Question Description

Create a Network Diagram

Your network diagram needs to include the following elements:

  • An Internet Service Provider Network (represented as a cloud)
  • Router with enough ports to meet the needs of the organization
  • A switch for each floor – you will need to identify how many ports each switch on each floor needs to have
  • You DO NOT need to show every single computer on your diagram. However, you need to show groups of computers, plus their use. So, if there are 5 people in the same department, you can show all 5 computers with one icon/glyph and label it appropriately.
  • Each grouping of computers needs to have the IP Address range documented on the diagram. Assign the x.x.x.1 address of each network to the appropriate port on the router.

Network Documentation

Your network design document needs to explain each element of the network. Each Layer two (switch) and Layer three (Router) device needs to be described in terms of number of ports. The number of computers for each department and floor also needs to be documented. The IP address ranges need to be explained – including the IP Address range that you assigned, the number of IP Addresses that the subnetwork will use, and the number of IP addresses that remain unused in that subnet.
