Campus Network Design and Implementation

In this project you are required to design a network for an IT Institute that has recently leased a building in Melbourne CBD with the aim of offering IT related courses to its students. The building will house some offices, classrooms, library, and computer labs.

The two-story building has four computer labs and each of these labs will have 20 computers having internet connectivity (19 student and 1 instructor computer). Each lab will also have a server in the closet located inside the lab. IP phones are located in each lab to communicate to service desk. The IT Institute also wants to setup four classrooms, each containing one computer which requires internet connectivity, one whiteboard, one display monitor and an IP phone.

The library will have 10 computers to allow students access to the library resources. Also, 10 computers will be made available for staff and administration. Finally, wireless network should be made available to students and staff inside campus premises.

Your task is to come up with a logical, efficient and scalable network design that will be suitable for this institute. The institute has allowed an adequate budget to purchase any networking devices that may be required, yet obviously does not want to spend more than necessary. In addition, industry-specific standards must be used and apply to IT infrastructure and services.

Write a report and include:

1. Build a document giving all the necessary network designs (enough information should be provided that will allow any technician to build your network structure from scratch).

2. Simple IP addressing solution (step by step workout of the calculations) that leaves room for growth, is easy to administer and has the minimum wastage of available IP address space.

3. Write configurations of each networking device which are included in the whole network.

4. Configure two switches and two PCs on physical networking devices and demonstrate the working model.

Demonstration: Students should be ready with all setup and configurations before start of the laboratory class. Tutor will ask 3-5 questions to each student to demonstrate any configuration of the setup. Demonstration from each student should not be more than 5 minutes.

In your report include the following contents

- Project Scope
- Detailed Network diagrams
- Project hardware requirements
- Name of the network device with manufacturer's name, series, model and ports
- Type of the cables used
- Name of the server, PC with specification such as operating system, RAM, hard disk etc.
- Network device configurations
- Include most of the suitable feature which you have studied from laboratories 1 to 6.
