Pts: 100 pts
1)
Using the diagram Provided please identify
the routers and the switches? (10 points)
Here are 2 routers and 2 switches in the
network diagram.
-
Router 1 is connected to the Switch 1 of
Subnet-A and Router 2.
-
Router 2 is connected to Router 1, switch
2 and internet.
-
Switch 1 connects Subnet A and Router 1
-
Switch 2 connects Subnet B, wireless access
point, network admin system and router 2.
2)
Please Assign IP addressing to each of the
devices shown. If a device is meant to
be a DHCP client, then indicate as such.
For each system, please include the subnet mask and gateway for each
system. If a system does not have a gateway
address, indicate by not applicable.
(Add additional rows as needed) (50 points)
For
SUBNET-A, router 1 in the given diagram acts as the gateway for subnet A. Let’s
assign 192.168.10.0/27 as the IP address for the Router 1. As shown in the
diagram, three PCs were connected through the switch 1 in subnet A. Here down table
provides the IP address assigned for the Subnet A elements which includes the
Switch 1, PC 1, PC 2, and PC 3.

For SUBNET-B, router 2 in the given diagram acts as the
gateway for subnet B. Let’s assign 192.168.10.8/27 as the IP address for the
Router 2. As shown in the diagram, three PCs and the network admin system are
connected through the switch 2 in subnet B. Here down table provides the IP address
assigned for all the elements of Subnet B which includes the Switch 2, PC 4, PC
5, PC 6 and Network Admin System.

For SUBNET-C, same router
2 acts as the gateway. Let’s assign s192.168.10.16/27 as the IP address for Subnet
C. Here down diagram is the full illustration of IP address assigned for the
Subnet C which includes the access point, laptop ad tablet.

3)
Identify what additional devices are
needed (but not necessarily shown) for the basic functioning of a network. For each additional device that is identified
please provide the necessary network information. This does not include – User
file server, printers, scanners, etc. (15 points)
We
do not need any additional devices for the basic functioning of given network
diagram. The given network diagram is itself a better functioning diagram, but
we can add the repeater for to boost the signal with a device and bridges to
pass packets of information to the correct location and to manages the traffic
to maintain optimum performance on both sides of the network.
4)
For the wireless portion of the network,
identify additional details required for its proper functionality. (25 points)
For the proper functionality for the
wireless portion of the network should have:
-
High capacity load balancing.
-
Smarter way of managing the entire network
from a centralized point.
-
Role based access control based on who,
what, where, when and how a user or device is trying to access the network.
-
Ability to measure performance from the
end-user’s perspective.
-
Mobile device management.
-
Roaming and redundancy
