3. Analysis of User Requirements (Requirement engineering)
As per business and technical goals, this section describes and organises user requirements (make
any assumption needed if you wish about the user groups, location, application, etc.)
May have sub sections such as:
3.1 Mobility Requirements: due to the fact that the uSoft.com has 2 different branches and 1 HQ,
mobility is very important. This leads to the fact that the management of the undertaken project will
require wireless technology in completion of the tasks
3.2 Security requirements: Implementation of the control access and firewall will be enacting
beneficial for the uSoft.com. With the help of these security techniques uSoft.com can perform their
functionality in an efficient manner
3.3 Bandwidth requirement: The Ethernet bandwidth must range from 25 Mbps to 1000 Mbps
3.4 Application requirement: the application that will be setup must be having high robustness
as per the security cooncern
3.5 Remote access requirement: Remote access requirements are one of the main aspect of
uSoft.com. The fact that the functioning of uSoft.com will be performed with the help of the data
management from the HQ. This management of the entire data system is performed from a single
office.
4. Logical Design
This section contains all aspect of the proposed solution in details with justification.
May have sub sections such as:
4.1 Security: this sub-section describes (and justifies) your proposed solution such as VPN, location
of firewall, access control, anti-malware, DMZ if any, etc.
VPN
Implementation of the Tunneled Connections in the uSoft.com will help in sending data in a private
manner over the digital platform. With the help of the VPN service encapsulation, data transaction is
performed. This leads to the fact that the data that are transferred do not leak the personal data of the
sender. This helps in increasing robustness in the security of the uSoft.com
Location of firewall
With the help of proper implementation of the firewall in uSoft.com, the main advantage that is
received includes isolation of the computing system. Firewall helps in selection of the ports. This
ensures the fact that the management of the project will be better performed. uSoft.com will also gain
benefits in this section as the usage of internet will get more secure.

Access Control
Access control is the technique that decides the permissibility of the data access. Access Control
ensures the fact that the risk assessment can be performed in a better manner. This leads to the fact
that the data that are stored in the data base of uSoft.com will stay protected and accessing of
unauthorized personnel will not be allowed. This security system uses the personification of identity
of the personnel who can approach the data, this will help uSoft.com to realise the imposters who are
present and function accordingly
Anti-malware
With the help of the Antimalware system, the min advantage that will be enjoyed by uSoft.com is that
they can stay protected from the viruses that might be present. With the help of the antimalware
system, with different branches and several computing system introduction of Malware can harm the
functioning of the uSoft.cm. This might affect the processing of beneficially conducting of the
business. This is the main reason that the management of the uSoft.com requires better management
of the system.
DMZ
With the help of the implementation of the DMZ, uSoft.com gets benefitted as the DMZ isolates the
public server of the organization from the other LAN services. In case unauthorized access to the
organization is checked in and the issues that are present are discarded. With the help of DMZ, easy
route to the LAN system is closed and this is the main reason that the processing of the entire system
is performed with compromised server setting. These are the main reasons that uSoft.com will be
benefitted on using the terminology of the DMZ.
4.2 Wireless Networks: this sub-section describes and justifies your proposed solution such as
location and no of APs, subnet, security, etc.
The mobility of the networking system is very important in processing of the project. This
ensures the fact that the management of the project will be performed with the help of the
wireless networking system. As there are 1 HQ and 2 branches of the office. This ensures the
fact that the management of the project will get easier. Hence the productivity of uSoft.com
will get better. Robustness of the wireless network is also comparatively high and hence this
will affect the uSoft.com in a better manner. Even in cases of disasters that might occur,
people in different branches and the HQ can communicate with each other. With the help of
the usage of the subnet system, the main advantages that are present includes improved speed
and network performance. With the help introduction of the subnet by the uSoft.cm, a single
broadcast packet is used for sending the data to the each and every device present. With the
help of the access point implementation, uSoft.com will be well performing and this is the
main reason that the projection of the uSoft.com will be performed in a better manner
4.3 Virtual LANs: this sub-section describes and justifies (benefits) your proposed solution for
VLANs including no of VLANS, user groups, routing between inter VLANs, etc.
4.4 In case of using the VLAN service the main advantage that is present
includes the fact that the user can gain access to their functioning process. This

insists the facts that prosecution of the shift in membership. In case the job role
or the job location is changed, the main advantage that will be taken into
consideration incudes the fact that the employee can just shift their job location
and log into different management portals for continuing their services.
uSoft.com with 2 branches and 1 HQ gets benefited from the system. VLAN
acts beneficial in progression of the management as per the diversity of the
location of the object.
4.5 With the help of the introduction of the user group in uSoft.com, the main
advantage that is present in the projection includes the fact that the connectivity
in between the different employees of different organization increases and the
job that is ti be performed by the employees of different branches in a
collaborative manner gets performed in a better manner. With the help of the
introduction of the VLAN, the main advantage that might be enjoyed by
uSoft.com is that the usage of A Layer 3 switch is not required. This systems
also helps in provisioning of better communication.
5. IP Address Allocation Plan: this section describes and justifies IP subnetting, static and
dynamic address allocation, etc.
May have sub sections
5.1 IP Subnetting: The IP address is provided with the subnet mask number that
helps in recognizing the host address. Virtually distinguishing the private
network in terms of the network administrator is well defined. With the help of
the IP subnetting, uSoft.com can prevent broadcasts that are unnecessary in
nature. Security options also increase as per the functioning of the uSoft.com
5.2 Static addressing: With the help of the introduction of the static addressing
uSoft.com will get benefitted in terms of hosting of the servers that contain data
regarding the computing accessories as per the location of the server from a
distinct location.
5.3 Dynamic addressing: with the help of the implementation of the dynamic
addressing performed by the uSoft.cm, static data address can be saved and the
shortage of the static data addresses can be resolved
