Networks

Assignment 1
[Answer all questions and submit on or before. 08th October 2024]

You have been asked for design computer network for newly constructed two storied building at
faculty of Engineering University of Ruhuna. This building consists of Computer labs, Lecture rooms,
Library and a set of offices.

Building dimensions:
Length: 240 Feet, Width: 95 Feet, Height: 30 Feet

Building requirements are given below.


There are 2 main computer labs that will be used for MATLAB and CAD practical sessions.
Each lab can occupy computers ( for students and 1 for the Teaching Assistant) and also
a server in a closet located inside the lab.

In addition to the two computer labs, there will also be a student computer lab that will.
provide computer access to students to do their homework. There will be 5 computers in
this lab and a server in the closet. This area should have Wi-Fi network.

The library will also have some computers to allow students to access library resources. There
will be 10 computers for student's use in the library, and 5 computers for Library Staff.
There are lecture rooms in the building. Each room contains a computer which is to be used
by a lecturer.

Two server rooms have been allocated, one on the first floor, another on the second.

Finally, the building contains several offices as well. There are 15 offices for lecturers which
has 1 computer in each of them, with the exception of the main office that can occupy 10
computers for staff use.
Your task is to design the network for the new building satisfying following criteria:
- Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from staff accessed computers. The
whole building will share one Internet access connection. Assume that the Internet connection will
be patched to the Server room on the first floor.
- There should be email server for handling faculty email.
- It wants to setup 1 web server to host the faculty website and also 1 file server on which students
can access course materials from home. Each of these will be allocated a different DNS name.
- Wireless network in student computer lab should be made available to students which can allow
internal access to the file and web server but not to the internet.

- The network should have 10. .0.0 address for all computers and devices. For Internet routing use

191.1.1 /29 network address.


1. Define the subnet (based on: rooms, floor, department, or other criteria.)
2. For each subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, Gateway IP and available IP
addresses to be used by computers or devices.

Physical Design:
Define the topology that will be used.
Select the appropriate network media to use.
Select the appropriate network connecting devices, links and redundancies.
Physical layout of computers on the floor plan.
List additional servers or network devices needed to implement the network.
Design a WAN connection for this building

You will be evaluated by your ability to:


Implement appropriate IP addressing scheme.
Select and justify appropriate cable media.
Select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus, or ring for your network.
Select and justify your selected network equipment.
Select and justify appropriate network services to meet network requirements.
Select and justify security implementation of the network.
Important:

You have the freedom to make any assumptions in the process of your design. But you must
specify them accordingly.
