Assignment
Design a local area network with the following specifications:
1. LAN should be immune to unauthorized penetration attempts (secured from external
and internal threats).
2. The LAN should provide the following services:
Email, File sharing, Project management server, and a general application server for
other department uses.
3. The network should provide internet services to the LAN users.
4. Access to the LAN is to be done both wireless and wired.
5. The network should cover a 2-floor building with 14 offices in each floor. It should
service 60 employees.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3acbceed-9e6e-4759-a213-505a8480b31b%2F961fd2db-6f52-48c2-86e4-6a56e497c9e9%2F3hgta7f_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Local Area Network (LAN) connects the computer with a limited area such as office, building, school, college, etc. Following are the designing protocol I'll be using while creating a rough idea of LAN topology.
1. We can use a Firewall for the router and the workstation to prevent unauthorized penetration attempts.
2. We will put the all the services like Gmail, file sharing, etc after the firewall for safety
3. For internet services we'll use routers as it best for short distances
4. LAN could be both wired and wireless
4. The office is short which has 2 floors with 14 offices on each floor. We can use 2 routers and 2 switches on each floor.
I have drawn a rough diagram for your understanding. Kindly re-design freshly with a neat and clean diagram.
