Routing & Switching Practical Application Project

You are the Lead Network Administrator and System Architect for HussCo Inc., a medium

$-$

sized, nationwide company with headquarters in Portland, Maine. Due to

recent expansion and the opening of a new call center, the company has built a new facility that combines the headquarters functions with the new call center along

with several other departments. You have been tasked with designing and implementing the network infrastructure in this new facility.

Guidelines:

$1$

$.$

$$Do not waste resources; ensure subnets are properly sized in accordance with requirements.

$2$

$.$

$$Keep the design as simple as possible; extra complexity without purpose is undesirable. Try to keep hardware purchases to a minimum. Justify all

hardware purchases.

$3$

$.$

$$Design with optimal performance in mind

$4$

$.$

$$Fully document your design. Explain all design decisions.
