Computer Diagrams

Network Diagram Urgent Please Help!!!?

I'm trying to finalise a network diagram in an assignment. I need 2 subnets, with around 50 computers on each subnet. There will be a DHCP server on each subnet, as well as a file server. One of the subnets will need access to an internal website, should this have a web server within this subnet? I was also going to include a mail server on this subnet. I have so far done it as [Internet Cloud] -> [Router] -> [Hub] -> [Workstations, File Server, DHCP Server] (These last 3 all join directly to the Hub. Is this right??? Or should it be [Internet Cloud] -> [Router] -> [DHCP Server] -> [Workstations, File Server]??? How would the IP addressing work??? I have worked out 2 subnets, as well as he address ranges for the DHCP server to allocate to the workstations. How should I set the addresses for the router, hub and servers?

  1. Well, to answer your first question about the webserver, if only one subnet needs access to it then it should be in that subnet. Also, why are you using a hub? You should be using a switch instead. In fact, you should be using 2 switches that are connected to the router. So your diagram should look something like this: cloud - router - switch - pcs, dhcp, file, www -------------------- switch - pcs, dhcp, file For the ips you should make them static for the servers and routers. They should be dynamic for the pcs.
