Hi Folks,
We are getting a new point to point link(metro ethernet) via Time Warner to start up a new 2nd office. Basically a L2 connection that I can VLAN across. I want this office to have it's own broadcast network for both their new data net and voice network so I want to subnet this new office on it's own /24 net for each(our current production network /24 net is getting pretty full) and I want to do this at the switch Level and not have a router in place.
My HQ currently has basically 2 VLANS's VLAN1 and VLAN2 (Yes I know, Im stuck with VLAN1 for the moment) Vlan1 is default, Vlan2 is for voice(Mitel 3300 system).
My Main site hase a several procurves today (2648's&24's)
My main HQ switch which is the only switch currently with ip routing enabled let's say is 10.10.70.1(for VLAN 1 interface) and 192.168.20.1 (for VLAN2)
The new switch that I am briging in for the new office location on the other side of the point 2 point link is a 2910AL-48POE. I want the two subnets at this new office to be 10.10.74.X for their Data net (default VLAN) and 10.10.75.X for voice.
I also want to have the 2 new vlans to have the same VLAN ID as their network number(74 & 75). So then my interfaces for each VLAN on the new office switch would be 10.10.74.1 and 10.10.75.1.
So what's the best way to do this? I was originally thinking that I would have to have an ip address from my current productin net on VLAN 1(10.10.70.10) on the port where the P2P comes in on the new switch(lets say port 1). I was going to have it untagged on VLAN1 for port 1 and all other ports would be untagged on VLAN 74 and Tagged on VLAN 75. I would then apply appropriate QOS policies for voice on the VLAN level and globally with DSCP values.
I would then need to set my default route on this new office switch to point to the HQ office switch(10.10.70.1) and then create the necessary routes in the HQ switch back to this switch for both
nets(10.10.74 and 10.10.75.):
ip route 10.10.74.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.70.10
ip route 10.10.75.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.70.10
But then I got to thinking that I would really not have QOS on the Point2point because I am basically just doing ip routing at that point?
OR is it better to also bring down(tag) VLAN 2 from main switch across the point2point and then setup VLAN 2 on the new switch and just enable routing on this switch and do the routing between subnets there?
I dont know. I think I am over thinking this.
Thanks for your time! Let me know if this is not clear enough.
