Let's see... Folks at the site screw up and take themselves off-line
Same folks demand admin rights to their own firewall They think they can snitch bandwidth from their neighbor using their own firewall, but... ...their own firewall is downstream from the switch where bandwidth is allocated (and thus, they would need access to that switch as well) Even if they were "computer savvy", wouldn't there be PCI, Change Control / auditing issues, etc? Need documentation from the other office allowing such changes more or less at will? -- richard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 10:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Traffic shaping before the firewall Hi all, I have a location that shares internet with another office, I had a port based vlan firewall that would take the pipe and split it into the switch of each office respectively and it also allowed me to allocate X bandwidth to each lan. Long story short, someone was rewiring something one day and caused a loop that led one of the offices to lose internet- Now they are demanding to have main firewall removed , and each office have its own firewall (simple , i know, put a switch between the ISP and the two firewalls and give each one its public ip), here is the problem , they want to be able to have one of the people in the office (none of which are computer savvy) have the ability easily change the allocated bandwidth on any given day - The reason behind this is because when they have an event , or a conference etc.. they want to be able to allocate say 15 of the 20 megs to the lan with wifi. And of course they dont want to have to pay any extra for me, or anyone to go onsite and do the adjusting at each firewall.
