Network Design Paper
Background:
Your small business received a contract award to upgrade the network of the UMUC branch office located in Mannheim, Germany. Currently, each department has its own network with its own DSL connection. Students and faculty members have to access each department through the Internet to access resources. Also, each department has added computers by using switches and repeaters.
Some of the major problems of the networks are:
High rate of collisions
Slow speed due to a large broadcast domain
High administrative cost due to a lack of centralized network management
Lack of backup WAN connectivity
Lack of data backup on servers
Inadequate network security
Use of manually assigned IP addresses

Two server rooms have been allocated, one on the first floor and one on the second floor.
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. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the Administrative network. The computers in the instructional computer labs and classrooms that will be used for classes should be on the Instructional network. The wifi and the computers in the student lobby should be in the Public network. * The whole building will share one Internet access connection (T-1 link from Telekom). This connection will come into the Server Room on the first floor. The Public IP address for the router here is 191.1.15.1 * Security is very important for UMUC as we have to protect students and employees data as well as any intellectual property that UMUC has on the servers and
