Network Design

by eminent87 . Updated 21 years, 11 months ago

Hi,

I’m setting up a new office and would like some help with the design. This network will be entirely on Windows, all servers will be on Windows 2003 server with Active Directory, Exchange 2003 server and clients will be on either XP or 2000 pro. I’ve never designed a network before so I like so detail help if possible. The following is what I have so far. Is the following setup the most efficient way to incorporate a sonicwall and an ISA server together? The biggest problem I’m having is that the ISA server has 2 NICs, external and internal – since everything is NAT through the sonicwall, how can I give the ISA a public IP address on the external NIC while maintaining the private IP address on the internal NIC? Is it even possible to do this or do I have to turn off NAT on the sonicwall?
