Task 3 – Design the Network – 600 words
Draw a logical network diagram to illustrate a typical network design for an open plan
office that must allow access for TWO HUNDRED (200) users.
The network should be wireless where possible and implement technology to ensure
smooth working as an employee moves around the office space freely.
IT has asked to have a separate network for the following teams:
• HR and Finance
• Management
• IT
All other users can be connected to a shared presence.
Within the design, you must:
• Label each component in your diagram clearly – IP Scheme with Subnet Mask,
Name, interconnection devices etc.
• Allocate suitable IPv4 based IP address schemes (IP Address & Subnet mask) for:
o A network segment for up to TWO HUNDRED (200) unique IP addresses for
each member of staff.
o A network segment for HR and Finance with THIRTY (30) unique IP
addresses for each member of staff.
o A network segment for Management with TEN (10) unique IP addresses for
each member of staff.
o A network segment for IT with FORTY-FIVE (45) unique IP addresses for
each member of staff.
• Identify any interconnection devices needed to allow communication between the
above FOUR (4) network segments.
• Identify any security considerations put into place within the design of the network.
• Note any assumptions made by yourself in the network design.
