IT NETWORKING DESIGNING
Part A
Analysis and Identification of Current Infrastructure
The report is prepared for Idesign for the development of their campus network with
5000 users accessing the network from different location in the campus. Currently there are 3
building in the campus, the main building have 3000 students, building A have 1000 students
and building B have 1000 students. For each of the building wireless access is needed to be
provided in the lobby area for allowing the user to connect their wireless device and access the
network. The 10 client computers in each of the building is connected with the domain server
located in the main building. Currently internet sharing is needed DHCP service and DNS
configuration is needed to be enabled for meeting the needs of the user.
Development of a Design Plan
The design plan is created after analyzing the number of buildings and users needed to be
provided the access of the campus network. The services that are required is also analyzed for
the preparation of the design. An IP addressing plan is created for the campus and the network is
segmented for the users and the servers such that the servers are kept in different subnet and the
users cannot have direct access of the server. Separate router is used for each of the building and
a layer 3 switch is used for the management of distribution of the network. The distribution and
access level devices are connected using redundant link such that the data packet can reach the
destination address avoiding congestion.

Analysis of network requirement
For the development of the network an analysis is made on the current needs of the users
and it has been found that the network solution is needed to have a wireless access point for each
of the building. The main building is needed to have DNS, DHCP, FTP and WEB server for
facilitating the student to drop their class work and enabled to be accessed by the faculties. The
servers are needed to be configured with group management policy for enabling authorization,
authentication and access control on the network. Three routers are needed for each of the
building and 9 layer three switches configured with VTP for enabling centralized control on the
network. For the servers Microsoft windows Server 2016 is needed to be used such that the
VMWare is needed to be used for enabling virtualization of the server and handling the loads on
the network.
