Is it better to use a dhcp server to reserve addresses based on mac address or to assign them statically on the interfaces?
I have a small network and i want almost everything to have static ip addresses. Is there any benefit to doing it one way or the other?
What is the general best practice for subnetting a small (abt 15 servers) network of vms and physical machines?
How granular should it be? Do you want to have a logical subnet or vlan for every seperate function in the network?
What is generally the guideline here?
I should add also that this is a small network with the sole purpose of hosting public facing web sites and applications for a small business. There will not be any other external users other than those from the internet.
I am working on setting up a small vm host cluster and I have the following setup :
I would like to configure multiple subnets as this will be a Hyper-V host with iscsi storage for the vms and failover clustering setup with another server. I would like the switch to be in its own subnet.
Some questions :
Some background, I just recently started to work on networking/infrastructure due to a small business that I am now part of. My background is in software development but I now wear multiple hats so sorry if my questions or phrasings seem "off".
Thanks
