Hello all. This is the first time doing something like this, so please bear with me. I have a production network, on which I have no control, for the most part. I need to take the legacy server install which is a complete mess and mirror it in a 'devlopment/test' lan then eventually bring the new servers over into production one at a time while removing the old servers, eventually winding up with a functioning, well documnented, and secure LAN. There's more to it than that, but I'm trying to be somewhat brief.
I cannot simply set up a switch in the closet and do everything there, as frequently I work remotely. I need to have all of my new servers on their own 'private' lan so they cannot interfere with the functioning of the production servers, but I can still access them from my desktop/home/laptop for configuration. I have a 3Com Baseline 2924 SFP Plus switch available to assist in this.
I've been reading the docs that come with the switch, and checked on 3Com's site, but I do not seen anything even vaguely helpful where what I'm trying to do is concerned.
Can someone offer some suggestions, guidance or perhaps even an HOWTO?
Thanks very much.
Peace,
vtk
