NETW 410 WEEK 3 LAB REPORT
NETW 410 Week 3 Lab Report Designing the Infrastructure for
the Network
1. Draw a diagram of the new network. (10 points)
2. Will the current horizontal cabling suffice for the new
network? If it will not, what type of cable should be used for the horizontal
cabling? Provide detailed specifications for this cable. (10 points)
3. Should fiber optic horizontal cabling be installed but not
terminated as future proofing for a future higher-speed network? What is the
cost difference between copper UTP cable and fiber optic cable? Use this model
to compute the relative cost—http://www.fols.org/cost_model/. (10 points)
4. Does this network require an access layer? What devices would
operate at the access layer? Draw a diagram of these devices at the access
layer. Label all of the devices. (10 points)
5. Does this network require a distribution layer? What devices
would operate at the distribution layer? What would these devices be
responsible for? Could the access and distribution layer be combined into a
single layer? Draw a diagram of these devices at the distribution layer. Label
all of the devices. (10 points)
6. Does this network need a core layer? What devices would operate
at the core layer? (10 points)
7. Is redundancy required at any layer of this network? If it is,
where and how would this redundancy be added to the network? What device or
devices would be used to make this network redundant? (10 points)
