Network Design Project: Internetworking Technologies BN202 Report

This report outlines the design and implementation of a network solution, likely for a hotel, focusing on connecting different departments and floors using VLANs to reduce packet jitter and data loss. It details hardware requirements including Cisco switches and routers, various network cables, and server specifications. The report includes configurations of network devices such as switches and routers, specifying hostname configurations, system clock settings, and displaying IOS versions and interface names. It also touches on different IOS modes and implements security measures for servers to protect sensitive customer information. The design utilizes spanning tree protocol for maintaining hierarchy and addressing plans within the network.

IT NETWORKING DESIGNING
Scope of the Project
The followings are the scope identified for the development of the network solution for the hotel.
 To connect the different departments and floors of the hotel using different VLANs for
reducing packet jitter and data loss
 To use a proper addressing plan and spanning tree protocol for maintaining a hierarchy on
the switches.
 To secure the servers installed in the network from physical access such that the sensitive
customer information cannot be illegally accessed.

Name of the Server, Pc with Specification
The hotel network consists of two servers and it should meet the following specification for the
development of the network infrastructure and meet the current needs of the organization.
Database Server
o 2 * 2.2 Ghz CPU
o 8 Gb for 64 bit
o Windows Server 2012 R2 x 64
o Microsoft SQL Server 2012
o I Tb HDD
o Raid 1 for SQL logs
o Raid 5/10 for SQL data
o Raid 1 for Operating system
WEB Server
o 2 x 2.0 Ghz CPU
o 8 Gb Ram for 64 bit architecture
o Windows server 2012 R2 x 64
o 1 TB hard Disk
o SQL LOG files (Raid 1)
o SQL Data files (Raid 5)
The hosts connected in the network should have a minimum configuration such that the user does
not face any lag in the network:
o 2 x 1.6 Ghz dual core
o Windows 7 professional or Windows 10 enterprise edition
o 4 Gb memory for x 64 architecture
o 500 Gb minimum Hard disk space
