Hi all,
I am doing some work for a medium sized printing company, they currently
have around fifty computers connected to a switches and a network dialup
modem there is also a IIS webserver and SQL Server . My mission should I be
able to come up with the solution is to reconfigure there network to
maximize security as well as provide bet use of resources.
My idea is to install a firewall router with DMZ. (maybe a Cisco Pix 515)
Connect the outside of this router to the internet via a high speed
connection.
Connect the inside of this router to there network switches.
Place a new web server into the DMZ.
on the Inside network I would install a file server and domain controller.
The Web Server will recieve large amounts of PDF files that will be uploaded
by clients. The clients also submit data to the sql database to identify
what they have uploaded via the web site.
The staff will need access to an Intranet system were they will be able to
see the data supplied by the clients and also the files that have been
uploaded.
What I would like is some ideas on how to setup the network and servers.
Some of the things I would like ideas on are:
What ports to leave open on the outside firewall.
What ports to leave open on the inside firewall.
Where to place each of the servers and what they should be. (ie. Member or
Standalone or Domain Controller)
What services each server should run.
Where to place DNS server and how it should be setup.
I am sure there are more things to look into than just those that I have
mentioned. So please supply any ideas that are relivent. I have got about
siz months to have the plans in place. Cost at this time are not overly
important although I do not want to make the job too expensive as this will
only lead to failure.
If anybody wants more information please ask and I will try to provide you
with an answer.
Thank for any help.
