HANDS-ON ACTIVITY 7C Apollo Residence LAN Design Apollo is a luxury residence hall that will serve honor students at your university. The residence will be eight floors, with a total of 162 two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments. The building is steel-frame construction with concrete on the outside and drywall on the inside that measures 240 feet by 150 feet. The first floor has an open lobby with a seating area and separate office area, whereas the second floor has meeting rooms. Floors 3-8 each contain apartments and a large open lounge with a seating area (see Figure 7-20). Visio files for the residence are available on this book's website. Your team was hired to design a network for this residence hall. To improve its quality of service, the university has decided to install wired network connections in each apartment so that every room can have one IP phone as well as network access. For security reasons, the university wants two separate networks: a LAN that will provide secure wired and wireless access to all registered students and a public wireless LAN that will provide Internet access to visitors. This activity focuses only on the design of the LAN that will be provided on each floor of six floors with apartments (floors 3-8). Do not consider floors 1 and 2 at this point; we will add those in the Hands-On Activity at the end of the next chapter. We have not yet discussed how to design a building backbone or campus backbone, so just assume that the backbone will connect into a LAN switch using one 100Base-T or 1000Base-T. Deliverables Design the network for this residence hall and draw where the network equipment would be placed (use the floor plans provided). Specify the products in your design and provide their cost and the total cost of the network. There are two options for specifying product. Option 1 is to use the generic LAN equipment list in Figure 7-21. Option 2 is to use CDW (www.cdw.com) to find LAN equipment. If you use CDW, you must use only Cisco devices (to ensure quality). 47-19/16"> M101 Supply Power M102 THE GE M103 25'-0" Garage Exit FIGURE 7-20 Plans for Floors 3-8 of Apollo Residence Ethernet Switches Ethernet 100Base-T 8-port switch Ethernet 100Base-T 16-port switch Ethernet 100Base-T 24-port switch Ethernet 100Base-T 48-port switch Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T 8-port switch Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T 16-port switch Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T 24-port switch Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T 48-port switch Upgrade any switch to include POE Cable (Including Installation) UTP Cat 5e (1000Base-T or slower) UTP Cat 6 (1000Base-T or slower) STP Cat 5e (1000Base-T or slower) M104 Wireless Access 802.11 wireless access point 802.11 wireless access point with POE 802.11 managed wireless access point with POE Wi-Fi controller with POE 8-ports Wi-Fi controller with POE 24-ports Wi-Fi controller with POE 48-ports FIGURE 7-21 LAN equipment price list M105 w Price (each) 30 70 80 130 70 130 200 300 75 Price (per cable) 50 60 60 Price (each) 60 120 M106 200 300 400 500 Janice M107 Server Room Garage Entrance
