SCOPE OF WORK
The work that will be performed will include the design and installation of a fully switched star network. This includes the installation and setup of all the network devices, cabling and interfaces but may be limited to workstations, devices, servers, switches, routers, racks and all related software.

NETWORK NEEDS AND ANALYSIS
Data sources
Data will be created and used from all work stations on the network. The data will be produced by software application in a windows 7 environment on all work station and windows server 2008 on the server. Office 2010 professional (word, excel, power point, access and outlook) will also be utilized. Other data sources to be supported will be windows 7 accessories. The network cannot be accessed from outside the facility.
Number of users and priority levels
The maximum estimated number of users at any given time will be set as 10. Administrators will be given top priorities.
Reliability Requirements
In keeping up with DesignIT requirement and expectations the LAN is expected to operate at 99.9% uptime and an undiscovered error rate of 0.01%.
Security Requirements
A firewall will be used so that UN authorized users will be restricted. Parts of security will be different user account and password for each member.
Requirements
1. Software
a. Microsoft Windows 7 on all workstations (wired or wireless)
b. Microsoft server 2008 on the server

When designing a WAN, numerous factors must be considered. Organizations attempting to connect multiple factories or offices and remote personnel must take into account a number of variables that will impact overall costs and network functionality. When designing and implementing wide area networks (WANs) that integrate voice, video,
In Phase 1, you designed a network switching infrastructure that supported both the existing data traffic, as well as additional camera traffic, according to requirements. In Phase 2, you will create standards and provide a configuration template for implementation teams to use in future deployments.
We have chosen an extended star topology connection using a router to designate the VLANS and two 24 port switches to provide the most cost effective setup for this small office network. Being the very small nature of the setup we are using a class C network of 192.168.0.1 that we will designate the first 20 IP addresses of each VLAN as static to support any servers we might install as well as printers we may install in the future. The other 106 host will be set to DHCP for the computers and allows additional computers in the future. The rest of this paper will discuss why we have made these choices.
To complete the lofty goal of designing a new network infrastructure the Enterprise Network Engineer must meet several objectives including design of the physical placement of network devices, design of the physical connections between all network devices and design of the segmentation of the network utilizing VLANS. The Enterprise Network Engineer shall utilize several of the previously completed objectives including the network inventory scans and network device configuration audit to assist with the design. The Enterprise Network Engineer will utilize software such as Microsoft Visio to layout design schematics for all proposed hardware per physical location including any previously discussed and approved hardware repurpose recommendations. The Enterprise Network Engineer will include repurposed hardware within the Visio schematics; however, the repurposed hardware may or may not be implemented on the new network
I will be designing a network for Delta Insurance Company with four offices each in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and York. And I will be following the requirements detailed below. I will also be talking about the screenshots of my Design in this report.
This document does not include services for the network engineer to install or setup new servers for the clients or provide any upgrades to the client’s software on their existing servers.
The current network has approximately 3000 end users in which 2500 are students and 500 staff members furthermore we have 240 access points through which any users can connect to the
The typical Top-Down approach to network design uses a systematic method to plan, design, and implement a new network. Generally, the Top-Down methodology involves analysis of the business requirements and goals, development of the logical design based on such goals, development of the physical design, and a phase for testing, optimizing, and documenting the network design. This paper focuses on the activities performed to create a logical design of a network and then goes on to explain how the physical design is created.
To enhance the productivity a high-speed net is required so replacing the 100 Mbit/s LAN speed plan should be replaced with a 1 Gbit/s LAN speed plan. The 1 Gbit/s plan is a bit expensive one but is essential for fluent functioning. As BYOD gets implemented, in addition to company hardware, the number of devices connecting the office network will increase. Therefore, to avoid the shortage of IP addresses, the company should choose the supernetting mask to tackle the shortage of IP addresses. The Company currently is midsized one, so supernetting can be used as a solution and, as the company is growing at a fast pace, in future classless IP addressing can be used to tackle the IP address reduction. Implementing both above IP technologies can also solve the problem of different subnet mask, which is required for flowless connection of two offices at different location. For the future prospect if the company makes huge progress or becomes an international organization it should apply for IP address of class B for a large amount of device support.
The college of Business (COB) server is now being used to support deliver to the Computer Information System (CIS) department. The CIS professors would be using the server for various operations. Assignments, e-mail, and other types of information would be easier for the students to access. Network users are able to share files, printers and other resources; send electronic messages and run programs on other computers.
According to the book ‘Top down network design’ by Priscilla, and research by Pandya supports that a network is a group of devices connected together. There are many types of computer networks like, local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), campus area network (CAN), home area network (HAN), metropolitan-area network (MAN). Topology is the geometric arrangement of the computer system. The common topologies are bus, star, ring, mesh etc. Network topology refers to the physical or logical layout of a network. It defines the way different nodes are placed and interconnected with each other. Network topology describes how the data is transferred between these nodes. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. Physical topology emphasizes the physical layout of the connected devices and nodes, while the logical topology focuses on the pattern of data transfer between network nodes. This paper investigates how different types of topologies work, its advantages and disadvantages.
As a network engineer , It is main and most important factor while developing a network design is business analysis. So, by examining the client 's business and their goals, you can create a paper network design that meet the
The commercial world has become digital in a rapid manner. All the industries are now quickly adapting to the internet age, and are offering their products to the consumers in the convenient shopping experience from home using a web-browser or a smartphone app. With the trend of online shopping becoming larger with each passing year, there now exist some mega-empires of retail as well as wholesale organizations that functions

In this phase, there will be blueprints that show all the cable and also the arrangement all the computer to synchronize all the lab. This phase is the plan before the implementation made and the suitable design that suit the lab. It will show the design for the room, the place that the wire will place and also the rack for the switch.
