Network Tiers

by sabrefreak . Updated 15 years, 7 months ago

I maintain a small-ish office (50 people) with an open policy. My bosses would like me to “tier” the system so that there is full access, email only, and no internet (for example) but that everyone can still see the server appliances.

Previously I tried doing this (with some tech advice) through the use of gpedit.msc and a bogus proxy server. It worked for a couple of days until someone discoverd that Firefox Portable (brought in a USB stick) had no difficulty beating it.

So, now, I’d like to try and do it through the router, or a series of routers if need be, although I’m certainly open to suggestions.

I have a Cisco 877 modem, a Linksys RV016 router, a host of static IPs, and some unmanaged switches.

The server appliances are a pair of Buffalo TeraStation’s.

Many thanks in advance
