Project Description
Main objective of this project is used to analyse the international plastics network
diagram to update the each of the four locations international plastics diagrams with
recommendations for IT infrastructure improvements by using the Microsoft Visio. And, also
explain the decision on the diagram, current network risks and provide the recommendations
for mitigating the risks and improvements for the networks. These are will be discussed and
analysed in detail.
Network Diagram
1. Location 1 – China Headquarters
In this section, we are update the existing china headquarters network diagram to
provide the effective network services for china headquarters by review the existing network
and provide the recommended improvements. The Existing network diagram for china
headquarters is illustrated as below (Bianco and Neri, 2013).

1.1 Decisions
The existing network diagram for china headquarters is uses the,
 Gateway Switches
 VoIP/Data Routers
 24 port Hub - Linksys
 IBM P series Multi processor
 100 base T Ethernet standard
 Exchange server
 Network Server and More
Based on existing network, the Ethernet is used to connects the all the devices on the
network. This network uses the 100 base T Ethernet which is used to provide the 10 Mbps
data rate and maximum distance is 100 meters. So proposed network diagram, we are use the
10GBase-LX4 which is used to provide the 10 Gbps data rate and maximum distance is 300
meters and it is used to provide the effective network services for corporate headquarters and
it also provide the flexible and stable network.
1.2 Risk Summary
The existing network diagram for china headquarters is use the T3 connection firewall
and it does not use the Cisco firewall. So, it does not provide the expected security for
network infrastructure connections for an organization.
1.3 Risk Mitigation
To mitigate the risk by replace the T3 connection to Cisco firewall for proposed
network diagram which is used to provide the effective security for a china headquarters
network.
1.4 Recommended Improvements
In proposed network, we needs to updates the Ethernet routers as 10GBase-LX4,
Ethernet switch and /hub as Cisco 48 port hub and also use Cisco firewall. These are used to
provide the effective network and stable network for a china headquarters. These are also
increases the switches speeds and provide the following features such as,
 Availability
 Scalability
 High security
