1 Proposal description and requirements
The ABC is an technology institution that is found in America and currently had extended to
Canberra which is a new branch, in canberra there are two mid-size campuses which are
separated with a distance of 2km .The campuses has different dimensions where the first has
1600 meters by 1400 meters area while the second one is having an area of 1200 meters by 800
meters.
However in the first branch there are total of four buildings which hosted three colleges which
includes IT, physics and chemistry and the library, the second campus consisted of three
buildings which includes administration office, Business College and the library.
Below are the various network requirements to be implemented in the ABC network.
i. Use of the wireless technology to be used by the students and staffs.
ii. Use of wired technology to be used by the staffs.
iii. To connect the two campuses using best media technology.
iv. The network to enable the use of wireless technology in both indoor and outdoor.
v. The network to use DHCP server to assign the ip address to the users and guests.
vi. The network system should allow guest access system without authentication.
vii. The network system should be made secure through various measures.
2 Network design analysis
The network design represents how the network devices are be laid in the network and how the
various network components are linked and do communicate with each other, below are the two
branches network designs showing the floor plans in each campus.

2.1 Campuses floor mapping
2.1.1 ABC First Campus Floor Mapping Plan
The above figure represents the floor plan for the 1st campus branch which consists of four
buildings that hosts the IT College, chemistry college, Physics College and the Library building.
In this network there are various components as follows:
i. DHCP sever: This is the server that is located in the IT building and its main function
is to assign the ip addresses to the computers and the devices that are connected to the
network either through wired or wireless connection.
