Activity 3

The layout plan for complete network of Priority Advertising is based on limited budget is carried out. This layout of required network for Priority Advertising organization is presented below:

This layout plan is developed for one floor of Brisbane office and same layout plan can be used on remaining floors. This layout includes two routers fro Brisbane branch. As it is the main branch and most of the operations of this organization are completed at this branch so second router is used for backup purpose. A server is also placed in this branch and it can justify the server requirements of this organization. The common printer placed on this branch can be used by all the users and it shows its shared resource nature. The use of multi- port switches is done for understanding the future growth of Priority Advertising organization.

The layout of network for Toowoomba office is also developed. This layout of this office shows the use of one router which is further connected to a multi-port switch. The required computer systems for each department are connected to it. There is common printer which can be used by al the departments working in this branch and it can be shared among all users. The wireless tablets are also used in layout plan of this office. The WAP providing wireless connectivity is also implemented for this branch. The required working capabilities in both offices of Priority Advertising can be archived with help of this network layout. The managers of this Priority Advertising organization can understand the logical implementation in easy way. The collective plan for complete network layout for both offices of Priority Advertising is presented here.

Activity 4

Activity 5

The connection of internet services is essential for Priority Advertising organization and with connection of internet the resources can be shared among both offices. The connection of internet does not mean that all services are taken from external resources or cloud but it implies that the Priority Advertising organization can select some costly implementation from internet and some security services on internal network bases. The use of server for storing all clients’ data and other important documentation shows the internal networking requirements. The implementation of security firewall for securing the internal network of Priority Advertising is also implemented on the internal network. The Priority Advertising can take SAAS and AAAS as the services from the cloud and manage them with ISP or internet connection. The implementation of network services, server and security on internal network will provide confidence and reliability on proposed network while the implementation of SAAS and AAAS from cloud through internet will justify the application nd software requirements of this organization.

 Activity 6

The networking proposal to Priority Advertising organization is a detailed task which requires logical model implementation and IP allocation. The server will maintain the static address and all other connected devices can be managed with dynamic addresses. The effective sub-netting for the IP implementation in new network layout of Priority Advertising will provide the effective control on set connections and communication. This Priority Advertising organization is maintaining five departments and the sub-netting table for all these departments are provided underneath:

• Subnet Network address Subnet mask First usable IP address Last usable IP address Broadcast address
• Marketing 192.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 192.0.0.1 192.0.0.15 192.0.0.15
• Advertising 193.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 193.0.0.1 193.0.0.15 193.0.0.15
• Graphic design 194.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 194.0.0.1 194.0.0.15 194.0.0.15
• Photography 195.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 195.0.0.1 195.0.0.15 195.0.0.15
• HR and accounting 196.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 196.0.0.1 196.0.0.15 196.0.0.15
• The devices like servers and routers will also makes the requirement of IP allocation and this IP allocation (static) to these devices is:
• Device Interface IP address Subnet mask Default gateway
• Server 197.0.0.0 197.0.0.1 255.255.255.240 197.0.0.15
• Router 198.0.0.0 198.0.0.1 255.255.255.240 198.0.0.15

Activity 7

Thinking towards the vulnerabilities of both type of network for their implemented costly resources and most important stored files shows the effective nature of this organization. The chances of occurring vulnerabilities are more with implementation of wired network. The use of effective IP can resolve the issues of possible vulnerabilities. The use of private IP can enhance the security level for implemented devices unique address. It acts as the local IP and both static and dynamic IP can be used by Priority Advertising based on their security requirements. The use of private IP for employees systems will not allow them to share the resources with any external user. The privacy, protection and security is improved by private IP, thus, use of private IP is recommended for Priority Advertising organization.

Project proposal

The requirement of new network for the Priority Advertising can be understood with the supplied interview. The main goals of network consistency can be archived by this implementation. This new implementation will provide connectivity in both offices and shared resources can be implemented. The star methodology will be implemented for developing this network design. The complete implementation of this new network will require a time frame of 60 days as we have to develop the physical network in two different cities. This evaluation will lead to resource sharing based technical solution and it will also enhance the communication level for this organization. The improved security to resources and their important files can also be obtained. This implementation needs different devices which have shared nature and some static devices will also be required.

The cost of each item is already specified in above. This complete implementation will lead to a total budget of $20000 to this priority organization. It is not a small cost but making connectivity of two offices in different cities will make requirement of this budget. This network layout is proposed by considering the future requirements up to 10 years for this Priority Advertising organization. It will bring new heights and success to this organization. The organizational connectivity, security and reputation in front of their clients will also be improved with this new network layout. This network layout is a complete solution for the network requirements of Priority Advertising organization and new success level with required security and effective handling of resources can be obtained. The security considerations to Priority advertising can also be effectively implemented.

Conclusion and recommendations

The proposed technical network layout solution to Priority Advertising is much effective in nature and required capabilities can be archived through it. This layout plan is developed for one floor of Brisbane office and same layout plan can be used on remaining floors. This layout includes two routers fro Brisbane branch. As it is the main branch and most of the operations of this organization are completed at this branch so second router is used for backup purpose. A server is also placed in this branch and it can justify the server requirements of this organization. The common printer placed on this branch can be used by all the users and it shows its shared resource nature. The use of multi- port switches is done for understanding the future growth of Priority Advertising organization. The layout of network for Toowoomba office is also developed.

This layout of this office shows the use of one router which is further connected to a multi-port switch. The required computer systems for each department are connected to it. There is common printer which can be used by al the departments working in this branch and it can be shared among all users. The wireless tablets are also used in layout plan of this office. The WAP providing wireless connectivity is also implemented for this branch. The required working capabilities in both offices of Priority Advertising can be archived with help of this network layout. The increased employees to this organization can make requirements of changed IP address range and other devices. Thus, this scope is also presented in my proposal. The use of private IP is my main recommendation for this proposal.
