BN321 Advanced Network Design: Network Infrastructure Report - T2 2019

This report details the design and configuration of a Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure for an organization with branches in Sydney and Melbourne. It begins with a questionnaire to gather network requirements, followed by a network design created using Cisco Packet Tracer simulation software. The report then provides subnet classification and IP addressing details, explaining the rationale behind component choices, and concludes with a summary of the findings. The network design utilizes a hierarchical three-layered model, connecting the branches through routers and switches, and addresses the needs of various departments within each branch, including considerations for host connectivity and communication between departments. The report also includes an IP addressing scheme, subnet masks, and the use of DHCP protocol for IP assignment.
