Submission format
Part 1
The submission is in the form of an individual written report. This should be written in a concise, formal business
style using single spacing and font size 12. You are required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as
appropriate, and all work must be supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system.
Please also provide a bibliography using the Harvard referencing system. The recommended word limit is 2,000–
2,500 words, although you will not be penalized for exceeding the total word limit.

Part 2
The submission is in the form of an individual evidence portfolio.
 A LAN design plan and blueprint and justification document.
 A fully completed test plan including an evaluation of results and recommendations for improvements to
LAN.
 A proposed and justified maintenance schedule.
Part 3
 Evidence of an implemented network.
You are required to make use of headings, paragraphs, subsections and illustrations as appropriate, and all work
must be supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system.

INTRODUCTION
This Assignment of mine consisted of 4 main parts: LO1 Examine networking principles and their protocols, LO2 Explain networking
devices and operations, LO3 Design efficient networked systems, LO4 Implement and diagnose networked systems.
In the section p1: Examine networking principles and their protocols, I presented the network, Network type and Protocol,
Standards. Part p2 includes Network topology definition and Communication, Bandwidth.

P1 Discuss the benefits and constraints of different network types and standards.
1.Define network.
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files,
or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves,
satellites, or infrared light beams.
2. Two very common types of networks include:
 Local Area Network (LAN)
 Wide Area Network (WAN)
 You may also see references to a Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), a Wireless LAN (WLAN), or a Wireless WAN
(WWAN).
 Local Area Network (LAN)
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that is confined to a relatively small area. It is generally limited to a
geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building.
On a single LAN, computers and servers may be connected by cables or wirelessly. Wireless access to a wired network
is made possible by wireless access points (WAPs). These WAP devices provide a bridge between computers and
networks. A typical WAP might have the theoretical capacity to connect hundreds or even thousands of wireless users
to a network, although practical capacity might be far less.
 Wide Area Network (WAN)
Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect networks in larger geographic areas, such as Florida, the United States, or the
world. Dedicated transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be used to connect this type of global network.
