Hi there
I've inherited a LAN comprised of many /24 subnets that are mashed into one huge collision domain using a /16 subnet mask. As you can imagine, broadcast traffic is crippling the LAN, and the core switch CPU is running at 85-100 percent utilisation.
I'm looking for a text on best practice LAN design. We're a 3Com site, but I'm not looking for detail on how to do the switch configs, more a higher level design guide on best practice using proper routed /24 subnets and VLANs.
Can anyone recommend a book or online resource to help me redesign our LAN?
