Mn621 Smart Trends E-Business Assessment Answers

Write a report on a network plan and configurations having following sections:

1. Analyse the need for the network for above case study. Investigate and propose a suitable complete network design for the case study.
2. Write a detailed setup of network devices only for a LAN.

3. Write a detailed implementation report which includes configurations of each networking device which are included in the whole network.

4. Demonstrate and compare at least 2 configuration results which may include at least two switches/routers and two PCs on physical networking devices. 

Smart Trends e-business is a fast upcoming business in the Malcony City. The growth witnessed  is not only as a outcome of merger between two business enterprises but also quality services offered by our mentioned company and trust this company has won from its customers. As a result of this, Smart Trends e-business Company has decided to come up with a spacious office that will enable the e-commerce business perform its duties with respect to client requirements. In this task we are tasked to design the network and implement it according to WXY e-business requirements.

Project hardware requirements

Device Name	Manufacture Name	Series	Model	Ports	Quantity	Justification
Router	Cisco Systems	2900	Cisco	2 Serial 2 Giganet	1	1 router is required  for communication of devices both inside and outside LAN i.e. routing
Firewall	Cisco Systems	5500	ASA	2 Ethernet 1 Serial	1	For traffic filtering incoming and outgoing packets to ensure systems security. Firewall will be embedded in the router.
Switch	Cisco Systems	2900	Cisco	48 Ethernet	5	1 switch for ground floor, 2 switches for 1st floor and another two switches for third floor. Switches enable expansion of network. NB. It is assumed that our switches are 48 port
Wireless Router	Cisco systems	500	Cisco	2 Ethernet	3	1 for ground floor, another for 1st floor and another for 2nd floor. Devices that are incompatible with Ethernet LAN, will be using Wi-Fi.
Distribution Layer Switch	Cisco systems	3500	Cisco	24 Ethernet ports	1	To be used to bring together all switch traffic.

Second floor requires two 48-port switches and wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 96 data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.

Ground floor

We require 1 48-port switch for extension of ground floor network. The ground floor has a total of 22 data points. 48-port switch will be used to allow future growth. Wireless router will be used to support computing devices that do not support Ethernet LAN.

First Floor.

This floor requires two 48-port switches and wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 90 data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.

Distribution layer switch will be used as a stub network to bring switches’ data communication to the router.

The router is used to route packets from client workstation to outside world.

IP Addressing

Let’s assume that ISP provided address is 192.168.20.3, our IP addressing as required by client will be subnetted as below. It should be noted that we are using VLSM method of subnetting to arrive at our subnets. [9]

Area	Size	Octet	Network	FUA	LUA	Mask
Floor 2	98	128	192.168.20.0	192.168.20.1	192.168.20.126	/25
Floor 1	92	128	192.168.20. 128	192.168.20.129	192.168.20.254	/25
