Introduction:
This project is about designing a computer network for the company. Logical and physical design diagram, test plan table whether
the network is working properly, and the results of a preliminary test of
P5 Provide a logical/physical design of the networked system with clear explanation and addressing table.
I. Provide a logical/physical design of the networked system
A) Physical Topology :
Physical topology indicates arrangement of different elements of a network. It reflects physical layout of devices and cables
to a form a connected network. It is concerned with essentials of network ignoring minute details like transfer of data and
device type. The pattern of arrangement of nodes (computers) and network cables depends on ease of installation and setup
of the network. It affects cost and bandwidth capacity based on solution of devices. It takes into account placement of nodes
and distance between them. Devices can be arranged to form a ring (Ring Topology) or linearly connected in a line called Bus
Topology.
B) Logical Topology :
Logical Topology reflects arrangement of devices and their communication. It is the transmission of data over physical
topology. It is independent of physical topology, irrespective of arrangements of nodes. It is concerned with intricate details
of network like type of devices (switches, routers) chosen and their quality, which affect rate and speed of data packets
delivery. The logical topology ensures optimal flow control that can be regulated within network.
The data can either flow in a linear pattern called Logical bus or in form of a circle Logical ring.
II. Discuss and explain the user requirement for the design
- People: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing and administration staff, 5 higher managers including the head of
academics and the programme manager, 3 computer network administrators.
- Resources: 50 student lab computers, 35 staff computers, 3 printers.
- Building: 3 floors, all computers and printers are on the ground floor apart from the IT labs – one lab located on the first
floor and another located on the second floor.
- Solutions =>
- Ground floor: including 35 staff computers, 3 printers
- First floor: 25 computers
5
- Second floor: 25 computers remain

2. Evaluate the design of the network
- My network model has many bugs, but I'll bark back if something goes wrong
- The ip address does not follow the rules, so it is very confusing, disruptive
- But, my design has met the following conditions:
+ Building: 3 floors, all computers and printers are on the ground floor apart from the IT labs - one lab located on the first
floor and another located on the second floor.
+ Resources: 50 student lab computers, 35 staff computers, 3 printers
+ Easy to repair

Conclusion:
Through the preliminary test results of the network, the operation is stable, and the results are as expected and all physical connections are
good without interruption.
Evaluation:
According to me the views and definitions of the devices as well as the purpose of use and how it works, I have to learn and give my
understanding about them. The design is simple, not fussy but easy to use for users as well as easy to administer and maintain the computer for
administrators.
