NETWORK SOLUTION FOR A HEAD OFFICE
With Connectivity to Remote Office & Mobile Staff
To effectively manage large, complex and bandwidth-demanding “head office” environments,
the diagram below depicts Layer 3 Managed Stackable Switches (GSM7328Ss) at the core.
These Layer 3 Managed Stackable Switches support VLANs and Quality of Service, enabling this organisation - for example - to
prioritise voice traffic or specific users. A 10 Gig Fiber uplink is employed to provide 10 x Gigabit throughput between the stack of
GSM7328S Switches and a single GSM7328S to provide incredibly fast throughput to the company’s server farm.
Also connected to the stack of GSM7328Ss are NETGEAR’s Smart Switches with built-in PoE to power multiple Wireless Access Points,
VoIP telephones and IP security cameras. PoE facilitates easier, flexible deployment, avoiding the constraint of only placing mobile
devices near to AC sockets. Multiple Wireless Access Points (WG302s) complement the wired network by providing wireless coverage
across the office for visitors.
The Firewall (FVX538) supports IPSec VPN, to provide regional, branch and remote offices with secure, private access to resources held
on servers at the head office. An SSL VPN device (SSL312) complements the site-to-site IPSec VPN, by providing mobile users with
secure, browser-based access to head office resources without the need to load client software onto every remote laptop (see Separate
SSL VPN Solution Guide on Page 11).
