Question

You have been called in to consult on a new network design for XYZ company. The requirements of this design are summarized as follows: on F The building has 3 floors There are 300 user workstations and 10 servers. Users must be grouped according to the projects they're working on, but users for each project are located on all three floors. There must be fault tolerance for communication between the floors. The company leased a building across the street. The owner is concerned about how to connect to the building across the street, He thinks the cost of contracting with a communication provider is too expensive for such a short distance. What devices, types of mediums and topologies are you going to use for this network and why? [5 marks] What solution can you suggest for connecting the building across the street with the existing the building? [5 marks) (5+5= 10 marks]

Answer 1

is are we user cah use wireless there a or an good Network Communication is Well considering all the specification there available about Since talking whole three floor floor building with 300 work station Retwork but is a chance of network breakdown So to avoid them we are taking devias like rociter's which are Connected to the pe's and the type of 'medium is obviously Cable optical libre for network connections. Since there won't any break down if soil and different topologies are for a two way response is Star topology Since the people are working the project which Star topology Every the network is directly connected the cable's. This way the remaining work won't stop The other po's be we there but on are located on all three floor. This is Caid Out So node one Central hub. Through if one pc' is down Than will Continue their work

may be ahead and are Cost And for connecting the building building across the Street 7 Gess. Street 15 to 50 melo If Concerned about too 3 would Suggest to with the go LAN This network interconnects with Computers in limited like universities office building This neturik not only Covers Carger geographic distance too. and it involves reased telecommunicahory. O are or a also a and cany Cable for making Can Connechon we would be needing optical fibers routers and some switches. and a cless points ho And the data transfer rate is 100 mbps to And the maximum Cength 1000 mbps. to km. depending Can Cover is to km Can Though but compared on the type of fiber. Through LAN workstations Share peripheral devices like printers At first it can be expensive other networking Cost much. And to Nowa -days LAN in LAN is dal the speed rati Satisfitable. This one can way make Connecting the buildings.
