Ⅰ. Introduction
In this essay, I will introduce everyone to the design of network diagrams according to user
requirements. First, the invention includes a physical and logical schematic design that
allows easy implementation. After completing the procedure, start the configuration to
match the building design structure. The next step is to set up the computer, router, and
server addresses to manage. After completing the settings, it will output the desired result
and put that result and the reality after completing the tested steps.

II. Content.

P5. Provide a logical/physical design of the networked system with clear explanation
and addressing table.

1. Explain the difference between logical and physical design.

- Logical Design is the definition of an abstract design for computer programming in that
the programmer will arrange any sequence of logical relationships collectively known as
properties or entities. Identifier Entity refers to information and attributes that uniquely
identify an entity.

- Physical Design focus on storing and accessing objects. The physical design converts the
logical structure into a structural description of the physical database. Additionally, the
physical design allows the creation of things from the database, such as tables, columns,
and primary and foreign keys.

Table 1: Explain there are main three differences between logical and physical design

2. Discuss and explain the USER Requirement for the design
- A company specializing in computer networks has planned a network installation project
for the university. The project specification is given as follows:

- First about users: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing staff and administrators, five
senior managers, including the head of academic and program management, and three
computer network administrators count.

- Second in terms of resources: 50 student lab computers, 35 staff computers, and three
printers.

- Third in terms of infrastructure: the building has three floors, all computers and printers
are on the ground floor except for the IT room which is separated between the 1st and 2nd
floors.

- Note:

+ Ground floor: 35 staff computers and three printers.

+ 1st floor: Lab 1 includes 25 computers.

+ 2nd floor: Lab 2 contains 25 computers.

3. Logical design
In this 3-story building's network configuration, several key network components are
employed, including a Router, Layer 3 Switch, PCs, Printers, Wireless Access Points,
Servers, and standard Switches. The primary aim is to establish robust connectivity
throughout the premises while catering to a considerable number of concurrent users.

The Router serves as the gateway to the internet and is linked to the Layer 3 Switch, which
in turn connects to the standard Switches on each floor. This intricate setup ensures that
internet access is extended to all connected devices, including the Wireless Access Points.
The latter is crucial for accommodating the network needs of teachers and staff who
require wireless connectivity.
Acknowledging the substantial demand for connectivity, the network design incorporates
ample bandwidth capacity. By embracing this approach, the network aims to sustain
seamless performance even during peak usage periods.

The pivotal role of the Layer 3 Switch involves not only facilitating interconnectivity but
also providing DHCP services to PCs situated on each floor. This centralized control
mechanism allows for efficient management of IP addresses and network resources.

In summary, the network blueprint for this 3-floor building encompasses an array of
interconnected devices and employs strategic configurations to ensure reliable and high-
capacity connectivity for the diverse range of users and their devices.

P6. Evaluate the design to meet the requirements.

Provide test plan:

 The network is managed by vlan, each department uses a separate IP range.

 End user's computer gets dynamic IP assigned by DHCP.
 Computers with different VLANs can ping each other.
 Computers that can access the internet.
 Wireless devices using Wi-Fi network.

Evaluating the design of the network:

Advantage:

 VLAN management is employed for network administration.

 Individual IP ranges are designated for each department, facilitating straightforward
problem localization and resolution.
 Enhanced routing across VLANs is facilitated by an S-Layer device, leading to
improved network speed.
 Access Control Lists (ACLs) are utilized to govern room access, ensuring controlled
and secure entry.

Disadvantage:

 Absence of a backup WAN line results in a critical vulnerability; if the primary WAN
line fails, the entire school network could experience a collapse.
 Inability to manage the wireless network via user and password authentication poses a
limitation in terms of access control.
 The network lacks a dedicated firewall for comprehensive management of inbound and
outbound data flow, posing potential security risks for company data.

P7 Implement a networked system based on a prepared design.

III. Conclusion
By completing this exercise, I've gained a deeper understanding of both logical and
physical network design. I've also learned how to present complex network architectures
effectively. As part of this exercise, I've created a diagram for a network in an educational
institute. The institute spans three floors and includes three servers along with computers
designated for IT, staff, and students. The network design encompasses router and switch
configurations that allow for internet connectivity. It's important to note that devices within
the school can successfully ping both internal school resources and external internet
destinations. However, certain aspects are still in progress. For instance, the scheme could
benefit from enhanced security measures, which could involve the incorporation of a
firewall.

Additionally, there are key elements that are currently absent from the design:

 The implementation of a separate Exam network that lacks internet access.

 A Guest network that grants limited network access.
 The establishment of access restrictions preventing entry to the school's internal
services.
 Measures to prevent students from accessing the Staff network.
Overall, this exercise has provided me with practical insights into the intricacies of creating
effective network designs, both in terms of their logical structure and their physical
components.
