lan configuration between 2 networks




lan configuration between 2 networks




Kiwi International Limited (KIL) is a telecommunications equipment manufacturing company based in Wellington. The company has leased space in Auckland city consisting of one level of an office block and a warehouse in a separate location, some 1000 meters away. KIL wishes to purchase and install some network equipment in Auckland to provide a network for their Windows XP workstations and for three servers: two NetWare servers (NET1) and (NET2) and one Windows 2003 server (WINS).
Auckland Office
All machines have Combo cards installed. The network must comply with the following criteria:

  • Two departments: Equipment and Services are in the warehouse
  • Two departments: Sales and Marketing are in the office block
  • Each warehouse department has five users and one network-connected printer
    (Total = 10 users; 2 printers).
  • Each office block department has six users and one network-connected printer
    (Total = 12 users; 2 printers).
  • The two sites (warehouse and office block) should be connected to one another using Ethernet switches.
  • NET1 (a NetWare server) should be located at the Warehouse.
  • NET2 (a NetWare server) and WINS (Windows 2003 server) should be located in the office block.
Question: Draw a diagram detailing how KIL's new Auckland network will be set up.






eMART, an international company (with a head office in Wellington), has recently established three regional branches located in Auckland, Christchurch, and Japan. Based on the following description, draw up a detailed diagram to illustrate the company’s networking infrastructure. Include in the diagram the whole internal network (all LANs) with the connecting devices, the Internet connections, and all telecommunication links. Clearly label the elements of the diagram.
  • The company’s eCommerce site (B-to-C) is hosted by the company itself and is physically located in the head office in Wellington. The company’s databases are physically located in Auckland.
  • The head office (Wellington) has one Novell Netware server, one Web server, four PCs and one printer networked together in a LAN using STAR physical topology.
  • The Japan branch has one Novell Netware server, four PCs and one printer networked together in a LAN using STAR physical topology.
  • The Christchurch branch has one Novell Netware server, four PCs and one printer networked together in a LAN using BUS physical topology.
  • The Auckland branch has one Novell Netware server, one Database server, four PCs and one printer networked together in a LAN using RING physical topology.
  • The Wellington and Japan branches use a high-speed digital link (1.54 Mbps) to access the Internet.
  • Both the Christchurch and the Auckland branches have an ADSL (740 kbps) for fast Internet access.
  • Each branch has a dedicated router for linking to the outside world over the Internet. All the branches use a local ISP for their Internet connection.

Scenario 3
Designing a network on multiple floors in two buildings
Kiwi Computer Company (KCC) Limited is a manufacturer of computer supplies (who design, manufacture and wholesale a range of computer hardware components). KCC Ltd has recently leased two adjacent buildings in Central Auckland and will set up new departmental networks. The diagram below shows the basic structure of the company’s operation that spans seven floors in two buildings (viz, Reception & Conference rooms, Human resources, Administration, Management & Personnel, Design, Manufacture & Assembly, Stores & inventory, Sales & Marketing). 






he following is a schedule of the number of PCs, printers, file servers, database servers, web server, and some additional equipment required by each department.

Question: Draw a detailed diagram of the proposed network.
Answer: 


Scenario 4
University Network Design
Two of the departments of the University are about to be rehoused, and jointly need to install a new computer laboratory. This laboratory will occupy two adjacent rooms, with each room containing 40 PCs. The departments require:

  • Each laboratory must be capable of operating independently. It should be possible to disable the network in each room separately, and at a single point.
  • The two laboratories should be capable of being combined for use with large classes.
  • Each laboratory requires access to its own Windows 2003 server. Both laboratories require access to the same Linux server.

Question: Draw up a LAN diagram for the situation described above.
