We have a four 100BASE-TX hubs connected together by a single cable, which is an optical fiber cable. All of the hubs are part of a single LAN. We have twelve servers, three servers are connected to each hub. All servers are HP ProLiant ML350 G4p Storage Server with an OS of windows 2003 server.
We also have a two 100BASE-TX hubs. The cable connecting the two ports is unshielded twisted pair (CAT5) wire. All of the hubs form single LAN. We have 6 servers, 3 servers connected to each hub. All 6 servers are PRIMEPOWER 250 4U with Solaris as the OS.
I wam having trouble setting up a functional internetwork. I have to take into account for connectivity, reliability, network management, and flexibility. How should I address these issues. Are there certain services and software packages needed? I am not really familiar yet with OSI so if you can help out with that that would be great.
Thanks again for the help it is appreciated.
