ABC Company Network Infrastructure and IP Addressing Report

This report details the network infrastructure and IP addressing for the ABC company, encompassing network design, configuration, and cloud computing considerations. The report begins with a logical network design diagram and justification, followed by IP address assignments for different network segments (NET-A, NET-B, NET-C) and subnet configurations. It provides detailed configuration commands for routers RA, RB, and RC, including interface settings and routing protocol implementation (RIP). The report also includes configurations for switches SW-A, SW-B, and SW-C. Furthermore, the report addresses the adoption of virtualization and cloud computing, proposing Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure as suitable cloud service providers for hosting the company's email and web servers. It justifies the choice by explaining the services offered by each provider and demonstrates how cloud computing supports dynamic scaling through autoscaling features in both AWS and Azure, enhancing resource utilization and cost management. The report serves as a comprehensive guide to network infrastructure and cloud computing solutions for the company.

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND IP ADDRESSING
Task A: Report with details of Network Design and Configuration
Requirements
The network of the company ABC, is to consist of 3 routers, each of which serving a
particular network with a full subnet dedicated to them.
The network connects the workstations present in the networks segments through their
specific switches.
The network should be able to facilitate network communications between the different
network segments through any kind of routing protocol.
Logical Design
Figure 1: Network Design Diagram of company ABC
Justification
The network design as can be found from the logical design presented above shows the
network of the company ABC. Effective routing protocols and IP address configuration for
the different network segments through the routers and switches ensure that the links to these

networks are up and running. The configuration also allows for transmission of data packets
from one host device of a network segment to the host device of another network segment as
also within the same network segment.
