The university has leased a new building and needs a network infrastructure designed that is secure and separates student, staff, and public computers. As a network engineer, you have been tasked with designing the network and preparing a proposal. The proposal should include sections on the physical network design, network addressing plan, and network services design. Details are provided on the building layout, number of computer labs, offices, and other spaces requiring network access. Your design must meet requirements such as using physical cable connections, a minimum internet bandwidth, and separate subnets for student, staff, and public computers.

You have been hired as part of the networking team After completing
orientation and training in your first week, your manager calls you into a
meeting to discuss your first project.
The university has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland. The
building will house some offices, classrooms, a library, and computer
labs. Security is very important for as the university must protect
students’ and employees’ data, as well as any intellectual property that
has on its servers and computers. As a result, IT management would like
to take the time to review some proposals on how best to move forward.
As a network engineer, you have been asked to prepare a network
proposal on how to set up a secure network infrastructure in this new
building to support university operations.
After speaking to your manager, you are excited about the project, but
you realize you will have a busy schedule. As you write your proposal,
you will also have to prepare for the Network+ Certification exam. One
of the conditions of your employment at this company is that you obtain
this certification within 60 days of being hired. You will have to manage
your time wisely, because you will have to take a practice certification
test just as you are completing your final project.
In this learning demonstration, you will use the TestOut Network Pro
(LabSim) to learn about the different types of networks and how to

2. configure them. These activities will prepare you for the CompTIA
Network+ Certification exam. In order to identify your strengths and
weaknesses, you will first complete the Network+ Certification Practice
exam. The practice exam is designed to assess your preparedness for the
CompTIA Network+ certification exam. Then, during the course of the
next eight weeks, as you step through each set of activities in LabSim,
you will also be drafting sections of your design proposal.
Use the results of the certification practice exam you took at the
beginning of the class to help guide you on which areas within LabSim
you should pay closer attention to. You must complete all online labs in
LabSim; these are the activities with the computer mouse icon. Some of
the other areas in LabSim are optional. You can complete any or all of
those if you feel you need to learn more about the topics at hand.
To get started, follow the steps below.
OVERVIEW
you will provide detailed network design proposal. Your task is to
design the network for this new building with the following criteria:
· Student-accessed computers should be on separate network from
the staff-accessed computers. Computers for public use should be on a
separate network.
· There must be a minimum of 40 Mbps Internet connection, with a
backup line capable of at least 20Mbps. Cable, DSL, or FIOS should not
be used for primary Internet service.
· The network should use physical cable, not wireless. But do
provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area (second-floor
hallway). Set the maximum simultaneous wireless users to 254.
· The network has been assigned the 10.11.12.0/23 network address
for all computers and devices
Your proposal should have three major sections:

3. 1. Physical Network Design
2. Network Addressing
3. Network Services Design
To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, please take a
moment to review the rubric. The final deliverable should adhere to the
following criteria:
· Include at least five scholarly references.
· Use IEEE-style citation.
· Use correct network terminology.
· The use of diagrams is encouraged.
Use this template as a guide while creating your final deliverable.
Physical Network Design-
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Define the topology that will be used.
2. Select the appropriate network media.
3. Select the appropriate network connecting devices, including
network security devices.
4. Select the appropriate computer systems to use to support the
network design.
5. Determine a physical layout of the computers on the floor plan,
along with the network wires (network wiring diagram).

4. 6. Provide justifications for each element of your network design
(numbers 1–4 above)
Network Addressing
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Define the subnets (based on rooms, floor, department, or other
criteria).
2. For each subnet, explain which devices/‌groups/‌users/‌rooms will be
on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available IP
addresses to be used by computers or devices.
Network Services Design
-
In this section, address each of the following.
1. Identify network services needed.
2. List additional servers or network devices needed to implement the
network.
3. List network security measures to be implemented.
4. Justify the need for the network services, security measures, and
devices you’ve selected.

6.Building Details
7.-The 50-year-old, two-story building has the following layout:
Building dimensions: Length: 240 Feet, Width: 95 Feet, Height: 30 Feet

5. The building will house six computer labs that will be used for
instruction. In the building diagrams above, the labs are labeled
Classroom #1, Classroom #2, and Classroom #4 on the first floor and
Classroom #1, Classroom #2, and Classroom #5 on the second floor;
each computer lab will have a closet. Each lab will have 32 computers:
30 student computers, 1 instructor computer, and 1 server in the closet
for instructional use.
In addition, there will be a Student Computer Lab that will provide
computer access to students to do their homework. There will be 50
computers in this lab and a server in the closet. To allow students access
to library resources, the library will also have 10 computers for students
and 5 computers for library staff.
Finally, there are various offices in the building. Each of these offices
will have one computer for staff use, with the exception of the
admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be two
server rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor.
