Curious on best practice for network design of a relatively small network of
60 users, 5 printers, 3 servers, one storage arrray, one firewall to the
internet...

I'm wondering if I split up into 2 subnets just to break it up a bit.

I'm thinking two switches for the SAN that connects to servers on the backend.

Then two switches (1 for each subnet) that would connect to all servers
Then 2 user switches that would connect users in each sub net..

Is it over kill?? Or am I on the right track.. It's building a network
from scratch..

What is best practice for private internal IP address scheme..

Thanks.
