The University has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland to house offices, classrooms, library, and computer labs. The goal of this proposal is to design a network for these facilities. The Student computers are to be on a separate network from the staff computers. The facility will share one Internet connection (T-1 link from Verizon).
With a T-1 link the network will be able to function with the speed of 1.544 mbps over 24 channels each running 64 kbps (Labsim).
Security is always a big concern and has been taken into consideration. Additional considerations for each floor/classroom/lab/office include printing capabilities and the WiFi (Wireless Access) in the Student Lobby.
The network design plan requested by UMUC for the newly acquired building in Adelphi, Maryland is required to deliver an IP addressing scheme for efficient IT administration and also allow for scalability for future expansion. The use of subnetting or breaking the network down into smaller subnets, will minimize the broadcast traffic that each network node must process and also increase the performance of the network. For the network infrastructure devices including switches, servers, router, and printers, a static IP address should be selected by the network administrator. The subnets that were chosen for the network proposal are broken down into five different subnets. One being used for the six instructional computer labs, one for the student computer lab, one for the six different offices, one for the library, and one for the five lecture class rooms. The network address given by UMUC of 10.11.0.0 is a class A network address that will be used in creating six total subnets for the network. The IP address ranges for the different subnets being used on this network are proposed below. The subnets can be defined by the table below:
The Essay on Access Point Network Router Computer
The main purpose of this project was to change the network architecture in such a way as to allow lab computers easier network access without being bound by lengthy network wiring. The lab computers are often moved around from project to project and easy network access was becoming a problem. After a detailed analysis of the current setup, it was determined that installing a wireless network in ...
