Title: Network Design for Yumi’s Head Office and Branch Offices
1. Background and Introduction:
This report will discuss about the renowned food delivery company named as Yumi, which is planning to grow their business further in three states of Australia. The three new branches will be located in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. In order to support effective communication and data exchange between the headquarters and the new branches , this company needs a complete networking solution. Furthermore, effective internal communication inside the head office is important for smooth operations. The Sydney-based head office has four divisions: general support, marketing, sales, and warehouse. General Support has 40 workstations, Warehouse has 15, Marketing has 30 workstations, and Sales has 35 workstations.
All workstations in the corporate headquarters require connection to the Internet, the company's intranet, and the email server in order to ensure efficient collaboration and productivity. In addition, each level of the main office has a printer that is network- connected to make printing and document sharing easier. A solid and scalable network architecture is necessary to accomplish this. This report aims to give a thorough network architecture for the corporate headquarters, including both wired and wireless networks. This report will also describes the WAN network design needed to set up communication between the main office and the three additional branches.
2. The LAN Network Design of the Head Office:
i. Diagram and Device Locations:
The headquarters is divided into four divisions spread across three floors. General Support and Warehouse are on the first floor, while Marketing and Sales are on the second and third floors, respectively. Workstations and interconnecting equipment like as switches, routers, and wireless access points are deliberately located to guarantee optimal communication.
The locations of workstations and associated equipment are shown in the diagram below:
ii. LAN Topology and Protocols:
The LAN design is suggested to use a tree topology because this topology offers scalability, simple management, and effective departmental communication. Access switches on each level are connected to distribution switches, which are then connected to a core switch at the corporate headquarters.
For wired communication, Category 6 (Cat6) Ethernet cables can be used, providing Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. For wireless communication, IEEE 802 or higher standards can be implemented, offering high-speed wireless connectivity.
The relevant protocols to be used within the LAN include:
*Ethernet (802): This protocol governs the wired communication between devices connected to the LAN.
*Wi-Fi (802 or higher): This protocol governs wireless communication for devices connected to the wireless access points (APs).
iii. Internet Access:
A broadband connection is used to offer internet access within the head office network. A router is connected to the network infrastructure of the ISP to make this connection. The router acts as the gateway, facilitating communication between the local area network (LAN) and the internet. Devices connected to the LAN can access websites, cloud services, and online resources from the IP address it receives from the ISP. In order to enable the sharing
exchange routing information and adapt to network changes, ensuring efficient and optimized routing between the offices.
4. Summary:
The proposed network design incorporates wired and wireless networks to facilitate seamless communication and data sharing within Yummi's head office and branch offices. The LAN design utilizes a tree topology with suitable protocols and media types. WAN connectivity between offices is achieved through routers and either dedicated leased lines or VPN tunnels. Synchronous connections and dynamic routing protocols ensure efficient and reliable interoffice communication.
