CP Hotels Case Study ScenarioSee Case Study 2 for a description of the current CP Hotels network.Parts of the diagrams are replicated here for reference.CP Hotels Web Site TopologyThe following diagram illustrates the current data from CP Hotels showing the networktopology for the E-Commerce web site at a high level.

They are each paired with one data center.(For this case study, we will not discuss the additional single Performance and Test module,also located in one of the collocation facilities. It is similar in design.)Inside each collocation facility, VLANs 10, 20, and 30 respectively are the web server,application server, and DB server VLANs. The site runs IBM WebSphere using IBM servers.All traffic enters the web complex through a pair of Brand X firewalls. The paired CSS devicesroute between the firewall VLAN and the “internal” VLANs 10, 20, and 30. Servers in eachVLAN (10, 20, 30) have the CSS virtual interface as their default gateway, to keep serverrouting simple.The firewalls also secure the connection back to the CP Hotels data centers.
