Network requirement analysis and plan

The scope of the project is to develop a suitable network design for lawyer farm situated in the Australia. They mainly have six departments in the building as human resource, finance, senior lawyers, research wing, trainee and front desk. The network needs to be also configured in an order that every department can communicate with the respective department. Additionally, some access also needs to be blocked among departments.

ADVANCED NETWORK DESIGN
1. Project Scope and requirement
The scope of the project is to develop a suitable network design for lawyer farm situated in
the Australia. They mainly have six departments in the building as human resource, finance, senior
lawyers, research wing, trainee and front desk. The network needs to be also configured in an order
that every department can communicate with the respective department. Additionally, some access
also needs to be blocked among departments. The design needs to be conducted while selecting
appropriate devices in order to provide wired and wireless connection to each departments.
2. Network Design and Justification
2.1. Description of the approach
The network has been designed in order to provide the optimal connection solution in the
building. As shown in the figure, the ISP provide the internet connection which is directly linked with
a router. The router is connected with core switch which is placed in the level 3 layer. The proposed
network diagram is designed while maintaining the hierarchal model. The three layer is established
as shown in the diagram below. The core distribution switch is placed in the layer 3 which is
connected to three layer 2 distribution switch. Every distribution switch is connected with the two
other access layer switches which are also connected with end devices and wireless routers in order
provide wireless connectivity in different network.

3.4. Access point and server configuration guidelines
The access points are configured properly in a way that it support large number of
connection and able to work flawlessly as well. The access point configuration is also protected from
the end users with appropriate authentication. Additionally, 802.1 authentication is utilized in order
to achieve such functionality among server side and client side. In order to validate data the useful
data is backup in case of data loss. The access point will provide the connectivity to connect 50
wireless connection effectively.
