Batangas State University: Answer The Following Scenarios

The document describes two network scenarios and asks questions about proposed improvements. For the first scenario, the existing small company network has performance issues due to all devices connecting through a single router. Proposed improvements include installing additional routers and switches to segment traffic by department, reducing congestion. For the second scenario involving a university campus network, installing redundant routers and switches in each building connected back to the main network provides failure protection and improved connectivity for each department. VLANs can also segment traffic to enhance management and performance.

Answer the following Scenarios:

CASE 1
You were recently hired by a Sales Company to manage their small network. Employees are
using different devices such as laptops, desktops, and phones to access, and they are complaining
that the network is slow. After examining the existing network, you found out the following
network design.
● The main hub is connected to a router to access the internet.
● The main hub is also connected to four (4) hubs attached to different workstations.
The company has four groups of users: the Sales Department, Admin Department, IT
Department, and the HR Department. Each department has a unique demand on the network in
terms of availability and bandwidth.
Base on the scenario above answer the following:
A. Draw the Existing Network Topology of the company
B. What is/are the cause of the slow connection?
The incorrect setup of the router and its settings are the causes of the slow internet
connection. There is only one router wherein the main hub, another four hubs of the
department and multiple devices are connected to it so therefore, there will be a slow
internet connection problem.

C. Is there any collision domain on their existing network? Why?


It is indeed possible to build a collision domain in these networks since a collision
will actually happen if transmitter and receiver send out their signals at the same time,
causing them to wait and re-transmit their corresponding communications one at a
moment.

D. As a network administrator, how can you enhance and improve the performance
of the network? Draw the network topology of the proposed enhancement.

E. Do you think that VLAN implementation in their network is necessary? Why?

The implementation of VLANs in this network is required to improve traffic


management and containment. Traffic segmentation is essential because it helps an
administrator to allocate traffic more appropriately. Also, it reduces the size of
broadcast domains, increased performance and can improve manageability.
CASE 2
BatStateU PB Main II network Design is made up of the following:
● CEAFA Building is the network core that provides access to the internet using a router. A
switch is being utilized to provide a connection for different switches in CICS Building,
CIT Building, and SSC Building. Also, the server farm made up of email, web, and file
servers are connected to this switch.
● Each building has different users, such as students, Faculty, Staff, and guests.
● Each building has a dedicated switch providing connectivity back to the switch in
CEAFA.
● The traffic of the user will be transferred to the core switch to access the resources from
other buildings.

Suppose you are the Network Administrator of PB Main II suggest a network design that can be
used to improve the BatStateU network. Consider the following parameters. Explain your answer
and illustrate your design.
● Network Redundancy
● Failure Domains
● VLAN
● Routed Network
Since the CEAFA building provides internet to different department including
CICS, CIT and SSC building, there are several parameters to consider in improving the
network design. Single router and switch are not enough to provide smooth access to
each department. To improve connection and performance, I installed routers, servers,
and switches in each building, which are also linked to the main router and switch in the
CEAFA building. Also, there is network redundancy which acts as a backup mechanism
for quickly switching network operations to redundant infrastructure. Although the
internet is the obvious example, the said point applies to any network, such as a large
campus backbone and routers provide additional benefits that go beyond data forwarding.
