LOCAL AREA NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES
Objective:
Scenario
Victoria University Company has recently restructruing and needs to develop a new
local area network to meet business requirements. You are hired by the company to
design and build the network.
The initial phase involves design and development of a network for a number of
building as shown in the below map.
Sport
Number of employee 100
Each employee has 01 PC + 01 IP Phone
The department has 1 server
Health
Number of employee 50
Each employee has 01 PC + 01 IP Phone
The department has 1 server
Business
Number of employee 50
Each employee has 01 PC + 01 IP Phone
The department has 1 server
Engineering
Number of employee 30
Each employee has 01 PC + 01 IP Phone
The department has 1 server
Human Resources
Number of employee 10
Each employee has 01 PC + 01 IP Phone
The department has 2 servers
After discussing with the company leaders and their technical staff, both sides have
agreed with the following technical requirements:
The company uses a single gateway router to access an outside router of ISP.
Network Address Translation should be used on the gateway router to hide IP
address of internal network.
The network should be designed to optimize the cost i.e. you should try to use
least numbers of network devices and links.
The company was assigned the following IP address range to use for their
networks: 172.XY.0.0/16 (XY is the last 2 digits of your student ID)
1. Design and draw network topology using packet tracers (or other drawing
tools). Clearly label the buildings, departments, switches and router.
(10 marks)
2. Identify how many subnets are required for your proposed topology. Design
the subnets based on the given network address (172.XY.0.0/16) to optimize
the address spaces (using the second approach number of hosts needed).
Note: the link between the gateway router of the university and ISP router has
been assigned with network 200.1.X.0/24 (X is the first digits of your student
ID).
Create a table and provide details of the network design for each network such
as below:
Sport
Allocated subnet/Mask
Network address
Default gateway address
Valid host address range
Broadcast address
(20 marks)
S1
(Please type the script here as below, NOT using screenshot
from packet tracer)
S1: enable
S1: configure terminal
S1: . . .
Then, enter the script into packet tracer to implement a functional network.
(50 marks)
Submission
You have to submit a design document as outlined above with a working packet
tracer file to VU Collaborate Submission Box by the due date.
You may be asked to demonstrate your solution a long with the document to the
lecturer / lab tutor.
