Physical Network Design
Overview
This document will describe in detail the tasks performed to meet each objective listed below. A network diagram detailing the installation overview, a layout of the network closet components, and a
detailed list of equipment with quantity and prices have been included to supplement the information
provided to meet the objectives.
Objectives
The classroom must facilitate ethernet connections for at least 18 computers
Marketing and finance, sales, and the instructors’ and managers’ offices must support at least four ethernet connections supporting VoIP and PoE
The conference room must support VoIP, video conferencing, and a presentation computer
The developer, tech support and receptionist area must support at least eight ethernet connections
Wireless connectivity must be available throughout the building to support guests and visiting employees
All connections must facilitate internet access from an ISP provided fiber connection in the network closet
Assumptions
Network hardware should be placed in the network closet unless objectives require its placement else where
Cable chases are in place between all rooms so running cables will not be an issue
Networking equipment should be manageable remotely through ethernet connections
A cost-effective solution should be selected
Proposal
The cable selected for the entire building was Cat6 due to provide speeds of 1Gbps and provide future
growth of 10Gbps. A total of 48 network runs are required to support the necessary wired connectivity to each room as well as the wireless access points per the objectives. A rough estimate Physical Network Design -2- J Smith
of cable length was calculated from the length provided for the building in the drawing with an additional 10% added for errors in installation, measurements, and calculations. Two 24 port patch panels have been selected to be installed on a wall mounted hinged 3U rack. This will provide room for an additional 24 port patch panel for future growth. Low voltage gang boxes, wall plates, and keystones are also listed in the requirements to finish the installation
The UniFi EdgeSwitch 48 port PoE switch was selected for the following reasons:
Switch port density and port configuration meets the needs of the 48 RJ45 Cat6 1Gbps connections
The switch provides 500W of PoE power, which will be enough to support the phones and wireless access points
The switch comes with Layer-3 capability, removing the requirement to have a separate router for the installation
The switch has two SFP+ ports which one will be used for the ISP internet connectivity and the second one can provide a switch interconnect to expand the switch port capacity for future growth
This switch is managed over the network through a cloud-based service
The UniFi AC Pro wireless access points were selected for the following reasons:
The UniFi wireless APs are managed over the network through a cloud-based service
The cloud-based service provides for endpoint management and transition between access points without losing service or having to re-establish connectivity
It provides modern Wi-Fi standards but it also backwards compatible (a/b/g/n/ac)
A guest environment can be provided, thus segmenting the guests from the users
The network equipment is protected in a single closet with a locked door. An Uninterrupted Power Supply allows the network to maintain power for brief periods of time, thus allowing users to continue working through brief (20-30 minute) outages of power.
