A sample network
Finally, let's consider the sample network for the sample organization discussed earlier. The design assumptions are as follows:
- There are two floors in the campus. Each floor has an area for development users and nondevelopment users. Development and nondevelopment users have to be separated from each other.
- Each floor has 80-100 development users that can go up to 120 on each floor.
- Each floor has 30 nondevelopment users that can go up to 50 on each floor.
The campus design for this will look similar to the following figure:
Figure 68: Connecting multiple switches in a stack
Some of the important observations about the design are as follows:
- Stack 1 caters to the users on floor 1 and stack 2 caters to users on floor 2.
- Stack A has some ports configured in VLAN 10 for development users and VLAN 20 for nondevelopment users.
- Stack B has some ports configured in VLAN 11 for development users and VLAN 21 for nondevelopment users.
- The ports connecting to the users on stack A and B are...
