Case Study: Intelli Publishing
Intelli Publishing is a small and independent publisher based in Moreton Bay with 100employees. To support its current expansion, Intelli has leased the first 3 floors (out of 10) in a commercial building.The management decides to provide each employee with a workstation and a floor cannot accommodate more than 40 workstations. Recently, you have been hired as anetwork administratorand have a junior network technician to assist with the design of a physical network for Intelli Publishing. Your first task is to write a technical report to install a physical network for connectivity between the three floors which is then connected to a demarcation point in the building. The technical report must provide enough information and justify an appropriate topology, structured cabling, equipment room, and alternative distribution panelsthat will be used to build a neat and tidy physical network. You must also justify the type of networking devices, cables used, and how you would terminate structured cabling and testthose cables.Finally, sketch an outline of the physical network and answer the following questions.
Q1. You have decided to use a network ID 192.168.4.0/24 to create three separate networks for the employees of Intelli Publishing. Do you foresee any issues with this network ID in terms of public and private addresses? In your own words, explain how you will calculate each network ID, Subnet Mask, Host ID range, no of Usable Host, and Broadcast address. Marks will be awarded only for explaining how you have calculated each network ID, subnet mask, Host ID range, no of Usable Host, and Broadcast address. You must use concepts such as host bits, subnet size, default subnet mask, subnet bits and subnets to justify your answer.Simply listing out each network ID, subnet mask, Host ID range, no of Usable Host, and Broadcast address won't be awarded marks.
Q2.The junior network technician is designing a new network and you have been approached since he can't figure out the network id of the host 10.50.229.66/23. In your own words, explain in detail how you will find this. You must also include the broadcastaddress, first usable host and last usable host to justify your answer.Simply listing out the network ID, Usable Hosts, and Broadcast address won't be awarded marks.
Q3. You are planning to redesign a Classful 172.31.0.0 network to accommodate 1000 subnets with 15 hosts per subnet.In your own words, explain what subnet masks you could use to satisfy this new requirement. You must use concepts such as host bits, subnet bits, hosts and subnets to justify your answer.Consider all possible subnets in your answer. Simply listing out subnet masks won't be awarded any marks.
Q4. The business executives of Intelli are not familiar with the concept of how a computer can ping a web server through a switch. Further, you plan to demonstrate the path a packet takes from a computer in a network to a computer in a different network through a router. Your plan is to design this network using two computers, two switches, one router and a web server. Your task is to provide step by step instructions to the junior network technician so that he can demonstrate how a computer can ping a web server through a switch to the business executives. Further, explain and justify which network diagnostic tool would be the best to demonstrate the path of a packetfrom a computer in a network to a computer in a different network through a router. You must use concepts such as IP addresses, connection cables, ARP, TTL and ICMP to justify your answer.
