College Campus
Assignment-5
Designing a Campus Network
Total Points: 20
In this assignment we are going to design a campus network. Delta Community College (DCC) is a small college. It is attended by 600 full and part time students. The students do not live on campus. There are three dormitories for the students and each dorm can accommodate 400 students.
Distance from the college campus to the dorms are:
•
•
•
Dorm1 <---> College Campus = 22KM
Dorm2 <---> College Campus = 5KM
Dorm3 <---> College Campus = 15KM
Numbers of students are expected to be doubled every 4 years. There are 4 departments:
•
•
•
•
Arts and Humanities
Business
Social Sciences
Mathematics
Every department has an average of 150 Students and an average of 10 professors each. There are approximately 20 Administrative personnel available. It is expected that everyone in the college should get access to the network. Students when they are in the dormitory should also get access to the college network. We need to design a computer network so that it is good for next 4 years. Now do the following:
A. Every department and dormitory should be put on their own subnet. When you design the subnetting make sure your design support the following: 10 Points
i.
3 subnets for 3 dorms each should support 400 hosts ii. Different subnets for 4 departments
• Students and professors should be in different subnets. There are 300 students and
10 professors per department iii. A subnet for administrative department which should support at least 30 hosts
The assigned IP address is 10.5.3.0/20. So do you think using this IP address we can design all the necessary subnets with at least the required numbers of hosts? If yes then design the subnet structure by showing the assigned IP address range for every subnet. If no then say why.
B. Apply a hierarchical approach to design this network. Your design should include:7 Points
i.
Core Layer ii. Distribution Layer iii. Access Layer
In the designed network you need to mention what
