NETWORK REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS AND PLAN
Project Scope and Requirement
The scope of the project is to develop a network solution for a typical lawyer firm consisting
of six departments meet their service requirement. For the development of the network the
requirement of the firm is analysed and multiple VLANs are created for each of the department for
management of their communication and restricting the departments to communicate with the
other department. The for the management of the communication the router is needed to be
configured with access control list. For increasing the flexibility of the network a wireless access
point is installed in each of the department and configured with proper encryption such that it
cannot be illegally access by the employees of other department.
Network Design and Justification
For the development of the network solution requirement of the firm and the number of
departments in the firm is analysed. A VLAN is created for each of the department and a layer three
switch is used for the configuration of VLAN and it is configured as VTP server such that the VLAN
information are automatically transferred to the client switch connected with each. The router is
configured with multiple interfaces and dhcp pool is created for each of the vlan following an IP
address plan given below. Static routing is used for connecting the department in the network and
allowing them to access the internet and the file server. The router is also configured with access
control list such that the specific group can be blocked to access the department.
