Introduction
This report represents the information about the company given in the scenario whose name is
“Priority Advertisement” this company is marketing and advertising firm. The building of the
company contains separate floors for each department which conduct their tasks distinctly. There
are total six different departments exists in the building on different floors these are HR,
accounting, advertising, marketing, photography and graphic design. In the duration of three-
month the company needs to shift their office for that purpose the company hired employees to
check the source of IT and upgrade them as it has been proved that with the invention of new
technologies the present techniques available in the company are obsolete and needed to be
upgraded which requires documentation. The report consists of the updated solution and the
requirements that are needed for the solution.The report also consisting of the discussion
between the IP addresses, networks and subnets .The layouts and the network that are used in
the system are also given.

Objective and Goals
In order to provide services such as networking, communication, and internet accessibility and
many other services in which the company is lacking, the company Priority Advertising needs to
create the network. In order to provide the automation the company needs to provide model
network and for that certain goals are needed to achieve these are Security of network,
Requirements of peripheral devices, Analysis of the cost, Evaluation of the cost, Communication
designs of the network, Structuring of the IP addresses, Components requirement of the network,
Preferred ISP, internet accessibility and the hardware and software requirements of the
components that are needed in the system.
The above discussed goals are need to be achieved by the company in order to update its IT
resources which should be achieved by the company in time and these goals can be completed
using various recommendations that are provided in the report with all the details and
requirements. The hired employee is responsible for achieving all the required goals that is why
this report is created so that all the information is stored in a particular place and can be apply
effectively.

Technical Solution
The technical requirements for designing the services and the network for the company Priority

produce this relation which is a database model known as networking model which is
represented in the form of graphs also known as graphical representation .For designing
the network documentation its main component is network model.The network model has
very simple design and is use to handle many to many relationships and one to one
relationship. It also consists of complete description of databases, IP address
schema,DHCP and NAT.
2. System and printer
This solution concerns on the requirements of the user who are selecting the system .The
printer is a device which is require to print the information from softcopy to hardcopy.
The system requirement of the user is required in the solution.The hired employee will use
these systems therefore the requirements by the user is main concerned. Hardware
includes hard disk, printer, and video card etc are dependent on the user the same is the
requirement needed for the software(Du, 21015).

3. Services needed in the server
The client may complete the action that server contains .Server services like FTP and
Emailing are used in which the role of FTP is to transferring information from origin to
destination or client to server.The services provided by the server are required and the
servers which are dedicated working on it.
4. Networking security
The most important part of the Priority Advertising is the security.The files and resources
with the help of wired or wireless network are vulnerable.The company uses both the
public and private IP address.The solution needs to obtain the network which is secure and
safe for the employee of Priority Advertising in order to make sure that they access
resources privately.In respect to generate the secure communication for network
company needs good security network.It requires features for security like
RouterIOS,protection for password,AAA, firewall and IDS security.
5. Internet and communication

resources and also provides many new and latest tools and technologies in which it supports new
5G technology in the system. There are many services which are measured for improving the
system’s performance in which these services depend on the networking and security support.
The networking services are –
 Email and FTP - This type of service is used in which providing practice section and also
access the files which files are available on the internet and also access these files which
are complex to share over the internet. In this service, email sends a request and also gives
a response over the network.
 DHCP (Dynamic host controller protocol) – This service is useful for providing the IP
(internet protocol) address and also IP host for the device. DHCP is also a protocol of
management in which it is used on an IP or UDP network. Dynamic host controller

protocol is used to deliver automatic and quick services for the IP address distribution over
