Part I.
High-Level Network Design
1. Topology for Each Department
Floor 5: Executives and Corporate Services Department
Tree Topology
The tree topology is a hierarchical setup, each computer connects to a main switch,
which then connects to a central router. This structure helps manage lots of computers
and is good for big departments with different teams.
Floor 4: Administration Department
Star Topology
All computers connect to a central switch. If one computer has a problem, the rest still
work fine. It’s easy to set up and fix issues, perfect for an administration department
that needs reliability.
Floor 3: Accounting Department
Star Topology
Each computer connects to a main switch, ensuring smooth and secure communication,
which is important for handling financial data
Floor 2: Human Resource Department
Bus Topology
All computers are connected to a line using one main cable. This is a simple and cheap
option for smaller departments.
Floor 1: IT and MIS Department
Tree Topology
Like the Executives Department but tailored for IT needs. It helps manage various IT
services and ensures good network performance.
2. Topology of Nodes/Routers as an Organization
Hybrid Topology
We used hybrid topology as each department’s switch as we used tree, star and bus for
different department, which is connected into a switch each floor. This setup helps manage and
connect different departments smoothly and ensures that the whole company’s network works
well together.
