Network Design Proposal - Assignment_2
INTRODUCTION
Network can be defined as a group which helps in connecting two or more computers or
system or devices together (Kobo, Abu-Mahfouz and Hancke, 2017). It not only helps in
connecting two or more devices together but also helps in exchanging data between devices
using connection between nodes. There are various kinds of network that are available that can
be used to connect two or more than two devices together like LAN, MAN, WAN and many
more. Each of them are used as per the network requirements of the system, devices or
organization. The main aim of this assignment is to propose and design a network solution for a
small medium enterprise. This assignment will further include requirements of the network that
will be used to propose a solution, high level design solution.
Organization Chosen:
A small Flee technology company of internet of things business has been chosen. This
business has been chosen because organizations in this business are required to have a strong and
secure network in order to maintain their data or information and communication connection as
well. This company is an information technology company that focuses on connecting people
through space technology. They sell various kinds of network portal to the companies. Flee is a
small-scale business with less than 50 employees and is located in Beverley, SA Australia. They
provide services like Internet of things, satellite communication etc.
REQUIREMENTS
There are various components or things that are required to propose a solution so that proper
service can be delivered according to the network capacity (Agrawal and et.al., 2017). These
requirements will focus on all the end to end connections, technologies that will be used in
designing a solution, protocols, security aspects and many more. These requirements will
include: Network and service requirements, security requirements, wireless network
requirements. Below explained are the general terminologies that are mostly used in network
designing.
Bandwidth: bandwidth is a maximum rate at which data is transferred between devices across a
given path. These bandwidths are extremely important whenever network design comes into
picture and is used in wireless/wired communication, digital communication etc. there are three
types of bandwidth that are commonly used: network bandwidth, digital bandwidth and data
bandwidth.

Connection: Connectivity is another important requirement of the network. In order to access
network, it is important to have connectivity within the network. Old network used to use
ethernet cables for direct physical connectivity but today most of the times wireless bridge setups
are used for connectivity that helps in connecting to its core switches (Gao and et.al., 2016). But
for wired connection ethernet cables are used.
Interface: Interface is a kind of interconnection point between devices and network. These
interfaces are used to provide redundancy between switches, routers, aggregation switches etc.
All network interfaces have some kind of network address which further consist of node
identifier, node ID, port number. Basic function of these interfaces is connecting, disconnecting
and message passing.
Server: Server is a kind of computer system which is used as a central repository of various
programs, data that are mainly shared by users present in the network. There is no need to buy a
new system for server, old unused systems can also be used as network servers for the systems
but it should have huge storage space so that all kind of data can be stored within it without any
errors or issues.
Router: Router is another most commonly used network device with is mainly used to forward
any kind of data packets between systems that are connected to each other within a network
(Shangin and Pardalos, 2016). A router is located at gateway of the network and is connected to
two or more than two devices are connected to a network. It can also be said that routers are used
to perform traffic directing function on the internet. There are various kinds of routers like
virtual, core, edge, wired or wireless routers.
Firewall: Another important element which is required to be used when designing a network is a
Firewall. It is a kind of a system which is mainly used to prevent unauthorized access from a
network. It can be used in both the forms i.e. in the form of hardware and software or in both the
forms.
Devices: there are various kinds of devices are used within a network design such as secure
network devices, access network devices, computer systems connecting devices and many more.
Different types of devices are used for different purposes
Core Switches: Core switches are high capacity switches that are placed at the backbone of the
network. These switches serve as a gateway for internet or WAN. In simple words its work is to
move a packet from point A to point B as fast as possible.
