NETWORK DESIGN AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
The process of evaluating, understanding and scoping the network which is to be
implemented is known as network designing. It is generally performed by the engineers who
represents the network design as the network diagram. The network design includes several other
things like the logical map of the desired network, the cabling structure, quantity, location and
the type of the network devices like the routers, servers and the switches (Govindan et al. 2016).
IP addressing structures are also among the prime requirements along with the architecture for
network as well as overall security. The purpose of the report is the development of a network
infrastructure for a client named alm.co.uk that have four departments. An analysis is made on
the number of users and their requirement for the development of the network. The network
model that can be implemented for development of the network is evaluated and discussed in the
report for improving the scalability and security of the network.
Functional and Non Functional Requirement
The functional requirement identified for developing the network solution for alm.co.uk.
are stated below:
 To allow users to connect their wireless devices with the developed network
 To restrict the access of the users for a department to connect with the other
department subnet
 To use redundant link such that the data packet can flow between the different
host with minimum delay and packet loss
 To reduce congestion in the network and allow users to connect with the network
from remote location
