This forces us to use abridging firewall instead of routing one, because we want thoseservers to be behind the firewall. Adventures in network design, illustrated by our new backbone connection Our current connection to the campus backbone is megabitconnection. We are fortunate that no one is really chomping at the bit to havegigabit connectivity to elsewhere on campus.. In theory we couldachieve this even with our current network setup is that it wasdesigned before firewalls were common. While we have somewhat new gigabit backboneconnection, we are not using it yet because we need to revise ournetwork architecture.

As result, our currentbackbone connection connects directly to one of our 24 subnets, whereof course number of our servers live. Adventures in network design, illustrated by our new backbone connection Our current connection to the campus backbone is megabitconnection.
As result, our currentbackbone connection connects directly to one of our 24 subnets, whereof course number of our servers on that subnethave by very well known IP addresses and would be hard to move. However, this means that to use it wepretty much need to build new firewall setup and shuffle how ourinternal routing is done, and we havent yet had time to do either.
