CMIT 265
Fundamentals of Networking
Hello there! I
have am lost. My rough draft is due Sunday, December 13. I’m not
looking for a stellar proposal to be written but help on whatComputer Components to use and whyand wherethey should be placed (see diagram) and why. Same thing for the IP/subnetting, and
Network devices. I really need to see the setup of the devices and wiring
schematics. If you have time to write a design proposal by Saturday, that
would be a bonus.
Here are the assignment
details. There are two attachments: one includes what you see below plus
a diagram of the building design and the template we are to use for the paper.
ASSIGNMENT SCENARIO:
You have been hired as
part of the networking team at . After completing orientation and training
in your first week, your manager calls you into a meeting to discuss your first
project.
The university has
recently leased a building in Adelphi, . The building will house some
offices, classrooms, a library, and computer labs. Security is very important
for , as the university must protect students’ and employees’ data, as well
as any intellectual property that has on its servers and computers. As a
result, IT management would like to take the time to review some proposals on
how best to move forward. As a network engineer, you have been asked to prepare
a network proposal on how to set up a secure network infrastructure in this new
building to support university operations.
After speaking to your
manager, you are excited about the project, but you realize you will have a
busy schedule. As you write your proposal, you will also have to prepare for
the Network+ Certification exam. One of the conditions of your employment at
this company is that you obtain this certification within 60 days of being
hired. You will have to manage your time wisely, because you will have to take
a practice certification test just as you are completing your final project.
To get started, follow
the steps below.
OVERVIEW
You will provide detailed network design proposal. 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.
Computers for public use should be on a separate network.
· There must be a
minimum of 40 Mbps Internet connection, with a backup line capable of at least
20Mbps. Cable, DSL, or FIOS should not be used for primary Internet service.
· The network should
use physical cable, not wireless. But do provide wireless access in the Student
Lobby area (second-floor hallway). Set the maximum simultaneous wireless users
to 254.
· The network has been
assigned the 10.11.12.0/23 network address for all computers and devices
Your proposal should
have three major sections:
1. Physical Network
Design
2. Network Addressing
3. Network Services
Design
To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, please take
a moment to review therubric. The final
deliverable should adhere to the following criteria:
· Include at least five
scholarly references.
· UseIEEE-style citation.
· Use correct network
terminology.
· The use of diagrams
is encouraged.
Use thistemplate as a guide
while creating your final deliverable.
Physical Network Design
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Define the topology
that will be used.
2. Select the
appropriate network media.
3. Select the
appropriate network connecting devices, including network security devices.
4. Select the
appropriate computer systems to use to support the network design.
5. Determine a physical
layout of the computers on the floor plan, along with the network wires
(network wiring diagram).
6. Provide
justifications for each element of your network design (numbers 1–4 above)
Network Addressing
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Define the subnets
(based on rooms, floor, department, or other criteria).
2. 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.
Network Services Design
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Identify network
services needed.
2. List additional
servers or network devices needed to implement the network.
3. List network security
measures to be implemented.
4. Justify the need for
the network services, security measures, and devices you’ve selected.
6.Building Details
The 50-year-old,
two-story building has the following layout:
Diagram of building
attached separately
Building dimensions:
Length: 240 Feet, Width: 95 Feet, Height: 30 Feet
The building will
house six computer labs that will be used for instruction. In the building
diagrams above, the labs are labeled Classroom #1, Classroom #2, and Classroom
#4 on the first floor and Classroom #1, Classroom #2, and Classroom #5 on the
second floor; each computer lab will have a closet. Each lab will have 32
computers: 30 student computers, 1 instructor computer, and 1 server in the
closet for instructional use.
In addition, there
will be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students to
do their homework. There will be 50 computers in this lab and a server in the
closet. To allow students access to library resources, the library will also
have 10 computers for students and 5 computers for library staff.
Finally, there are
various offices in the building. Each of these offices will have one computer
for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have
five computers. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and one
on the second
