Summary
The purpose of this report is about analysing the requirements of the network of AgroXYZ
and identifying the key networking topologies in use. The report also discusses the concepts
of networking technologies that are essential for AgroXYZ to implement the network. These
are the Internet, IMS, VPRN and PSTN. Additionally, the Enterprise LAN network of
AgroXYZ comprises of a MPLS, VPN, LPWAN, WLAN, VoIP and wireless cellular
network. The report elaborates use and implementation of these facilities with the help of a
consolidated network design of AgroXYZ’s network infrastructure. The routing table is also
given and the subnetting of the network gets explained. The report proceeds to list the
services and applications used by the network as also explaining the interfaces and terminal
necessary to implement the network. Then the report evaluates how the specific facilities are
ensured by the network and ends with concluding notes.

Introduction
This report analyses the network requirements of AgroXYZ and identifies the key
networking topologies being used. After providing the requirements summary the report
discusses concepts of networking technologies that are required by AgroXYZ for
implementing the network which are the Internet, IMS, VPRN and PSTN. The Enterprise
LAN network of AgroXYZ comprises of a MPLS, VPN, LPWAN, WLAN, VoIP and
wireless cellular network which gets elaborated when the report presents and discusses the
consolidated network design of AgroXYZ’s network infrastructure (Rojas et al., 2018). Then
the routing table is given and the subnetting of the network gets explained. The report
proceeds to list the services and applications used by the network as also explaining the
interfaces and terminal necessary to implement the network. After that the report evaluates
how the specific facilities are ensured by the network and ends with observations in the
concluding section.
Solution Design
Background of the Company
AgroXYZ is the company that has been set up for providing solutions on integrated
commodity management for the grains industry across the world. By combining intuitive
workflows with their industry expertise and technical excellence, they ensure that logistical
risks are reduced and customer issues, effectively addressed.
Problem
The company AgroXYZ has very few staff to cater to the customers it wants to serve
globally. A major issue is about logistics as growing demand is placing extensive stress on
the company. Since company staff do not usually work in a fixed place, the traditional
workstation-based operation is turning problematic. Also maintaining business process
