In this assignment, you are to design a network to incorporate the following:

Corporate Site (Chicago)

All servers exist here (Web server, file server, print server, mail server, ftp server)
Connection to the Internet (50mbps)
300 employees who only need access to local corporate resources and the Internet

20 employees who need access to all resources at corporate plus the Internet

Connection to the Internet (3mbps)

Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, design a network diagram, particularly with defense in depth in mind which depicts:

All network devices used (routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, VPNs, proxies, and / or others)

The interconnections between network devices

The end user (client) devices (desktops, laptops)

The Internet cloud, generically, to represent your network's interface to the Internet
