1.0 INTRODUCTION
It is always advisable before any purchase of network equipment’s or even knowing the
platforms to be applied one may need to know the idea behind the problems of
communications. In the case here the network design to be put in to implementation should fit
the problems in existence in the organisation in need of the network (CPLEX:, 2007). When we
talk about the design of the network we refer to how the computers, routers, switches and
many other network gadgets are interconnected and far much the installation whether remote
or centralized and how they communicate with each other. In my discussion in explaining the
network design and the implementation of the network will major on network design,
topology and connectivity, address design and allocation, routing design, configuration
design, implementation network design and troubleshoot. A certain company that is within the
city requires a network design and all the concepts for networking needed to help in
implementing the network in the organization.
2.0 NETWORK DESIGN
There exist two major approaches used in analysing and designing networks namely the top-
down approach and the bottom-up approach. Considering the campus staff block we design
using the top-down approach making it simple when implementing. This is done by dividing
the major task in to small different design tasks making it to focus on the scope of the design
more and hence performed in a professional manner what may be termed to as what the
organization want before it submits it estimated budget. Campus staff block case after
analysing the goals, plans and the organization requirements the following design may apply
and fit better for the organization
2.0.1 SCOPE OF THE DESIGN
It is always advisable before one start gathering information and network plan it will be wise
to clearly understand the scope of the design and the analyses done thoroughly. This is
understanding the scope in that if there is any network in existence or also to know if there are
any network located in the area. what kind of network will suit the locality, the expected
hazards if the network is implemented and much more?
