Printer DHCP to 200-239,
and keep 001 as the gateway, 002-099 and 240-254 for utility. ~Doug

Server 1 and 2 are directly connected with 10GB connection.
Every other connection is 1GB.
Spare firewall, switch, and thinclients on hand.
Taxonomy
1. First 2 characters for the Company,
2. Next two for Machine Type = Virtual Machine or RM for Real Machine
3. Next two Workstation or Server – WS = Windows Server, WW = Windows Workstation, LS = Linux Server, LW = Linux Workstation.
4. The last 2 = nn = number.
5. Example = DVRMLS01 = Domain Vacations, Real Machine, Linux Server, 01
