Thanks for your Reply Is there any documentation on setting up/ running two servers , in a fashion that you have suggested ?

I am just becoming acquainted with Windows server , I have been ' Playing' with it in physical lab environments, so I can become comfortable and ultimately competent in using it for security (AD DC) and file permissions . I plan on deploying a server into a small business I work with , to cut...

FWIW , if you have your own physical server ( just use an old PC/ Workstation ) you can have much more control over security . Much cheaper too over long run - you can get suitable workstation for around 100-200 euro , even server computer for 200 euro . Then just configure a firewall with VPN .

Edited last two posts to show progress

I am now contemplating adding another SG300 switch ( technically a router) but I am unsure how to connect it , either to the router or the existing SG300 . Also how should the second SG300 be configured , concept is shown below

A few things : You do not need to be a programmer to use/ configure server hardware or software . With regard to hiring a physical server , I dont really understand - do you mean virtual servers - or on premise? For on premise physical servers Personally I just re-purpose old workstation...

As I cannot edit the original Post , an updated topology drawing should be shown , so hopefully the original does not mislead anyone The VLAN interfaces now only reside on the SG300 ( now removed from the upstream router device ) , each of the DHCP scope's gateway address now points to the...

Update ; (With some guidance from the thread created at Spiceworks - read it here) I have now got the inter VLAN and relay working ( with one caveat *) . The main issue was that I was mixing and matching the VLAN interfaces on the routing hardware . The VLANS are now exist on just the switch -...

{Edit} I have sent over the logs

FWIW I can set a static IP for VLAN 4 and get internet and contact the server . I have opened another thread on the Cisco forum also but , It seems it is a problem between the DHCP server and the Switch ,

Thanks for the confirmation on the trunk , this is how it has been configured at the time of writing and in the network diagram above . So Today I enable just the trusted snooping interface on port #23 ( as below ) , though the relay is still not yet working . Just to recap ; As you have...

Shown is a diagram showing the whole concept , on the right 'Proposed' network that I have been working on within a 'lab' ( network seperated logically using VLANS and Subnets ) . Please bear in mind that the current router serves IP addresses to the workgroup network ( used for business is...

Ok but on the switch I need to create a trunk to the server right? tagging all VLANS required ? I have already enabled the DHCP relay . I will try to reconfigure again

Hi Thanks for your input , I have SG300's , I have heard also that I only need one VLAN on the server but I have also heard the contrary here on another external forum ( Linksys). I have enabled the DHCP relays and did test the server on the one VLAN , but I couldnt get IP addresses to the...

I have been 'playing' with VLANS within a physical lab environment for some time ( several cisco switches , routers and computers) . I am able to set up trunks between switches and routers and access ports for computers and devices , this I understand . However I want some clarification on...
