Unit 1 Exercise 1 IP address scenario There are many factors involved in this scenario. For example, the building may lend itself to certain network designs. You may have multiple floors or a single floor. Multiple data closets or just one. You may have virtualized servers or desktops. You will want to accommodate all these into your design. 50% may seem like too much now, but realistically, 200 or 300% might be more acurate. A simple design you can consider is 1 floor with a single data closet serving 150 users. You need: A core network Networks for your firewall, dmz, remote vpn clients, etc switch mgmt network server network voice network wireless network networks for other services you have not yet identified, like …show more content…
If you can imagine wanting multiple networks for servers in the future for security reasons, this makes sense. You may not want to lump your security camera video servers in the same network as your email server. You may want a dedicated development network. You may have remote users that don't need access to all servers. Things like that will influence your final design. Another recommendation would be to leave 10.1.0.0/21 for network usage. Then make 10.1.8.0/21 for your access. This can be carved up as above, 10.1.8.0/24 for pc's, 10.1.9.0/24 for voip and so on. You can also go with smaller chunks if you are planning multiple data closets. 10.1.8.0 /22 would give 10.1.8.0 - 10.1.11.254 with a/24 network for pc,s voip, other then floor 2 10.1.12.0/22 10.1.12.0 - 10.1.14.254. In any case, your design needs to be flexible enough to handle massive change without needing a complete overhaul. If you have 50 pc's per network now and you allow for 254 and you have separate networks already in place for voip, wireless and 4 other networks that can be carved into smaller networks as needed, you will have enough to go around without redesigning anything for a long time. There are lots of pages available on classless and classful addressing. Please let me know if this was helpful or if you need anything else. Remember that using 10. address space is not necessary, you can use 172.29.x or 192.168.x as well. It is just a little more flexible if
There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.
The proposed network is designed to serve DesignIT which consist 56’x36’ office space, 4 cubicles, 1 office, 1 server room, 1 receptionist desk and 1 conference room.
For the second half of this assignment I will set up a network LAN for 145 host with an allowance for 50% growth over the next two years. When I do the math the number that I came up with is 281 address spaces needed for this company. To get 218, multiply the original 145 hosts by .50, which is equal to 72.5. Then add the 72.5 to the original 145 and the result is 217.5 and I rounded up to 218. So I will need at least 218 host addresses on my LAN. I now know that from the number of addresses needed I will be in the C Class of Classful networks, because there are 218 network addresses needed and Class C networks will allow up to 256 addresses per network. From the start I would break this down into at least five or more networks depending on how the company is divided. A company with this many host computers will have at least four or more divisions (IT, Administrations, Accounting, and Human Resources), and each division will need its own network. In order to get my five networks I will have to make room for eight networks, because the next lowest number for networks is 4. Remembering that I must use the n-2 notation for networks the number 8-2 = 6 which covers my 4 networks needed. The subnet mask for this will be 255.255.255.224 because 128 + 64 +32 = 224. The CIDR notation is /27 because of the bit value. Now that I have this information I know that my subnet mask is 255.255.255.224/27. The range of my four networks are as follows:

Human factors are a serious reason to approach building design from several different angles. Understanding regulatory requirements will help the planning team meet the different codes required to build or remodel. Color selection and noise control affect the environment for both patients and employees so this must be selected carefully to impact the health and wellness of those who are interacting in the health care space. Purchasing the correct the equipment for the space and the employees to use on a daily basis is imperative to the budget of the facility planning process. Identifying the
4) In IP subnet planning, you need to have at least 130 subnets. How large should your subnet part be?
There would be initial cost tied to building the needed space and working to make sure that it’s accessible to all staff as appropriate. The size of what’s needed would vary store to store so there would need to be time spent researching volume trends for the locations.
Which layer of the OSI reference model handles logical addressing (IP addresses) and routing traffic?
Note to instructor: An alternate answer could be a single large LAN for the entire headquarters, interconnected via a WAN to the field offices.
Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps.

DesignIT is a graphic arts company that is expanding business and has recently purchased a new building 56’*36’ space for the purpose of housing two full time designers and a receptionist. The new building has four cubicles, one office, one server room, one reception desk, and a conference room. DesignIT has already relocated one Web Server (Microsoft IIS Server), one File Server (Microsoft Server 2008), and one more Server 2008 (Small Business Server). As a network design consultant, I have been charged with the task of designing and configuring the network for DesignIT. The small company has informed me that the network should

Router IP’s will be respectively as follows: (128.100.254.11), (128.100.254.12), (128.100.254.13), (128.100.254.14), (128.100.254.15), (128.100.254.16), (128.100.254.17), (128.100.254.18),
Since one office is in the center of the WAN, it would be the most logical location for the main server headquarters. This main location would be home to six servers, two of them being print servers and the other four each hosting their own specific applications to all of the workstations in the network. The first of the four servers would hold the business management applications needed by any of the accountants or human resource teams. The second would hold the medical managing software that would hold all patient information, insurance, and bills that could be accessed from any of the 5 office locations in the network for both doctor and patient convenience. The third will be used to host a web server and the final system will be used as a domain controller that will manage the users and groups on the network.
With an expectation of significant growth not only in their organizational size but also the in the number of premises that will be utilized alongside the larger organization, XUMUC needs to ensure that the network and infrastructure foundations allow for such growth and expansion opportunities while ensuring at the same time that several already
