Solution for VanDelay Industries There are many options available to connect a network between separate buildings. Wireless technologies such as microwave or radio can accomplish building to building connectivity. However, for the fastest, most stable and efficient connection, a hard-wired solution would be best. There are other considerations as well. Will the buildings be on separate segments? If so, a routing solution must be implemented. The routing solution could be done with layer 3/4 switches; however this network should be set up with expansion and external connectivity in mind for the future. One building should house the MDF (main distribution frame), which will contain the router. For redundancy and scalability, a second router should be configured as a failover solution. Since this is a simple matter of routing between 2 adjacent buildings, RIP can be used as the routing protocol. RIP is an archaic and chatty protocol, however it is very...
