Help With New Network Layout :)

[iphonogasm]

Hi, i have a new network layout and would love some input as for the design and also have a few small questions....

I have a ACER VTX server with 2 NIC,s setup with NIC teaming for redundancy and redundant power supplys. This is virtulizing the following.

My Setup

+ / SERVER
- / Sever WITHIN server (virtulization)
= / OPTIONS/SETTINGS wintin SERVER being virtulized

+ VTX Machine (Acer) [ 10.0.2.20 ]
- DHCP/DNS/RRAS/File/Print server [ 10.0.2.24 ]
= Scope ( 10.0.2.1 - 10.0.2.254 )
= Exclusions ( 10.0.2.1 - 10.0.2.50 )
= DNS Servers ( 10.0.2.24 )
= Router ( 10.0.2.24 )
- Mail Server [ 10.0.2.25 ]
- Web Server [ 10.0.2.26 ]
- SIP Server [ 10.0.2.27 ]

+ Domain Controller / VPN Server (RRAS) [ 10.0.2.22 ]

+ Test Server ( Maybe Linux ) [ Unknow ]

+ WAN Router [ 10.0.2.1 ]

+ WiFi Access Point [ 10.0.2.2 ]

Still to setup a VLAN for all VoIP traffic etc.

My Problems

1.) My DNS server and Domain Controller are different. I want my DNS server to be able to forward requests for joining my domain to my DOMAIN CONTROLLER instead of having to use my domain controller as my DNS server. From what i can see online (technet etc) i have to use the DC as the DNS server.

2.) With the setup above.. when a client join the network and is given DHCP via 10.0.2.24, i have my network name with INTERNET ACCESS and Unidentified Network with INTERNET ACCESS. See below pic.



3.) My Iphone.....When i am on wifi and i try to share files via an app via wifi, it appears the wifi drops out. If i ping my iphone 10.0.2.x and i get a reply...then i open an app and do a wifi share via web port 8080 i am unable to access it and then i get a timeout on ping, no response whatsoever UNTIL i RENEW my lease???? WEIRD..

Any ideas on anything above is much appreciated!

Hi man.

People tend to put DC and DNS together because of many reasons.

1) By default the DNS server points to itself for DC request, so you need to change each DC-Related record to point to your DC (_tcp, _ldap, ...) but do you really want to do that? Why?

2) what is 684a 10? and the second? I can't see anything weird there...

3) no idea. Try to ask directly on the forum for that application.

ps: best practice: do not put any other service with the DC role

Nah the 684a is just the previous wifi networks joined. It creates a new SSID each time you connect..... Deleted all in manage wireless networks...

Im working with cleaning stuff up and prioritzing traffic, using QoS and VLANs

However, how do i create VLANs for specific services etc when im virtulizing many different things on a single machine with 2 NICs??

Im struggling with NETWORK LAYOUT

 

[ICTCity]

Depends on your hypervisor... are you using vmware / xen / hyper-v?

 

[iphonogasm]

Well hyper-v as....i didnt see any advantage to using vmware or any other , hyper-v takes screenshots etc...

?

What do you mean with "hyper-v takes screenshots"?

 

[iphonogasm]

Sorry snapshots

Wow thanks !!

I think thats exactly what im after!

 

[iphonogasm]

Hi, how does this example of my VLAN layout work..

I have a router with 4 ports, does NOT support VLANs but i will just remove the routes between the ports.

This way i can setup QoS directly after the entry point of my internet.....?

what you think?

Cheers!!

NOT ACTUAL GEAR USED!

 

[ICTCity]

If the NIC on your router doesn't support VLANs than don't plug a VLAN port into a non VLAN port...
