Sorry if this thread appears twice - had a couple of crashes posting...
I'm looking to setup a network in a small business center with around 10 clients. Each client needs their own static IP address which I've bought in from our ISP. They also need to be on their own networks and unable to interact with each other but if possible still access some public services such as printers (the printer part isn't essential).
I'm new to networking so I'm learning as I go but I need to know what equipment I need in order to setup the network as above and how it would all be linked together. I'll deal with the actual setup and config once I have the correct kit to play with.
I've been told VLANs would be ideal for seperating out the clients networks but can I assign each VLAN its own static IP and if so which part of the equipment does that - the router, switch etc?
thanks in advance for any help.
