Network Plan

I used the Gliffy software to create a simple star network topology; I created a model

similar to what we have at the office in the base.

I used some of the hardware we use at my work place and played around with it to fit the

given requirements for this assignment. The base that the office is in supposedly has a WAN ran

by COX (public service) The WAN is connected to the LAN through fiber optic wiring. From

there the modem is connected to the LAN ISP using a COAX cable and source of power. Our

modem is attached to the router by a CAT6 cable. I chose the CAT6 cable because it is the

standardized cable and is cheap for the most part. The router has wireless capabilities allowing

me to avoid having the unnecessary work of having a wireless router and wired router separate.

The switch is connected to the router by a CAT6 cable. I centered the switch and gave it eight

ports. This should be just enough for all the nodes and routers. It is kind of on the anemic side of

things when talking about the number of ports on a switch, but for this, it should be fine. The

switch is the traffic guard of the network controlling all the traffic that the nodes send. It

connects the network. Data transmitted from one node must go through the switch before being

received by another node. Nodes are not allowed to communicate directly with each other. The

nodes use a CAT6 cable to send data as well, because of the same reasons.

This network layout for this office allows us to conduct moderate web browsing, file

sharing, data processing, and e-mailing. The speed being used is about 100 Mbps which permits

enough traffic to make things run smoothly.

The star network topology shown below is an illustration of what I just explained. It

depicts the office with one modem, one wireless router, one switch, six computers, and one

printer. The office utilizes a local area network connecting to a vast area network. The problem
