The 50-year-old two-story building has the following layout:
First Floor Plan
Second Floor Plan
There will be six computer labs that will be used for
instruction. Each of these labs will
have 23 computers (22 student computers and 1 instructor computer). Each of these labs will also have a server in
the closet located inside the lab.
In addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a
Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students to do their
homework. There will be 30 computers in
this lab and a server in the closet.
The library will also have some computers to allow students
access to the library resources. There
will be 10 computers for student’s use in the library, and 5 computers for
Library staff.
There are five lecture classrooms in the building. Each of this room will have a computer for
instructor’s use.

Two server rooms have been allocated, one on the first floor
and one on the second floor.
Your task is to design the network for this new building
with the following criteria:
Student-accessed computers should be on separate network
from the staff-accessed computers.
The whole building will share one Internet access connection
(T-3 link from Verizon). This connection
will come into the Server Room on the first floor.
Security is very important for as we have to protect
students and employee’s data as well as any intellectual property that has
on the servers and computers.
The network has been assigned the 12.12.0.0/16 network
address for all computers and devices. For Internet routing use 153.1.120.1 IP
address.
The network should use physical cable (not wireless), but do
provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area.
Submission should include (in no more than ten pages,
excluding diagrams and references):
Network Addressing:
Define the subnet (based on: rooms, floor, department, or
other criteria).
For each subnet, explain which devices/groups/users/rooms
will be on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available
IP addresses to be used by computers or devices.
Physical Network Design:
Define the topology that will be used.
Select the appropriate network media to use.
Select the appropriate network connecting devices to use.
Physical layout of the computers on the floor plan.
List of additional servers or network devices needed to
implement the network.
Justifications for your network design (number 1 – 5 above)
You will be evaluated on your ability to
Implement appropriate IP addressing scheme
select and justify appropriate cable media that includes the
length of each cable segment and number of nodes on each segment
select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus,
or ring for your network
select and justify of your selected network equipments
select and justify appropriate network services to meet
network requirements
select and justify security implementation for the network
use proper grammar, formatting, network terminology, and
reference citations
