NETWORK DESIGN FOR OFFICE BUILDING
Network cabling plan
For connecting the workstation with the switch installed in the closet cat 6 cables are
needed to be used since it supports power over Ethernet and has bandwidth of 200 MHz. Cat 6
cables can be combined with AWG conductor for the reduction of signal noise and interference.
It can support 10000mb/s transfer speed for a range of 100 meters. The cat 6 cables are needed
for the installation of wireless access point and reduces the need of electrical power outlet and
thus reduces the cost of network deployment in the office.
Network device specification
For the development of the network framework Cisco devices are used since it provides a
wide range of product for different working environment and is known for the long term stability
of its products. The following are the network devices installed in the first floor of the building:
2 x Cisco SG300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch
1 x Cisco 2900 Series router
The following are the network devices installed in the Second floor of the building:
2 x Cisco SG300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch
The following are the network devices installed in the 3rd floor of the building:
2 x Cisco SG300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch
Connection between servers and network devices
Four servers are installed in the second floor of the building and one of them is
configured as file server, second one as email server, third as application server and the fourth as
