Requirements
The Banana Tree Travel Agency is a growing company providing 24-7 telephone support services for
numerous companies. They have asked you to prepare a design proposal for their new office network.
They will have two offices with a dedicated T1 line between them and would like each office to be able
support sixty employee workstations with internet access, central server access, and VoIP. These
workstations will be shared by multiple users as the company operates on shifts to provide 24-7 support.
Each office will also have eight management offices. In addition to this office support, they also need to
support VPN access for employees working from home. And, support for secure internet access customers
visiting the office is desired.
The Banana Tree Travel Agency executives have no experience with networks but want to be sure
that they are making the right decision; so, they have asked that in addition to providing a design
that the proposal specifically describe all network design considerations. The descri ptions should be
thorough but understandable for a layman, and it should be clear how the network design proposed
relates to each of those considerations.
Your proposal document should be between 5 and 10 pages including diagrams and references.
Visio should be used to generate design diagrams.
