Network Design

Your task is to draft a top-level design of an enterprise-wide telecommunications network for a fictitious company, including LAN topology and WAN infrastructure that will handle a constant stream of traffic between the company offices. The company specifications are as follows:

Locations: Five metropolitan geographic urban location; each location has 120 users over three floors; each Floor dimensions are as follows: Length = 210 feet ft), Height = 8 Ft, and Width = 80 ft
Platforms: Multiple (Windows, Mac, Linux, and Mobile Os)
Topology: Ethernet (Copper, Fiber, and Wi-Fi)
Bandwidth: To be determine by you, the network designer, for inbound and outbound
Servers: To be determined by you, the network designer
Intranet access: IP addresses are 172.17. y.x/24, where y is each location IP segment (use any octet that you wish for each location) and x = 1 to 254
Internet access: One access using T1 Link at each location; the public IP address is 96.68.111.x, where x = 1 to 5
Remote virtual private network access for users to telecommute

You should budget your time wisely and work on your project throughout the course. If you complete your course activities and use the feedback provided by the instructor, you will be on the right track to complete your project successfully.

In this week, create a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document in response to the following:

Describe the LAN topology design that will be used at each office.
Provide a checklist of cabling specifications for a cabling contractor.
Include a minimum of two scholarly references to support your cabling and LAN topology choices.
