Re: Help setting up Two Networks

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Given that you have two threads running on this, I'd suggest that you might
want to consider forgetting the second thread and concentrate on this one -
Phillip has some excellent advice for you in this one.

This, in fact, is how we have configured our server farm - all the servers
and the Backup Exec PC are on the "gigabit backbone" on a single gigabit
switch, then that switch feeds the next switch that connects other closets
and clients via a gigabit input from the server switch with 100mbps output
to the client PCs. If your switch won't take a gigabit input then 100mbps
input from the server switch to the client switch(es) will likely suffice.

This will be a much simpler configuration to maintain, especially when Mr.
Murphy sneaks in the back door and re-tweaks your settings for you. :-)

I have been delegated the task of creating an additional network to run
parallel to our existing network. Our existing network is 10/100 and the
IP
mask 192.168.1.0. The second network is going to be 100/1000 and the
Scheme
should be dissimilar to our existing one. Our goal is to add Gb cards to
our
servers and use the second network as a backbone for our Backup Strategy.

I have an idea on how to pursue this but wanted to verify with those of
you
that have accomplished this so I could avoid any issues.
I plan to make the Second network mask 192.168.0.0. Then not configure
any
gateways with these cards. I want to avoid any DNS registrations for
these
cards and only want traffic generated from Veritas to travel over this
network.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
