EXPLANATION AND ADDRESSING TABLE (P5)

➢ Logical Design:
− Definition: The logical network design is made up of separate networks that are
physically realized using virtual local area networks (VLANs) specified by network
switches.

➢ Physical Design:
− Definition: A Physical Network Design specifies the physical infrastructure and how
all devices will be interconnected.

1. Explain the difference between logical and physical design:

✓ The logical design is more abstract and conceptual than the physical design. In logical design,
you examine the logical relationships between objects. The physical design considers the
most efficient method of storing and retrieving items.
✓ Logical design of a network consists of virtual design while the physical design of a network
describes the hardware functions of the network. Logical designs determine the flow of data
or communication between two networks while physical design is a communication between
two computers connected with cables.
✓ The primary distinction between logical and physical network design is the iterative
generation of a solution from problem identification. When a company has to exchange
information in real time with remote offices, they think about business first and technology
second. This is when an issue is identified, and as the problem is documented, it may be
iteratively transformed from a logical answer into numerous different physical designs. A
network's logical design can be re-implemented with new technology while maintaining the
same logical design. A physical design is one realization of a logical design that may span
decades of technology.

2. Discuss and explain the User requirement for the design:

2.1 User requirement:
− As a user, I want to design networking system is an optimal and suitable networking
system.
 − As a user, I want all computers to be able to access the Internet and communicate with
each other.
− As a user, I don't want Students to have access to the network of teachers, marketers, and
administrators.

2.2 The scope of operation of the network:

− People: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing and administration staff, 5 higher

management personnel (including academic heads and program managers), and 3
computer network administrators.
− Resources: 50 student lab PCs, 35 staff computers, and 3 printers.
− Building: 3 floors, except for the IT laboratories, which are located on the first and second
levels, all PCs and printers are housed on the ground floor.

3. Design network:
3.1 A logical design of the network:

3.2 A physical design of the network:

❖ On the ground floor:
o 1 router (R1)
o 1 switch layer 3 (S1)
o 5 switch layer 2 (SWteacher, SWmarketing, SWManagers, SWAdnetwork,
SWSERVER)
o 4 server (DHCP-DNS, Web, Mail, File)
o 35 computers
 o 3 printers

❖ On the first floor:

o 2 switch layer 2 (SWStudent1, SWStudent2)
o 25 computers

❖ On the second floor:

o 2 switch layer 2 (SWStudent3, SWStudent4)
o 25 computers

2. Evaluate of network design:

❖ Pros:
o The networks are divided into layers, and the system is capable of meeting all
requirements.
o Design is detailed and easy to follow.
o It is more secure since the network is divided into several VLANs.
o The IP address is simple to memorize and indicates the location of the devices.
❖ Cons:
o There are several limits and features that have yet to be expanded.
o Expensive deployment, acquisition and development
 ❖ Solutions:
o Update the firewall
o To achieve top performance, the system must use the best hardware available
and account for unanticipated situations such as too many people attempting
to use the system at the same time.

SECTION 3: Implement a networked system based on a prepared design (P7)

1. Show proof of the network implementation:

❖ Configure D1:
Step 1: Configures VLAN on D1:
o First, we'll open the CLI and specify the S1's hostname. Next, configure the VLAN and
name each user.
o Result
Step 2: Configure VTP:
o I'll install VTP on S1 before configuring trunk for them. We must enable
trunking for this port since it connects the S1 to the Router. A Gigabit
connection transports traffic from many VLANs over a single link.
o We will proceed with the remaining SWSERVER to SWStudentB:
o Result
 Step 3: Assign ports and IP addresses to switches:
o This part sets up an IP address for switches. First, I need to change the IP address of
the core switch from SWSERVER to SWStudentB. To configure the mode trunk for the
core switch and switches, we use the command encapsulation dot1Q.
o To configure the mode trunk for the core switch and switches, we use the command
encapsulation dot1Q.

❖ DHCP Server:

Step 1: The first thing we need to do is configure the DHCP server.

Step 2: Configure IP addresses for switches

Step 3: Turn on DHCP for the server.

Step 4: Configure dynamic IP addresses for end devices

❖ Router to R-ISP connection:

Step 1: Configure the router's IP address and no shutdown command.

Step 2: Configure IP address and no shutdown command on ISP

 ❖ NAT configuration:

2. Show a diagram of overall network realization:

✓ This is my overall network model, which includes the core layer, distribution layer,
and access layer. It is the mechanism through which devices are connected to one
another and is regulated in network communication.
o Core layer: To increase network communication, the core layer should be developed
as a high-speed backbone that converts packets as rapidly as feasible.
o Distribution layer : The distribution layer is a routing layer that resides between the
access and core layers and is responsible for routing and packet modification.

o Access layer: This layer is also known as the desktop layer since it is responsible for
connecting client nodes to the network.
SECTION 4: Document and analyse test results against expected results (P8)

1. Document of the implementation process:

Devices Quantity Description
Switch A switch enables networked devices to connect
9 to each other. Configure VLAN and trunking
between the core switch and router on D1.
D1 A switch enables networked devices to connect
1 to one another. Configure VLAN and trunking
between the core switch and router on D1.
Server The server will store, deliver, and process data
and then transfer to workstations 24/7 for
4
users. Used for configuration in the server
administration room
R1 Routers link devices in a network by
1 transferring data packets between them.
