Executive Summary

• Asx University is a university that focuses on Engineering and IT related

courses only.

• This is a small-scale university which only focuses on certain area where only
selected people will be admitted.

• This is a project being done by all the giant IT Company and our main Stocks
Holder is Intel. Their goal is to create a society of elites (engineers and IT
related) which can be found from all around the world.

• The University is yet to be build and all the plans for the university is
currently being developed

• In this report, we will design how the university will interconnect with each of
the branch and the main building.

• All the physical and logical topology is being design in this report to clear
things up when implementing it in a real infrastructure.

• Asx University will be using Star Topology which has a nested VLAN for the
network environment.

• The deployment of the network design is based on the building structure

itself. The infrastructure of the campus is to fulfill the requirement which is
being set by the stocks and share holders which is to create a building with a
centralize network environment where all the data is being stored in one
place which is the main building and the other external building or branch
building stores nothing . This is to ensure maximum security and ease of
access to the data.

• This proposal is consistent with the University’s strategic plan and is a direct
result of the initiatives outlined in it.

 1. IP Addressing

The major Network IP is 192.168.0.0/21.The Available IP addresses in major network

have 2046 nodes. Number of IP addresses that needed is 780. Available IP
addresses in allocated subnets are 1524. There is about 75% of available major
network address space is used in this network and about 51% of sub netted
network address space is used in this network. All details has been group in the
Table 1.0.

 2. Network Requirements

For cabling solution we propose 3 options:

• Cabling using CAT7(Category 7) Cables

• Cabling using CAT6(Category 6) Cables

• Cabling using CAT5e(Category 5) Cables

Cabling Type Achievable speed Quantity

CAT5E 100MBPS

 3.Physical Topology Network Design

i. Overall Physical Topology

Figure 1.0

• This is the overview of how the university network will look like. All the
branches will be connected to the main building (the pentagon) and all the
servers will be stored there in a server farm which located in the middle of
the building (refer pentagon physical topology).

 ii. Physical topology : Main Building – The Pentagon

Figure 2.0

• This is the physical topology for the pentagon itself, all the servers will be
connected directly with cafeteria the building itself is being divided into 5
sections where all of them are divide equally. The IT department will consist

6
of all the network equipment. As mention before, the servers will be stored in
the server farm where it is located in the middle of the building.

iii. Physical topology : Branch

Figure 3.0

• This is how the branch/external building looks like. Only two floors in this
building, where 2 labs and 2 lecture hall is being structured. For the lab, the
connection is wired directly to the by using one of the option from the cabling
requirements. For lecture halls, both of it only has wireless connection as
shown above.
