ICT106 DATA COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS
1. Introduction
The report is prepared for Top Network Company (TNC)for the development of a
network solution. The network solution is designed after a detailed analysis of the building
floor plan of the organization and analysing the number of departments connected in the local
area network. The company have three departments namely administration, marketing and
sales and each of the department is assigned with a separate floor. There are 53 workstation

designing a local area network for the organization demonstrating all the workstation and
servers installed in the network. The topology that is followed for the development of the
network is analysed for the selection of protocols that should be used for the configuration of
the network device.
