Description: Networks  are  fundamental  to  every  aspect  of  our  society.  Designing  a  network  that  
is  both  adequate  to  current  and  future  needs  is  important.  In  this  assignment,  you  are  asked  to  
design a network according to a specification.  
  
Organisation Structure: 
The  organisation  in  this  scenario  is  concerned  with  scientific  research.  It  is  composed  of  the  
following divisions.  
  
a) Research Scientists (50 staff)  
b) Commerce and Marketing (20 staff)  
c) Academic staff and University Student Interns (80 staff)  
d) Management (20 staff)  
e) IT staff (5 staff)  
f) Admin (10 staff)  
g) 
 Laboratory Scientists (20 staff)  
  
The  premises  are  located  on  the  edge  of  a  well  known  university  campus.  The  laboratory  is  located  
on  campus.  The  organisation  is  physically  structured  as  follows.  Research  scientists  and  Commerce  
and  Marketing  are  located  on  the  top  floor  of  the  building.  Academic  staff  and  Uni.  Students  
are  
located  on  the  second  floor  along  with  Management.  IT  staff  and  Admin  occupy  the  ground  floor.  
The laboratory is located within the campus on the ground floor of the science building.   
  
The  requirement  is  to  build  an  efficient  network  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  organisation  and  for  its  
future 
 growth.  
  
The IT specifications for each unit are these:  
a) Research Scientists - 40 workstations + access to research database  
b) Commerce and Marketing - 10 workstations + access to company marketing database  
c) Academic staff and University Student Interns - 60 workstations   
d) Management - 10 workstations + access to company business database  
e) IT staff - 5 workstations + access to all company IT assets  
f) Admin - 5 workstations + access to all company databases via software to generate reports  
g) Laboratory Scientists - 10 workstations + access to research database (e.g. same as group a)  
  
As  each  department  has  fewer  office  workstations  compared  with  staff,  a  requirement  for  offsite  
access is mandatory. The campus has existing IT infrastructure which you will have to utilise in order  
to connect to the main office.  

Your task: Using  the  information  provided  about  the  organisation,  design  a  network  layout  to  
maximise  efficiency  and  to  allow  both  onsite  and  offsite  access  to  the  resources  by  employees.  You  
will  generate  a  network  layout  using  a  tool  such  as  'Packet  Tracer'.  It  is  important  to  give  labels  to  
your  interfaces,  both  name 
  and  IP,  one  such  example  of  labelling  is  displayed  in  the  following diagram
