Cisco VLAN’s for a School environment
LockedWe are currently running a completly flat network and planning on implementing VLAN’s this summer. We plan on starting out with 2 (maybe 3) vlans at our main high school (which currently is the network 172.17.0.0/16). One vlan will be for students and one for teachers/administration. We currently have one 2003 server at that site providing dhcp/dns/antivirus/wsus updates. What I would like to accomplish is have the students only be able to access devices in their vlan with the exception of the Internet via our firewall at the district office and a sql server at the district office(sql server access only needs to be http and https: to check their grades)and of course both vlan’s need to be able to access the dhcp server/antivirus/wsus/dns server. We do not want want them to access the teachers vlan or any other devices in the wan. The teachers need to be able to access their vlan, student vlan (at least the student file server and printers), but not access any other devices in network except the same as students – the internet and SQL server (database access and http/https). We have all cisco switches and a cisco router at the high school and district office. I am fairly new to the cisco world and networking. I am prettly literate in desktop support and Windows dhcp,dns,A.D.,etc. but detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.
