Background
Widgets and Gadgets (WaG) have recently acquired a business, We Make Stuff (WMS), in another city. Before work can commence on integrating WMS's network into WaG's, WMS actually need to have a network. WMS consists of three close buildings, each with multiple floors. Each floor is dedicated to a business function as follows:
• Building 1
o Basement:
? IT Support
• 8 main servers
• 12 Workstations
o Ground Floor:
? Main Assembly
• 5 Workstations
• 8 Wireless Devices
• Building 2
o Ground Floor:
? Main manufacturing floor
• 10 Wireless Devices
• 4 Computer Controlled Devices
o First Floor:
? Component design
• 8 Workstations
• 1 3D Printer
o Second Floor:
? Orders and Shipping
• 5 Workstations
• Building 3
o Ground Floor:
? Small components assembly
• 7 Workstations
• 3 Wireless Devices
• 3 Computer Controlled Testing Devices
? Electrical manufacturing
• 11 Workstations
o First Floor:
? Research and Design
• 15 Workstations (Secured)
• 3 3D Printers
? External (Defence and Secret) Projects
• -Some- workstations and devices
• Building 4
o Ground Floor:
? Reception and Human Resources
• 20 Workstations
o First Floor:
? Finance
• 10 Workstations
o Second Floor:
? Management
• 6 Workstations
• 12 Wireless Devices
• 1 Teleconferencing Board room
Task Details
You have been hired to design and, after approval, implement a network for WMS. In this submission you should make a topology design of the network taking into account what you know about collisions and network devices. You should also think about how VLANs could be used for restricting sensitive resources to only those areas that need it and how VLANs would be represented in a LOGICAL topology.
You should use the symbols provided in the PDF for Week 1 workshop or (if you choose to use Visio) the Cisco Visio Stencils from the link provided.
Remember, this is a topology design. Logical concepts need to be displayed, physical implementation design decisions (such as which model router to use) are not important.
