CSC00240: Network Design for Advanced Medicos Limited Report

This report analyzes the network requirements of Advanced Medicos Limited (AML), a medical institute, and presents a proposed network design, alongside an examination of the current network infrastructure. The report begins with a brief overview of AML and then delves into the requirements of both the existing and proposed networks, including device counts and departmental needs. It then discusses the necessary network topologies, including LAN, WAN, and WLAN, to accommodate AML's expansion and BYOD functionality. Following an analysis of network requirements, the report details the current and proposed physical network topologies, incorporating elements like edge routers, firewalls, and wireless access points. The IP addressing section explains the CIDR method used for subnet allocation in both network infrastructures, providing detailed tables outlining IP address ranges, subnet masks, and assignable IP addresses. The report concludes with observations, summarizing the key aspects of the network design and IP allocation strategies.
