Hi,

I work for a small company and we're looking to expand our office system. I have been tasked with setting this up. We have about 30 computers and 2 main servers all ordered and all ready to go. Im using a Cisco 1812w router to connect the computers together with the servers. This will be my first infrastructure design. It sounds pathetic but i could really do with a step by step guide to setting up the subnet and how to go about that, do i use fixed IPs? How can i connect the internet up to this system?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

This should be quite easy. Since you only have 30 machines and 2 servers you can use a /24 class C block, something like 192.168.1.0

Assign one of the servers as a DHCP server, this will then assign all your machines an ip address and save you setting static ones! In the dhcp scope options you can set the default gateway, make sure this is router so that people have outside access. Also I would setup one of the servers as a dns server, setup the forwarders and use that.
