CSC00240: Network Design Report for Sydney Office LAN and IPv4/IPv6

This report details the network design for a small media organization opening a new office in Sydney, Australia. The design encompasses the creation of four separate wired LANs, one for each department (editorial, video, print, and administration), while ensuring inter-departmental communication and wireless access throughout the floor. The report specifies hardware and software recommendations, including computers for general use, graphic production, and film production, along with the required operating systems. It outlines the technologies used, including Ethernet, wireless communication, and virtual private networks (VPNs). The logical and physical layouts are presented, including subnetting for IPv4 addressing. The report concludes with recommendations to improve interaction between different departments and ensure all employees can access resources, and it also provides references used in the design.

Executive Summary
A small media organisation is opening another office in Sydney Australia. Every department
have various offices, sharing information, programming, program and different application
that should be available over local area network. The fundamental objective of LAN is to
associate and convey every PC of the department. Contingent on the gadget like PCs,
portable, printer, scanner, copiers in every department LAN association must be plan. It is
independent company so proper ISP must be recognized and gadgets prerequisite must be
adjusting as per the distinctive department. After the gadget choice, logical and physical
format must be plan for a network.

Introduction
System and security training requires however much hands-on tests as could reasonably be
expected to let understudies to comprehend the mind boggling points. The system and
security situations ought to be tested in organize topologies which are mimicked in the
research facilities. A news media association is opening an office in Sydney Australia.For
their office space, they have leased an entire floor in a place of business in the Sydney CBD.
The leased office space is 40 m long, 35 m wide and 3.2 m high. There will be four offices
based at the workplace space: article division, video office, print office and organization
office.
Project Proposal
 Each PC must upgraded to operate with windows 10 and high hard drive
 All departments ought to have a different LAN
 Appropriate logical and system layout must be set up
 Remote access all through the floor
 Adding and updating PCs and printer
 Departments require editing software with high-speed designs (16 GB of memory)
and OS-windows 10 which use email.
 Utilization of video chats throughout the department
 All departments must available all report and resources through system

Goals and Objectives
 To overhaul all the departments
 To improve and refresh IT asset
 Arrangement IT asset in Sydney office
 Distinguish and improve correspondence prerequisite between all the offices

Propose Technology
From the above proposed technology, we need two routers, a switch and a server. We have
four different departments that is print, editorial, video and administration. For different
departments commuications, LAN and wireless network have been set-up[1].

8
• Wireless correspondence: The wi-fi innovation can falls under the IEEE802.11 standard.
This standard have number of correction and understanding like 802.11 a,b ......,h and so
forth. The system association is built up by radio wave innovation which have 2.4 GHz
recurrence range and rapid information move between short separation. Its preferred position
is accommodation, expandability, more prominent portability[2].
• Ethernet technology(LAN): It is the conventional innovation that PCs are associated by wire
in a neighborhood) that empower PC to speak with one another. It falls under IEEE802.3
standard. Its fundamental favorable position is, it is straightforward innovation where system
is tied with numerous links with ensured transfer speed.

9
• Virtual private system: This is the innovation which makes a sheltered association with the
less secure system. This innovation help to permit remote and branch office to get to the
workplace application and assets. This innovation incorporates secret key and other one of a
kind ID to get to the workplace application and assets[3].
Logical Layout
When designing a network we should have 4 subnet since News organisation has four
departments. This enables data to flow effectively[4].

10
Physical Layout
Physical design is significant for organize association, so we should allocate IP address for
every gadget associated in arrange. ISP gives us an open and private IP address, so we should
subnetting the IP address and dole out IP for organize gadgets[5].

Recommendation and Conclusion
In conclusion, department requirement must fulfil and setup computer network that ensure all
employee must access all document and resource of company according to the company
policy. The logical and physical layout must be implement along with planning and design
that improve interaction between different departments that’s help to progress organisation
outcomes.
