Good morning, I come to you today asking for some advice. I am really under the gun with revamping our entire flat network into a more optimized system. Being the single IT person responsible for multiple plants I am quite overwhelmed with what direction I need to go. Currently we run a Sophos XG210 and I am only setup using one port for the LAN segment and of course the WAN for our outside services. Our network consists of your typical LAN devices, but also VoIP and security systems.
Our biggest problem is obviously the flat network that has become one big broadcast of all traffic, not good in any network. So the idea is to replace some equipment, add possibly core switches and integrate vlans. This is a huge undertaking in a production environment that runs practically 24/7.
I am wondering if I could start by possibly configuring and using XG a bit more and configuring some of the ports to take on these network. Maybe have the security system on Port 4 on its own and even have VoIP on Port 5. Just not sure how to go about doing this in such a manner as to not disrupt the main network and whether or not this is even good practice at all. Any help in any way would be greatly appreciated.
