I've got a new project and I need a refresher on TCP/IP to get it done. Can anybody help me with where I might find answers/documentation/sample solutions, etc. on the following:
I have a company that wants to move to TCP/IP only. They need to connect to 3 locations and the Internet (4 routers). The Internet link has a firewall with Network Address Translation so we can use any addressing we want internally. We'd like to use a private class B address like 172.16.x.x internally for the entire operation, but working with Class B's makes me go fuzzy on my TCP/IP fundamentals. Networks in each location would be 172.16.1.0, 172.16.2.0, 172.16.3.0, and the Internet. My questions are: - What subnet mask(s) do we apply to the networks to get the routing to work? - With 4 routes to different subnets and the Internet, what routing entries do we need to enter in the routers and the workstations? Does a routing protocol come into the picture? Any information to start me down the right path is appreciated.
