Project Scope
The report is prepared for an ecommerce business organization for the management of the growth of the company. The building plan of the ecommerce business is analysed and the network solution is developed after analysis of the requirement of the ecommerce business. A floor plan is created for analysis of the location of the device to be installed in the network. A list of the hardware required for the development of the network is analysed and documented in the report that would help to understand the network device that is required for developing the current network infrastructure. The report consists of the scope of the project that would help in identification of the new possibility and different network protocols are used for increasing the efficiency of the network. A design of the network solution is created in Netsim after analysing the requirement of the ecommerce business organisation. The hardware that are required for developing the network framework are also analysed for the development of the network framework and the network device configuration commands that are used for configuring the hardware device are attached in the report for trouble shooting the errors in the configuration and increasing the efficiency of the network.
The types of network cables used for interconnecting the hardware devices are analysed and the needs for the wireless connectivity for the management of the wireless device is also documented in the report. For the development of the network solution the router is configured with DHCP configuration and the layer 3 switches are configured with VTP server such that the layer 2 switches configured with the client modes gets the configuration automatically. It helps in reducing the effort and increase the efficiency of the network solution. The potential concerns for the development of the network framework are identified for analysing the risk and vulnerability of the current network and resolve the issues for increasing the efficiency of the network. Secondary links can be used for connecting the network device for increasing the redundancy and management of the failure of the links in thee network. The wireless access point should be configured with encryption algorithm for securing the network from external agents and secure thee network from different types of network vulnerability threats.
The main hardware required for the development of the network solution are listed below:
Router
3620 Series router is used and extra fast Ethernet interface is added to the router for connecting the three layer 3 switches installed for providing connectivity to each of the three floors of the building.
Layer 3 switches
Cisco 3550 series layer switches are used for the management of the connection and it is connected with the layer 2 switches for the management of the distribution of the network.
Layer 2 Switches
Cisco 2950 series layer 2 switches re used for the management of the distribution of the network and providing connectivity to the host computers in the network.
Types of cables used
UTP cables are used for interconnecting the switch and the router and the switch and the host and there are different types of UPT cables such as straight through, rollover and cross over. In the network solution the straight through cables are used since it is used for connecting the device that operates in the different layers of the OSI model.
Project Hardware Requirements
Name of the server
3 DHCP server is used for each of the floor and management of the distribution of the IP address to the hosts connected in the network. A WEB server, a DNS server and a File server is also used for the management of the files and sharing them to the users and increase the efficiency of the current workplace. The specification of the servers are given below:
Operating System – Windows Server 2012 R2
RAM – 8 GB
Hard Disk – 1 TB
The floor plan of the network is created for the identification of the data point and the area needed to be covered by the network. The number of users using the network should be identified for the estimation of the data required for connecting each of the hosts in the network. Appropriate cable plan should be created for interconnecting each if the network device and enabling communication between them.
The below floor plan is created for the development of the whole network framework and given below:
Ground_ floor
First_Floor
Second _Floor
The network is created in Boson netsim following the requirement of the organization and the layer three switches are used for the configuration of the vlan such that each of the department is isolated and the flexibility of the network increases. With the configuration of the vlan the network is sub divided into different groups and a DHCP pool is configured for automatically assigning the IP address to each of the vlan. The DHCP configuration helps in reducing the effort of the network administrator for configuring the host connected in the network with a static IP address. The switch port of the network are configured with trunk protocol such that it can handle multiple VLAN and inter vlan communication is enabled. Layer 2 topology is used for the configuration of the network and the network is divided into three layers such as core, access and distribution. Three vlans are create for each of the three floors and for the first floor vlan 10 is created, for the second floor vlan 20 is created and the third floor vlan 30 is created. For each of the vlan a layer two switch is used and management of the distribution and investigation is done for the development of the floor plan. The network device for the development of the network solution is configured and tested by pinging each of the device connected in the vlan with the other device connected in the other vlan. For the development of the network solution the IP addressing plan should be created and the interface of each of the device should be configured following the IP addressing plan. For the current network solution the vlan 10 is allocated with 192.168.1.1 /24, vlan 20 with 192.168.2.1 /24 and vlan 30 with 192.168.3.1 /24 network address. For each of the DHCP pool configured 254 number of hosts can be connected to each of the vlan and in future the host size can be increased by changing the netmask and align the growth of the organization. The network is made flexible such that more vlan can be added to the network in future and meet the future growth of the organization. The server room is placed in the ground floor for the management of the distribution of the network and the data points. The physical access of the server room is restricted and the network devices are kept in lock condition for management of the security of the network framework.

Conclusion
The network configuration is done in Boson netsim and it is developed meeting the current needs of the ecommerce business organization. For the development of the network the potential risk and vulnerability acting on the network is analysed and the number of users are estimated for management of the network connection in the different departments. The building floor plan is analysed and for the estimation of the hardware and the network cables required for the development of the network framework. A project schedule should be crated and followed during the development of the network and the errors in each of the phases of the project should be mitigated for increasing the efficiency. The configuration of the network should be documented such that any error in the network can be troubles hooted for reducing the response time of the network and increasing the uptime of the network.
