IT NETWORKING DESIGNING
Executive Summary
The report is prepared for MonkeyNet Canberra Hospital for the up gradation of the current
network infrastructure and connect with the different floors of the building. The main
requirement of the organization is to reduce the load on the current network and improve the
security of the network framework. The remote clinic connected with the network and efficient
bandwidth is allocated for reducing congestion in the network channel. The drawback of the
current network infrastructure is found and a solution is created for reducing the network
downtime and increasing the efficiency of the solution. Wireless routers are also installed with
different subnet for increasing the flexibility of the network. Logical and physical network
diagram is created for the development of the network solution. The requirement of the customer
is analyzed for the development of the network design and aligning the business process for the
deployment of the networking device in the organization. The cost of the devices and calculated
by creating a project schedule and assigning resources for the development of the network
infrastructure. The cost of the project should be calculated for preparation of a budget plan and a
proper planning is made for the advancement of the project. The network design is created
according to the project plan and the network design is created into two different parts such as
logical design and physical design for segmenting the network and making the requirement clear.
A network development model is selected for the development of the network infrastructure and
flexibility and scalability of the network is considered for the development of the network. A
layer 3 switch is used for the network and different VLAN are created for the different
departments for reducing congestion in the network. The routers are configured with access
control list for denying access of the unauthorized users and securing the network. The main aim
of the network administrator is to reduce the network downtime and develop the network
infrastructure within the estimated project budget. The project implementation plan is created

and project scope is developed for allowing the network to expand according to the growth of the
organization. The network should be able to tolerate fault and the servers installed in the network
should be installed in a separate zone for blocking the physical access of the servers. The
network design meets all the business requirement and goals of the organization for increasing
the efficiency of the network. An IP subnet plan is created for the development of a high level
security design and proper routing and switching protocol is used for communicating with the
remote clinics connected with the network. For increasing the security of the network solution
firewall is used and the unwanted traffic are blocked. A class B IP address is used and proper
subnet is used for the allowing the host to be connected in the network. Internal NAT is used and
wireless access point is installed in different location of the campus for allowing the authorized
users to connect their wireless device with the organizational network.
