Hi
Been asked as a favour, because i do some networking but done nothing on this scale
Ok the building as 35 rooms, which all have been flood cabled (about 12 network points per room) and all the cables from each have been pulled to a central room in the building, which i have injected into patch cables and i know which room and cable is which... So thats that done
However, each room needs to be on a separate subnet e.g.
192.168.1.X
192.168.2.X
192.168.3.X
And so on......
The building is having a leaseline installed, think they are looking at 20mb/20mb leaseline
The issue i have now is what equipment do i get to do this?
I know from using draytek routers, i can put 4 separate lan subnets each with dhcp on each one
So that means i would need 9 drayteks etc
Then add a switch to each lan port on each draytek for each of the offices/rooms
But that is just me looking at it quickly, i have told my mate this wont be cheap, but each office he rents out at £500 a month so he knows initially it will cost a bit and the room where all the equipment will be housed on my say so as got some decent sized floor cabinets
Just looking at some help/advice on any other equipment i could use to do this?
The key is that no other office can see each others network, but each office as dhcp, so they can just walk into office and plug a laptop etc in without having to preconfigure the devices
But i have zero cisco experience, so that rules this type of equipment out
Sorry for waffling
