Assignment description

You are a Network Engineer with a computer systems integration company named ABC I.T. You have
een tasked with designing a new network implementation for ABC IT Institute that has recently
leased a building in Melbourne CBD with the aim of offering IT related courses to its cu
ently enrolled
400 students. The building will house some offices, classrooms, li
ary, and computer labs.
The Four-story building has six computer labs and each of these labs will have 25 computers having
internet connectivity. Each lab will also have a server in the closet located inside the lab. IP phones
are located in each lab to communicate to service desk. The IT Institute also wants to setup six
classrooms, each containing one computer which requires internet connectivity, one whiteboard,
one display monitor and an IP phone.
The li
ary will have 10 computers to allow students access to the li
ary resources. Another 15
computers will be made available for staff and administration. Finally, wifi internet connectivity
should be made available to students and staff inside campus premises with appropriate
authentication/authorization methods and standards.
Your task is to come up with a logical, efficient and scalable network design that will be suitable for
this institute. The institute has allowed an adequate budget to purchase any networking devices that
may be required, yet obviously does not want to spend more than necessary. In addition, industry-
specific standards must be used and apply to IT infrastructure and services.
Write a report and include:
1. Build a document giving all the necessary network designs (enough information should be
provided that will allow any technician to build your network structure from scratch).
2. Simple IP addressing solution (step by step workout of the calculations) that leaves room for
growth, is easy to administer and has the minimum wastage of available IP address space.
3. List all hardware and software specification of the selected devices.
In your report include the following contents

 Project Scope
 Detailed Network diagram
 Project Hardware and Software requirements
- Name of the network device with manufacturer’s name, series, model and ports
- Type of the cables used
- Name of the server, PC with specification such as operating system, RAM, hard disk
etc.
 Network device configurations
- Include most of the suitable feature which you have studied from laboratories 1 to 6.
