This report provides a comprehensive analysis of IT networking design for LUCMAT LTD, a company with over 80 workstations distributed across three departments: Sales, HR, and Design. The report begins by examining network principles and protocols, including discussions on LAN, MAN, WAN, WLAN, and PAN, along with their respective merits and demerits. Various network topologies such as bus, star, and mesh are evaluated to determine the most suitable architecture for LUCMAT's needs. The study further explores network standards and protocols, emphasizing their role in facilitating communication between diverse devices. The report then focuses on selecting the optimal network and topology, identifying essential networking devices, and outlining their functionalities within the proposed network design. Detailed attention is given to creating an efficient network system, followed by rigorous testing and evaluation methodologies, including the use of ping tests. The report includes a proposed maintenance schedule and a critical reflection on the design and implementation process, culminating in recommendations for improvement and concluding remarks. Finally, the report shows the implementation and diagnosis of the network, including testing of the WIFI connections.
