Task 1: Provide a logical/physical design of the networked system with clear
explanation and addressing table
- Physical design relates to the actual network or the specific layout of network hardware
and the actual connections between devices. A connection can be formed by two or
more devices, and when the number of links is greater than two, a physical topology is
formed. Physical connection structures are divided into smaller structures such as bus,
star, ring, tree
- The components:
+ Hardware devices: Routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, servers, and endpoint devices.
+ Connecting cables: The physical cables that connect devices.
+ Equipment Location: The physical location of equipment within a building or data
center.
- Logical Topology describes abstract aspects of the network, shows how signal transfers
from one network node to the next and how data is managed in the network regardless of
its topology. The arrangement and interaction of network devices such as star, ring, mesh.
- The components:
+ IP Addressing
+ Subnetting
+ Network Protocols
+ VLANs
The difference between physical design and logical design:
Physical layout is create based on logical design and logical layout can defined as the
mode of communicate between two or more computer using network or can easier to
know is includes data between these systems. Logical design of network is a virtual
design while the physical design of network decries the hardware functions of network.
From that we can see logical design using internet to connect or communicate between
each computer by using network while physical design communicates between that
connect by cables.
Can take an example, physical layout of a network can upgrade to link up to three office-
building. This expansion could need to require upgrade using the logical layout network.
This upgrade can make it easier to process information from any system in that building at
the same time.
From that we can know physical layout of a network is based on a single layout. And
because of that, we can explain logical design of a network can be developed or extend
by using the physical design while maintain its original characteristics.

Task 2: Evaluate the design to meet the requirements

As seen from the given picture, 3 routers are used in different floors:
+Router 1 for ground floor,
+Router 2 for first floor,
+Router 3 for second floor.
With Router 1 in ground floor, we try to connect 2 switches:
+One connects to 15 computers of teachers, 3 printers and 5 computers for managers;
+Another one affix to 13 computers for marketing staffs, 1 Web server, 1 DHCP Sever and 1
DNS Server
In next stage, I draw a connection between this router and Router 2. In here, a copper straight
is used to link Router 1 and Switch lab 1. After that, this switch connects with 25 student
computers (include 1 computer that have Giga Ethernet). Finally, Router 2 connects to
Router 3 in second floor, then it has a copper wire to reach Switch lab 2 which will connect to
another 25 student computers (include 1 computer that have Giga Ethernet).

computer performance. between them.

3) Solutions

To avoid bus topology problems, we must ensure our network design is linked
correctly, making the physical connections rigid (the devices and the cable).
With issues of the network such as signal deterioration and collisions, using
specialist software to keep an eye. Whenever we find a cable failure, we might
have to replace the cable or fix the damage with specialist equipment.
