Network Design Paper
The school has recently acquired a building in Maryland. This new building will house some admin offices, lecture rooms, and computer labs.
Building Dimensions:
Length: 240 feet
Width: 95 feet
Height: 30 feet
The building has 2 stories with layouts that I can attach for you.
There are 6 computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of the labs will have 21 computers (20 for students 1 for instructor). Each of these labs will also have a server in the closet located inside the lab.
I 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 5 lecture classrooms in the building. Each room will have a computer for instructor use.
Finally, there are various offices in the building. Each of these offices will have 1 computer for staff use, with the exception of the Admission office that will have 5 computers for staff use.
 

2 server rooms have been allocated, 1 on the first floor, and 1 on the second.
Your task is to design the network for this new building with the following criteria:
Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from 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 and this school.
The network will be assigned the 10.15.0.0 network address for all computers and devices. For internet routing use 191.1.1 network address.
The network should use physical cable (not wireless), but do provide wireless access in the Student Lobby Area.
 

Submission should include no more than 3 pages, excluding diagrams and references.
1. Define the subnet (based on :rooms, floor, department, or other criteria.)
2. For each subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available IP addresses to be used by computers or devices.
 

Physical Address Design:
1. Define the topology that will be used.
2. Select the appropriate network media to use.
3. Select the appropriate network connecting devices to use.
4. Physical layout of computers on the floor plan.
5. List of additional servers or network devices needed to implement the network.
6. Justifications for your network design (number 1-5 above).
You will be evaluated by 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 in each segment.
Select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus, or ring for your netowork.
Select and justify your selected network equipment.
Select and justify appropriate network services to meet network requirements.
Select and justify implementation of the network.
use proper grammar, formatting, network terminology, and reference citations.
Feel free to use any drawings or attachments, and assume any number of computer or users.
