ICT106 DATA COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS
1. Introduction
Currently Top Network Company (TNC) had its office in a three storied building and
it has three departments each allocated a separate floor. There are 84 workstation connected
at the Administration department, 170in the marketing floor and 255 in the Sales floor. Each
of the department of the organisation used separate application server for the management of
data and the data is needed to be transferred to the other department for increasing the
efficiency of communication. The access of internet is needed to be provided to all the
workstation and the local area network is developed following the requirement of the
organization. An Ip addressing plan and a design for the local area network is created after
the identification of the requirement. The user centred design principles are followed for the
development of the network design. Users connected in different department are provided
access to the WEB and the Email server installed in the DMZ zone of the network.
