Section (B)
Question: Draw a diagram detailing how eMART network will be set up.
Scenario A :eMART, an international company (with a head office in Wellington), has recently established three
regional branches located in Auckland, Christchurch, and Japan. Based on the following description,
draw up a detailed diagram to illustrate the companys networking infrastructure. Include in the diagram
the whole internal network (all LANs) with the connecting devices, the Internet connections, and all
telecommunication links. Clearly label the elements of the diagram.
The companys eCommerce site (B-to-C) is hosted by the company itself and is physically located
in the head office in Wellington. The companys databases are physically located in Auckland.
The head office (Wellington) has one Novell Netware server, one Web server, four PCs and one
printer networked together in a LAN using STAR physical topology.
The Japan branch has one Novell Netware server, four PCs and one printer networked together
in a LAN using STAR physical topology.
The Christchurch branch has one Novell Netware server, four PCs and one printer networked
together in a LAN using BUS physical topology.
The Auckland branch has one Novell Netware server, one Database server, four PCs and one
printer networked together in a LAN using RING physical topology.
The Wellington and Japan branches use a high-speed digital link (1.54 Mbps) to access the
Internet.
Both the Christchurch and the Auckland branches have an ADSL (740 kbps) for fast Internet
access.
Each branch has a dedicated router for linking to the outside world over the Internet. All the
branches use a local ISP for their Internet connection.
