LAN Design and Implementation Case Study.
Introduction.
A company called Manufacturing Services has requested the design of a suitable infrastructure for a LAN together with an IP addressing scheme. The PCs are available but a network does not exist. The workstations use Windows XP operating systems and have all the necessary software installed. The organization has 3 main departments, Manufacturing, Sales and Administration.
This report will explain the theory behind networking protocols and topologies.
The results of any tests that have been carried out to prove that the network is fully operational will also be included. It will also include details of an IP addressing scheme.
The following definitions refer to terms used throughout this assignment.
