[QUOTE="murankar, post: 169529, member: 274"] I got the home network lab going now. I have xenserver running 24/7 now. I 2 dns servers running, 1 web server built on a Lamp stack, I have the vm running for the mail server, I have apache running just soni can resolve to the server. Plus I think I want to build in a web interface for web mail. I also have a NAS configured on it's own vlan. This makes file transfers I tad faster because the traffic is dedicated. I dont have server traffic interfering with the storage. My switches are built and configured for base operation with remote telnet admin setup. I setup my ip pool based on a trip 255.224 mask. This gives 8 networks with 30 usable hosts. The switches are all layer 3 but only one is set to routing. My only non routable vlan of the 8 is the management vlan. I think cisco automatically blocks the Management vlan once its named management. I didn't block it. With vlans you want the management vlan unaccessabke from the outside world. The only way to gain access to it is by putting the port into that vlan and IPing the client for that network. Anyhow that's where I am at for the moment. I need to get the mail server up and running. Then I can start working on the network stuff. Oh and i still have firewall stuff to address. Not overly concerned since it's a private internal non forward facing setup. I do however have virtual nics that I can shutdown once software is installed and updated. Once those nics are down there is no outside access. This makes SSL and TLS un needed for the most part. I still need to know it but right now it's the basics. [/QUOTE]
