Introduction
Planning a network basically focuses on the topology and arrangement of network devices. The design
process varies with the available devices and size of the network. Computer information networks
basically are a medium of communication and resource sharing. In both local and enterprise network, it
connects people, supports applications and their services and provides channels and entree to resources
that basically keep the communication consecutively [1]. On the other side such as business school or
any other field, the network must be able to adjust to changing traffic barriers and be able to sustain the
consistence of data flow. This report explains network design and implementation process of a company
that has five departments and the network is divided into five subnets.
Project scope
This is a network design of an organization that has 5 Departments. This network is further divided into
five subnets. The departments are interlinked in such a way that they are able to communicate but only
the Human Resource and the Finance departments have free access to all services in the network while
engineering departments have access to file server and print server but not the department server.
Preferably, in any data communication, the project should be planned and designed in the form of the
organization information strategy context. Internet being the backbone of network today, it will be
implemented in the network. The following are some of the goals that this process will aim to fulfil [2].
 Verify the goal and the need of the network plan and implement it
 To determine the basic features and functions that are to be implemented.
 To create a solution and an acceptance test plan.
After all this have been attained, the proposed network plan will be implemented. Communication is
very vital to any business organization and thus the implementation of a network that is scalable and
meets the requirements of the 5 departments will be the main objective. It requires an overall strategic
vision that is comprehensive and detailed enough to be useful.
