Server Rack and Switch Management Guide

The document summarizes the network infrastructure of two server rooms. Server room 1 contains 2 firewalls, 8 48-port switches connected via patch panels. Server room 2 similarly contains 2 48-port switches. A table lists the number of ports in each room and their working status. Another table shows the cable connections from the servers and their status. The assessment found specific issues with unidentified cables and non-working ports. It proposes upgrading switches to L3 for improved routing/switching, properly routing cables to reduce breaks and aid troubleshooting.

To achieve this, we have to perform


some ground work.

The status which are identified under the Column of After has to be
converted as action items to achieve the expected objective.
PRESENT SITUATION;
D-link switches:
Current status:
1. CELKON has 10nos. Of L2 D-link Switches.

1. 5nos. Are being used in server1 room.

2. 3nos. are being used in server 2 room.

3. 1no. is not used at all still.

4. 1no. Is in live but it is kept for the emergency condition.

Proposal:

• L3 has the routing and switching function in one hardware.

• Even though we purchase L3, still the L2 shall be consumed with


L3 combination which shall improve the performance.
Cable Routing Proposal:

Proper cable routing have to be done.

Benefits: Expected outcome


after routing process
• Easily we can identify the
ports connections.
• We can reduce the cable
break downs.
• Time reduction to
detect where the
problem occurs. Current Status
