There will be six computer labs that will be used for
instruction. Each of these labs will have 22 computers (20 student computers
and 1 instructor computer). Each of these labs will also have a server in the
closet located inside the lab.
In addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a
Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students to do their
homework. There will be 30 computers in this lab and a server in the closet.
The library will also have some computers to allow students
access to the library resources. There will be 10 computers for student’s use
in the library, and 5 computers for Library staff.
There are five lecture classrooms in the building. Each of
this room will have a computer for instructor’s use.
Finally, there are various offices in the building. Each of
these offices will have one computer for the staff use, with the exception of
the Admission office that will have 5 computers for staff use.
Your task is to design the network for this new building
with the following criteria:
Student-accessed computers should be on separate network
from the staff-accessed computers.
The whole building will share one Internet access connection
(T-1 link from Verizon). This connection will come into the Server Room on the
first floor.
Security is very important for as we have to protect
students and employee’s data as well as any intellectual property that has
on the servers and computers.
The network has been assigned the 10.11.0.0/16 network
address for all computers and devices. For Internet routing use 151.1.1.1 IP
address.
The network should use physical cable (not wireless), but do
provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area.
Submission should include (in no more than ten pages,
excluding diagrams and references):
Network Addressing:
Define the subnet (based on: rooms, floor, department, or
other criteria).
For each subnet, explain which devices/groups/users/rooms
will be on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask (the same for
all subnets; i.e., no VLSM), and available IP addresses to be used by computers
or devices.
Physical Network Design:
Define the topology that will be used.
Select the appropriate network media to use.
Select the appropriate network connecting devices to use.
Physical layout of the computers on the floor plan.
List of additional servers or network devices needed to
implement the network.
Justifications for your network design (number 1 – 5 above)
You will be evaluated on your ability to
Implement appropriate IP addressing scheme
select and justify appropriate cable media that includes the
length of each cable segment and number of nodes on each segment
select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus,
or ring for your network
select and justify of your selected network equipments
select and justify appropriate network services to meet
network requirements
select and justify security implementation for the network
use proper grammar, formatting, network terminology, and
reference citatio
