The firewall will manage multiple tasks for both offices including being the DHCP server, the DNS server, preventing outside intrusion, managing the wireless access points (WAPs), controlling the connection to the New York office and authenticating remote users. Each of these tasks can be handled by the recommended firewall (Dell).

The remaining 252 IP addresses will be available for local and remote employee devices. The SonicWall-Ne WAPs will be used at this location as well. Because of the static VPN connection between New York and Austin, these WAPs will be centrally managed by the SonicWall in the Austin office. Employees that travel between locations will easily be able to connect their devices. Newton Ad Agency Final Proposal 1.4 Diagrams Figure 1 shows the hardware that will be used at each location.
