Firstly, thenumber of ports available in the switches and the hubs are 24. There are a number of softwareapplications that are to be supported by the network and also the large amount of data sets isresiding on the departmental servers. In addition to this, there is a requirement to support theemail services by the servers. In addition to this, for the intranet within the office is veryimportant for the organization. The company also has a very limited budget and the hence theuse of devices has to be of optimal costs. In addition to the requirements provided by thecompany it is also assumed that the sever room for the building would be located on the firstfloor. The sever should be guarded by proper measures of authentication within the building sothat the all the staffs of the company would not be having equal accessibility to the server room.The server room and the server systems are to be accessed only by the administrator. In additionto this it was also assumed that the network has a requirement of remote access to it. Hence thenetwork system is designed taking these assumptions into account.

2NETWORK DESIGNING Justification for the networkThe network has been designed according to the requirements that were stated by thecompany. The first criteria of the company were to connect a number of workstations to thenetwork of the company. The workstations were to be divided into three groups as there werethree departments of the company. The switches that were to be used in the network consisted of24 ports. Hence the departments of the general support and sales that consisted of 28 and 30workstations each. These departs required 3 switches each. The marketing department ofcompany consisted of only 10 workstations and hence, the department had the requirement ofonly one switch only. In addition to this the company needed the functions of email and intranetwithin the network and hence a FTP and mail server were to be installed into the network. Inaddition to this, a database server is to be installed into the network. Hence, the network that isdesigned would be able to perform all the required activities as stated by the company.Recommended local area network wiring For the wiring in the network the use of CAT5 cables are to be used. The CAT5 wiresare very cheap and also very reliable. These are the twisted pair cables that can provided aperformance up to 100 Mhz. The CAT 5 or else known as the category 5 cable were released inthe year 2001. They are generally connected by the Punch down blocks within the network. Mostof these cables are unshielded and are generally dependent on the differential signaling for thenoise rejection. In addition to this some wireless devices can also be used in the network. AWIFI router is also being installed into the network. JustificationThe CAT 5 would be very useful for the network as this would reduce the cost ofimplementation of the network to a great extent. This is also very useful as the cables can
