Question

You are the new network administrator at a small company that is composed of 3 departments: general support, marketing, and sales. General support occupies the first floor, while marketing and sales are on the second floor. General support has 28 workstations, marketing has 10 workstations, and sales has 30 workstations. IT is part of the general support department and has a computer room on the first floor. Some applications require that data be transferred between departments, but generally each department has its own applications. Everyone needs access to the Internet, the company’s intranet, and e-mail. Design a local area network solution for your company. Show the locations of all workstations and interconnecting devices, such as hubs, switches, and routers if any are used. Show also the connection to the outside service that provides Internet access. What type of LAN wiring would you recommend? DRAW a floor plan for EACH floor. Use the following assumptions: 1. Available hubs and switches have a maximum of 24 ports. 2. Some software applications and large data sets reside on departmental servers. 3. To support email, a server is needed. 4. To support the company intranet, a server is needed. 5. The company does not have an unlimited budget but is willing to invest in quality technology. (You don’t have to specify BRANDS of computers or devices).

Explanation / Answer

I want to describe the Local Area Network which can connect with all floor connection locally.

The IP address 127.0.0.1:255 is assign to IT department in 1st floor and then IP address 127.0.0.1:254 is assign to next of the general department which is on 1st floor.

so we have to give address assignment to LAN in following order :

We need to require 3 switch and 1 hub between them to connect the LAN wire. 1 switch is for General, another for Marketing and rest one is for Sales.

All three connected through hub and hub is connected to server.

General department :

IT (127.0.0.1:255)

127.0.0.1:254

127.0.0.1:253

127.0.0.1:252 and so on

Marketing department :

127.0.0.2:254

127.0.0.2:253

127.0.0.2:252 and so on

Sales department :

127.0.0.3:254

127.0.0.3:253

127.0.0.3:252 and so on
