/n Instructions file: Submit a spreadsheet along with cisco packet tracer design. Design using DRAW.IO The Engineering School of a small Australian university is getting a new building. It has two floors; the building's architecture has been approved and the builders are about to start. The building is expected to be operational within six to twelve months. On the Ground floor there are eight labs, a common area, and a lecture theatre. The 1st floor has administrative and academic offices, shared offices for postgraduate students and other research staff, and two specialised research labs. While the walls, floor and ceilings surfaces are being completed, subcontractors will install all networking cables according to layout specifications provided by the University's IT Service Centre, the architects' firm and structural engineers from the building company. Then, office furniture and equipment will be delivered, and all areas will be fitted out. Simplified drawings of the architects' plans are provided in the document below "Floor plans and other materials"(also linked here). Some information about the build and layout: The building 2 floors, 1080 sq. m. each Ground floor 4 Computer labs (70 sq. m. each) Each lab has capacity of 30 students: 20 desktops and 10 hot desks for personal, mobile machines A lectern with a desktop machine, an IP telephone and a projector for the TA in each lab 4 specialised labs (70 sq. m. each) 20 student capacity Up to 10 desktop computers in each Students can bring their own machine A lectern with a desktop machine, an IP telephone and a projector for the TA in each lab The Tesla Lecture Theatre has a seating capacity of 150; area: 216 sq. m . It has a lectern with a desktop machine, IP telephone and a projector The lobby and hallway will be fitted with scattered seating and tables. One networked multifunction printer for students and staff. First floor 30 individual offices for the School academics equipped with desktop machines and IP telephones 2 shared offices (6 desks in each) 2 meeting rooms 3 school admin offices equipped with desktop machines and IP telephones One networked multifunction printer for staff and postgraduate students. You can assume that all offices on the 1st floor and all desks and lecterns in the labs have been provided with ethernet cabling. There are no local servers. Any servers required by the School will be located within the campus data centre, in a different building. Physical layer connectivity to the campus data centre has been already provided via high bandwidth cabling. Part of your design should include any necessary devices within the School building to enable that. 3 Your tasks (The things you need to do) The University IT Service Centre has decided to outsource the LAN's completion and has issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Each tender submission is required to include a high-level design of the LAN (either physical OR logical topology diagram), risk assessment, scheduling and costing, among many other documents. You and your company have decided to submit a bid and you have been tasked to generate part of the documentation as described in the tasks below. 3.1 [20 marks] LAN Design The LAN's design should satisfy the needs of both students and staff. All stationary computers and IP telephony are expected to use wired connections. All common areas should have good wireless coverage so that students and staff can work in various areas on their portable machines without interruption. Draw a diagram of all machines and devices in the School of Engineering's LAN. Clearly label all 2nd and 3rd layer devices that will be needed to provide internal and external connectivity; all subnets in the building should be clearly identified in your diagram. It is expected that the diagram is accompanied with a short (1/2 to 1 page). description stating assumptions, decisions and a brief justification for these.
