[Netpass-users] Network Arch Opinions/Questions

[Don R. <don...@em...>]

Looking for some opinions on exactly how to roll NetPass out:

Present Configuration
- Each of 5 residence halls is on its own subnet and VLAN
- Switch closets in each RH collapse back into a L3 aggregation  
switch before traveling back to the core via 1GB fiber

Possible Configurations
- Each building has its own NetPass/DNS/DHCP servers, so QVLAN never  
leaves the building
- Could "lose" a building if a single unit fails
vs.
- 2 HA campus-wide servers
- would have to tag QVLAN back thru core to allow DNS/DHCP access ==>  
or are these supposed to be routed thru the NP server(s)??

Still a little fuzzy on exactly how to roll this out...any help/ 
advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
