Re: Windows 2008 IPv6

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

I always wondered how in the world it works though..

Like if I have my servers in a seperate VLAN or NETWORK.. How do the users
talk to that other network if they are in the other network?? Doing it
without a router??

The switch I have is a layer 3 switch so it is capable of routing..

I'm wondering if my authentication servers are on VLAN1 how do you get users
from VLAN2 to authenticate and use services from VLAN1..

Thanks for your help in understanding!!

Hello George,

See here about VLAN's:

If I separate servers via VLAN's how do the users get to the server
for services like authentication, file sharing, etc. They would be in
different networks..

Thanks by the way for all the answers helps in the learning process..

Hello George,

Assuming that the servers with the 4 NIC's are DC's you should avoid
this configuration. DC's should not be multihomed. If you're switches
are capable of VLAN's configure your switches to separate the servers
from the clients, etc.

It's a powerconnect 6424 switch.. which will be trucked to a 5212..
Servers are connected to the 6424..

The users are on a 5212 and 3348.. (they are located in a different
room than the servers)

The equallogic storage array is basically on it's own network. With
two 5424 dell switches..

My two servers have 4 network cards on each on them...
(two go to the storage array and two go to the 6424 switch.. So the
servers
act as the interface
between the user network and the storage network)
My address scheme currently looks like this..
USER NETWORK:

172.22.0.0 - Users/printers/database/PDC/BDC

172.22.1.1 is default gateway Watchguard Firebox x550e
172.22.2.1 - 2.4 = Dell powerconnect Switches
172.22.3.1 - 3.4 = Dell poweredge servers (1 PDC (DCHP,
DNS,
Print services), 1 BDC (Database, file sharing) other two will be
member
servers
172.22.4.1 - 4.6 = Printers
172.22.5.1 - 5.100 = Users
STORAGE NETWORK:
172.20.0.0 - Dell Equal Logic Storage Array P5000E

172.20.1.10 - Switch 1
172.20.1.11 - Switch 2
(these two switches are trunked together..)
(two ports total go to each server)
172.20.2.1 - 2.3 = Ports on Network Card..
172.20.3.1 - 3.2 = Dell Poweredge Servers (the PDC and BDC)

also I have a dell powerconnect switches.. Doesn't the switch
reduce broadcasts..

Depends on the model and if you are running in managed or unmanaged
mode. I chose what I think is one of the lower end powerconnect
switches and it said: "Broadcast Storm Control".

Check this page and select your model:

?c =ed&l=en&s=bsd&~ck=bt

Apparently, you have to "turn on" managed mode. The page says these
switches are shipped in unmanaged configuration.
