OVERVIEW OF INTERNETWORKING
1. Project Scope
The aim of this project is to develop the network design for the firm having 5 departments with 5
subnets. The scope that has been identified in context to this project on designing network for the
firm are listed as below:
 Distribution of the network into five different subnets separately for each department.
 Creation of VLAN for each subnet separately and configuration of the router to support
DHCP IP addressing.
 DHCP IP addressing will be used for automated assigning of IP address to the different nodes
that are connected to each VLAN.
 Analysis of protocol that is required for networking and communication between devices for
designing the network.
 Developing an IP addressing scheme to configure interfaces of the networking devices with
required IP address along with the subnetting.
 Identifying business rules of the firm and configuring the network as per those rules so that
allow or deny can be implemented for various services.
 Documentation of the network configuration and designing prototype for the network in
simulation application to identify errors within configuration of the network.
 Determining the number of users that will be enrolled in each subnet and assigning of IP
address for the devices within the determined IP address range.
2. Project Requirements
The requirements of the project that has been determined for development of the network solution
to support operations of the firm are listed as below:
 Analysing the suitable technology and designing application for the network so that the aims
and objective of the firm can be met.
 Aligning the network for the firm as per the business rules and requirements.
 Creation of network design in Netsim Simulator application to implement the devices and
equipment in the network along with identifying the suitable routing protocols to develop
the network.
 Detailing of the network configuration along with detailed IP addressing scheme and
troubleshooting of errors in configuration of the devices.
 Application of required security measures so that communication between devices can be
kept secure and protect the network from unauthorised access.
 Configuring the server with required services so that the business rules and requirements
can be fulfilled.
 The server have to be configured such that requirements of the different departments can
be fulfilled as per their subnet.
 Analysis of the guidelines for configuring the servers as well as access points so that the
configurations are as per required standards and specifications.
 Creation of policy for network security and rules to configure the firewall so that it will be
able to allow or deny the services as per subnet for each department.
 Determining the budget required for design and development of the network along with
detailing the prices for each hardware device in the network.
 Configuration of the router having DHCP services so that IP address for the devices can be
assigned automatically.
