Hello All,
Here's the situation:
I want to use an HP 4208vl (http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ ProCurve_Switch_4200vl_Series/overview.htm) fully loaded with GigE
ports as the "core" switch in my network. I want to define multiple
port based VLANs on this switch. One VLAN would be LAN
(workstations), another would be Perimeter Network (web server/ftp
server), another would be Core infrastructure (Domain Controllers,
etc...), another VLAN for an iSCSI subnet, and a final VLAN for other
building services (Building Management, etc...). I would not allow
routing between any of the VLANs. I would have a SonicWall PRO 3060
or something similar to handle traffic filtering between VLANs.
I just want to know if this is a good idea or not and if it is common
practice. If it is not a good idea, please suggest an alternative.
Thanks,
Paul.
