Temple Network Configuration

> Temple Technology

Devices in the Network

1. Internet Service Provider (ISP) cable modems (normally provided by the ISP)
2. Cisco/Meraki Firewalls - Filters internet traffic and protects the network. It is the gateway to the rest of the building.
   1. Models MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105
3. Cisco/Meraki Distribution switches - Splits the internet connection between multiple Access Switches throughout the building
   1. Models MS410-16, MS410-32, MS425-16, MS425-32
4. Cisco/Meraki Access Switches - Splits the internet connection between multiple devices throughout the building.
   1. Models MS210-48FP, MS210-24P, MS225-24P, MS120-8FP
5. Cisco/Meraki Wireless Access Points (AP) - Connects wireless devices like phones and laptops to the internet through the firewall.
   1. Models MR36H, MR44, MR46E, MR76
6. Spare Firewall, Distribution Switch and Access Switch - used in the event of a device failure
7. Church Network Manager (CNM)—Web application to activate, configure, and monitor network devices.
8. Patch Panels - all data cables from the Access Switches connect to a patch panel which then distributes the network to many devices on the network such as Computers, Tablets, Printers, Phones, Wireless Access Points, data jacks in rooms, etc...

Network design and configuration (see Figure 1)

ISP to Firewall

1. The Primary ISP is connected to Port 3 on the Primary MX85, MX?? firewall
2. The Secondary ISP is connected to Port 4 on the Primary MX85, MX?? firewall

Firewall to Distribution switch

1. Port 9 on the Primary Firewall is connected to SFP Port 17 on the MS410-16 or MS425-16 Distribution switch, SFP Port 33 on the MS410-32 or MS425-32 Distribution switch

Distribution Switch to Access Switch(es)

1. Port 1 on the Distribution Switch is connected to SFP Port 49 on the first Access Switch or SFP Port 25 on the MS210-24P, MS225-24P
2. Port 2 on the Distribution Switch is connected to SFP Port 49 on the second Access Switch or SFP Port 25 on the MS210-24P, MS225-24P
3. Repeat this connection pattern for each Access Switch in the network. Some Access Switches will be in other Technology Rooms.

Access Switch ports to Wireless Access Points, Computers, Printers, Cameras, HVAC devices, etc...

1. Patch cords will be connected from the switch ports to a patch panel.
2. Behind the patch panel are data cables that lead to Wireless Access Points, computers, printers, phones, security cameras, HVAC systems, etc....
3. Each Switch port needs to be configured in CNM for the device type connected to the port. See the switch port configuration table below for details.

Spare Firewall, Distribution Switch and Access Switch on a Failover

1. Spare devices are connected to the internet but not actively part of the network. This is so they can be viewed and managed via CNM and Meraki.
2. The spare Firewall should be connected from port 3 on the firewall to a port on the main Access Switch. The Access Switch Port should be configured to ????
3. The spare Distribution switch should be connected from SFP Port 17 on the MS410-16 or SFP Port 33 on the MS410-32 Distribution switch to a port on the main Access Switch. The Access Switch should be configured to ?????
4. The spare Access switch should be connected from SFP port
