PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION A AND B SEPARATELY:
Design an appropriate local area network infrastructure for
StarTech. You must as a minimum include switches, wired
workstations, servers, an Internet connection (hence a router and
firewall) and wireless access points in your design.
a. Provide logical network diagrams showing how the organisation
might provide the required services and connections. This may be
one or more diagrams as you see fit. Any suitable drawing package
can be used and you will not be graded on the drawings themselves;
just the network design. Look on line to see many examples of how
to draw network diagrams.
b. Outline the cabling requirements for your design. You will
obviously need a basic plan of the organisation for the physical
layout design to determine the cabling requirements. You can use
the information given in the scenario above to sketch a plan of the
organisation’s site. Identify and justify the type(s) of cable
used. Provide rough costs based on referenced supplier information
found by searching the Internet. Since the organisation is in the
UK, the supplier and price must be UK based.
Case Study:
StarTech is a Manchester-based skills training institute that
offers onsite computing training programmes in hardware,
networking, security, programming, databases, web development and
computer graphics. They employ 10 full-time admin staff plus a
number of part-time trainers. They currently have around 200
students attending different course in morning and evening
sessions. The site is in one building over two floors. It has 4
labs each equipped with 30 PCs. There are dedicated PCs for each of
the Admin staff that use 2 offices. The trainers share 10 PCs that
have been placed in a staff room. The Director has his personal
computer attached to a dedicated printer in his office. There are 2
PCs dedicated in the IT Room for the Network Assistants. Currently
all the students, staff, and trainer details are held on PCs
including the sensitive accounts data. There have been various
instances of data breach in the past whereas the issues arising
from data inconsistency are a daily occurrence. The institute is
currently unable to keep track of the printing quota for the staff
and the students. There have been complaints from the Network
Assistant about students downloading unlicensed software on the lab
PCs and accessing malicious websites. The institute is also
considering extending WiFi access to the students that is currently
being offered to the staff and trainers only. The director has
decided that the solution to their problem lies in networking
solution. Since StarTech have just recruited you, straight from
this course, as a computer expert. The director has asked you to
produce a suitable network solution. They are interested in both
the technical aspects of the solution and, of course, the
costs.
