Objective: Your task is to design a network for an office building in downtown Wilmington.Remember to use the network design process in the book as you design your network.
The building will be used by one company that also has offices elsewhere in the US The network will need to have connections throughout the building see diagram below and four servers, plus whatever hubs, switches, routers, cable, etc. that you choose to use. You are to select the equipment you will use for the network. I have attached a list of possible equipment.
Calculate the total cost of your network design in the table provided
Additional Factors to Consider:
The company is considered to have moderate needs from their network eg Mbps met their needs at their previous location However, the company is expanding which has the potential to increase their network needs.
You will need to include a direct connection to their other office in Atlanta.
Assume the computers that will be purchased for the building will have BaseT Network Interface Cards ie you do not need to include NIC cost in your estimates
There will be an additional laptops that need wireless access these are primarily located on the first floor and will have builtin wirelessac NICs
The Cable Costs including installation listed on the equipment list is for one computer connection only eg if you have connections, you will need to have wires
