The first stage in re-engineering the network is to put the basic lan into place. This includes the Wide Area connection, the firewall, and the back-end switch giving 1Gb/s on the LAN. I am happy with the 2MB/s connection for the primary and the 256KB/s backup connection. Unusually I’ve found the 256KB/s connection when active seems somewhat faster than the 2MB/s connection. I have no control over what routers they use as they are both provided by the various ISP. The output of these both go into a Sonicwall 5060 high-end firewall box in an active-passive arrangement. The 5060 also acts as a VPN master and Content Filter for web browsing, but that’s for another day.
The sonicwall is the first device to be connected into the new HP Procurve 1GB/s switch. The new network arrangement thus far is as follows:
