Internet: Cisco 26xx router with Ethernet to the PIX and T1 to ISP.
Firewall: Cisco PIX (515-ER), three interfaces in use. No NAT. The PIX is the terminus
of a VPN tunnel back to C-Bay headquarters. The numbers in the diagram refer to the
configuration of the PIX firewall interfaces. At least one member of each team should be
assigned to read up on the unique (and common) characteristics of the PIX firewall
devices.
The router, firewall, and two Cisco Catalyst 1924 workgroup switches are stacked on a
table in the network administrator’s cubicle. The DMZ segment and the segment
between the firewall and router are defined as VLANs on one of the switches. The

switches are linked by a crossover cable between one of the 100Mbps ports on each
switch, leaving the other 100Mbps port available as a ‘SPAN’ sniffer port.
DNS: Windows 2000 DDNS.
Web/FTP: IIS (version 5).
Email Server: MS Exchange.
Domain, Active Directory, the best of both worlds: Windows 2000 in compatibility mode,
with an NT BDC that will need to be upgraded to 2K if they want to shift to native mode.
Database: SQL Server.
