I am installing 2 new Small Business 2011 Servers ( 1 Standard and the other Premium Add-on, which is 2008 R2 Server). The network switches are 2 Cisco SG300-28P's (layer 3) and will have a total of 2 to vlans (Voice(100) and Data(101)). We have outgrown our NEC phone system and have been testing the 3CX system with a couple Cisco SPA500 series phones and works great. During testing everything was on a flat network because the network is not operational yet.
My question is....
I understand that the SBS 2011 Standard server only supports 1 nic so how should I setup the server so that it can talk to both vlans? The vlans will be Voice-VLAN100=10.1.1.0/24 and Data-VLAN101=192.168.85.0/24. The phones will need to talk on the 10.1.1.0 network so the server will need that IP set up. I think my only option is to put the 3CX phone system on the 2nd Premium server, which does support multiple NICs. If I use the 2nd server, should I use both NICs or just apply 2 IP addresses to one NIC and let the layer 3 switch handle it. If I do that does the NIC need to support 802.1q vlan tagging?
As far as DHCP, I was just planning on setting up 2 scopes on the primary SBS Std server (#1) and configuring a helper address on the switches to point to Server 1 for all DHCP requests. Will that work?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
Craig
