The organization’s head office is located in the Sydney CBD. The head office consists of three departments: IT support, purchasing, and sales. The IT support is located on the first floor, while the marketing and the sales departments are located on second and third floors of the building respectively. IT support has 30 workstations, purchasing has 15 workstations, and sales has 50 workstations. Some applications require that data be shared between departments, but generally, each department has its own applications. Every workstation needs access to the Internet, Intranet and e-mail system. The head office also requires wireless internet connectivity for all the floors. Suppose you are the network engineer for this organization and your IT manger asked you to design the network for head office. The organization is also planning to establish three additional offices in the future namely Queensland, Melbourne and Canberra. Your task to prepare a networking solution that enables employees in all three offices to communicate both internally in that office and, to a lesser extent, between the other offices and head office. According to the specifications provided, the most user resource requirements will be met by servers located in the same office as the users who need to access them. The main communication requirements between offices relate to e-mail and periodic file transfers. You are required to design this network both as a wired and wireless (wherever required). This assignment has two tasks: Task A: Write a report with following sections: 1. Introduction 2. The LAN network design of the head office i. Discuss the locations of all workstations and interconnecting devices, such as switches and routers, if any to be used ii. Discuss and justify the recommended media type iii. Discuss the type of LAN topology and protocol to be used iv. Identify and discuss the connection that provides the Internet access to the LAN v. The sketch of network plan for each floor (using some software such as MS Visio) 3. The WAN network design between all five offices and the head office i. The sketch of the WAN connectivity (using some software such as MS Visio) ii. Discuss the devices to be used such as routers (if any) and their functioning iii. justify the recommended media type iv. Discuss the type of network structure suitable in this scenario (circuit switched or packet switched structure) v. Discuss the recommended routing protocol in this scenario (RIP or OSPF) 4. A summary section 5. References in IEEE style BN106 Networking Fundamentals Page 3 of 5 Prepared by: Dr Mohammad Mohammad Moderated by: Dr Lincy Jim August, 2019 Task B: Create a 3 - 5 minutes PowerPoint presentation and present your work during the Lab in Week 11. Submission Guidelines 1. The assignment should be submitted on the Moodle in two separate files: i. The report should be submitted as a Word file ii. The presentation should be submitted as a PPT file 2. Do not use Wikipedia as a source or a reference 3. Must consider at least five current references from journal/conference papers and books. Must follow IEEE referencing style. 4. Make sure you properly reference any diagrams/ graphics used in the assignment Marking criteria: Sections Description of the section Marks Introduction Introduction about the report 10 LAN Network Design The LAN network design of the head office i.
