Setting up a Network for Home Network for 3 Uses.

Introduction
Designing a Network for three users business, college use and pleasure has a lot of
functionality and purpose and what they are for and who will use them.
Business requirements for Robert
Business oriented network solely focuses on business task and this network should
be a wired connection in order to be secured when conducting a secure and
confidential business. This type of network use is specifically for handling business
transaction of the user.

Business network configuration is a set login restriction as this type of network

should be accessed by a single person for security purposes.
A business network can share a hardware resources like an all in one printer to
other networks to save money and increase the productivity when doing a task. This
network can be configured to 1 or 2 users we will need to add a user if there are 1
or more persons who access the business network. And to increase the security of
this network the administrator can freely remove existing users, change passwords
or disable user accounts on the network.
The business network would contain antivirus like AVG, Norton or Avira to protect
from viruses and windows firewall to filter websites that the user access to protect
the network from malwares. A business network client can be the administrator to
the remaining network users to control the network and can chose If the user wants
to limit the access or not. And this network can have 1 or more users depending on
what the user wants so the user will have full control.
Size of this network is a home network. Local Area Network Connection with a star
topology.
Hardware components in the network

Features of hardware components: Refer to document hardware list

1. Their role/purpose

2. How they connect

3. How they communicate with other components in the intended computer

network.
 Servers are computers that serves information to workstations
that are known as clients to provide access to the network.
Server
Servers are connected using a wired RJ45 cable.
Switch A switch send data to the devices who are connected to the
network then saves their mac address so that there will be no
wasted bandwidth if the switch sends data to the devices.

Router An improved version of a switch that transfers information

network to network in the most efficient way. The router is
connected by an Ethernet cable.
Personal A device that is capable of computing or communicating to
Computer other devices in binary form and it is designed to be used by
single person.

Network card Network cards are used to connect or access to the network.
They communicate by wireless or wired connection using an
rj45 cable.

Wireless Access A device that can be used to connect nodes wirelessly. A WAP
Point can be connected wired or wireless by a Wi-Fi modem to
communicate to the internet.
Modem Connects you to the internet via telephone wire that sends
analogue signals that a modem translates to digital signal.

A college use networks purpose is to be able to do collaborative working and it is
the same as a business network but this network is solely for accessing Office 365,
Adobe Photoshop and other school work related task.

Leisure use for Adam

This network is mainly for entertainment use and this type of network can be
accessed by 1 to 4 people with the purpose of using it for leisure this type of
network has a basic security configuration because a lot of people might access this
and create guest accounts but still this network cannot be breach because of the
antivirus and firewall that we use and guest accounts had limited access to files.
Size of this network is a home network. Local Area Network Connection with a star

A server is a computer that

170 computers. These computers,
called clients, can connect to a

server through either a local

area network LAN or a wide
area network WAN, such as
the Internet. A file server is a

Switch
A common connection point
for devices in a network.
Hubs are commonly used to
connect segments of a LAN.
20 A hub contains multiple
5 Port ProSafe 10/100 Compact ports. When a packet
Switch
by Netgear Prosafe
arrives at one port, it is
copied to the other ports so
that all segments of the LAN
can see all packets.
25 Coaxial cable, or coax
(pronounced /ko.ks/), is
a type of cable that has an
inner conductor surrounded
by a tubular insulating layer,
surrounded by a tubular
N male-male leads conducting shield. Many
N type male / male leads. coaxial cables also have
an insulating outer sheath or
jacket.

I have created a network that runs efficiently and there is nothing I could improve
about it or change I have 3 computers running at 1000 NIC speed a switch instead
of a hub, a server for all aspects connected to my switch and to a router also my
server is connected to a tape drive also my router is connected to the internet.
