HARDWARE USED:

Most Lans don't mention this gear but I think its good to let Lanners know what the network setup will be before arriving.

• 5x Gigabit Layer 2 switch's, A mix of Linksys and Dell, People do say these are massive overkill but they really arent.
• A Star network tapology using 1 core switch and 4 edge switchs and no nodes. This ensures there is no more than 2 hops from anyones computer on the network
• Network standards used are 802.3ad and 802.1D,
• Each edge switch will have a 4 port Link Aggregation group back to the core for maximum bandwidth and speed
• Spanning tree (802.1D) is enabled on all switchs for a loop free environment
• Various servers will be used including, DHCP server, DC Hub server, IIS web server and dedicated gaming server
