet 10.0.1.x (the default internal
subnet)

I plugged in a laptop to the internal, and traffic is being routed
automagically between the 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 subnets. I assume via
static routes in the IADs.

Both of the 10.0 networks should be considered internal/private.

I'm not sure where to start. In the old scheme there was physical
seperation of the networks. Only traffic allowed via ISA passed
between them. Now I have 3 different subnets on the same switch.

I assume the outbound route will have to hit the 10.0.1 gateway
otherwise traffic destined for 10.0.2 won't fly.

Do I still need multiple nics? (Seems kind of pointless now that all
traffic is coming through the same wire)
Should I create a new "real" internal subnet, then map the 10.0.1/2 to
it?
Should all traffic go through the 10.0.1.x gateway now?
Can I statically assign the 10.0.2.x computers so they will use our
internal DNS?

I looked at the VPN settings in ISA. The 10.0.2.x subnet is
technically a VPN, but it's already routed into the 10.0.1.x space, so
I'm not sure that ISA will see it as a VPN -- I'm thinking more along
the lines of a 2nd local subnet.

The picture of how this works isn't too bad, the nitty gritty details
is what's tripping me up.

Can somebody kick me in the right direction?
