Executive Summary
AML have the requirement to upgrade their current network solution such that it can
accommodate the organizations future needs and expand their business. The current building
framework of the organization is evaluated for dividing the network with VLANs according
to the name of the department. The building floorplan of three adjacent building of the
company is analysed for identifying the number of wireless routing device is needed to be
installed for enabling the company to support BYOD policy. A new network framework is
created for the organization after the evaluation of the security needs. The data transmission
media and the essential hardware device required for the development of the network
framework is recognized for creating the network design. An Ipv4 addressing plan is created
following the number of subnets needed for the development and the Ip addressing table is
created for the development of the network framework.

1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose
The report is developed for identifying the current bottleneck conditions of existing
Advanced Medicos Limited network and a suggest a solution for eliminating the bottleneck
and upgrade the current network infrastructure. The business and technical goals is evaluated
for the deployment of the organizational network.
1.2. Background
Advanced Medicos Limited (AML) sells different types of healthcare product and the
main products include hardware used for providing different types of health services. It is a
digital health company that currently have the need for upgrading their current network and
leave room such that future expansion is allowed and the network can meet the needs for the
upcoming five years. An analysis is made on the future needs such that the flaws in the
current design is identified and the network solution is developed aligning the needs of the
organization. The network needs to support BYOD and remote connection for the employees
such that they can access the network from different geographical location.
1.3. Scope of the Project
The increase in the users for each of the departments is estimated for the calculating
the IP address and subnet that are needed for configuring the network. The wireless needs of
the network and expected number of user using the wireless solution is also identified for
creating a separate subnet for the wireless network and allow the user to bring their own
device and connect it with the organizational network such that their performance can be
increased (Dong et al. 2015). An evaluation is made on the data transmission media and the
hardware identified for its implementation in the proposed network solution of AML. The
security that are needed to be enforced for increasing the efficiency and performance of the
