Network Design Scenario The Corporation Techs’ current network consists of 1 webserver (accessible by the public), 2 application servers, 2 database servers, 2file and print servers, and 50 workstations. The web server runs Linux/Apache, the other servers run Microsoft Windows Server, and the workstations run Microsoft Windows. The network is connected through a series of switches, is not physically connected to other networks, and runs Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The network is protected by a single border firewall. The senior network architect, whom you work for directly, has verified the company’s business goals and has determined the features and functions required to meet those goals. The senior network architect has asked you to create a network design that includes the following components: § Current infrastructure elements § A logical topology that separates the Accounting and Sales departments § Redundant communications § Justification for continuing with IPv4 or upgrading to IPv6 Tasks For this part of the project, perform the following tasks: 1.

1. Network Design
Scenario
The Corporation Techs’ current network consists of 1 webserver
(accessible by the public), 2 application servers, 2 database
servers, 2file and print servers, and 50 workstations. The web
server runs Linux/Apache, the other servers run Microsoft
Windows Server, and the workstations run Microsoft Windows.
The network is connected through a series of switches, is not
physically connected to other networks, and runs Internet
Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The network is protected by a single
border firewall. The senior network architect, whom you work
for directly, has verified the company’s business goals and has
determined the features and functions required to meet those
goals.
The senior network architect has asked you to create a network
design that includes the following components:
§ Current infrastructure elements
§ A logical topology that separates the Accounting and Sales
departments
§ Redundant communications
§ Justification for continuing with IPv4 or upgrading to IPv6
Tasks
For this part of the project, perform the following tasks:
1. Conduct research to determine the best network design to
ensure the security of internal access while retaining public

2. website availability.
2. Design a network configuration with physical and logical
topologies. Identify major network elements (e.g., servers,
switches, gateways) and their locations within the private and
protected network segments.
3. Include a high-level plan that ensures communications are
available 24/7.
4. Recommend whether to continue using IPv4 or upgrade to
IPv6, and explain why.
5. Create a basic network diagram that illustrates the current
network and enhancements. Include a few workstations to
represent all workstations on the internal network. The diagram
will be very high level at this stage and include only necessary
details. You may use a software tool or simply pencil and paper.
You will update this design later in the project.
6. Create a draft report detailing all information as supportive
documentation.
7. Cite sources, where appropriate.
