P ROJECT SCENARIO ( BUSINESS SPECIFICATIONS ) :

As defined within the specifications document, the project plan involved the conceptual design of an integrated

LAN/WAN network that enabled secure transmission of data and information between four key business

locations/sites. The scope of the project included the following deliverables:

1. Development of a final LAN/WAN network diagram model that illustrates how transmission flows

between business locations.

2. Final project proposal consisting of 4-6 pages which includes diagrams, narratives, budget/cost

proposals and specific details regarding security and future growth.

3. Maintain project budget not to exceed $130,000.

Required LAN w/Bldg A in Skokie, have existing wired LAN only.

Expanding to 3 additional buildings. Each building’s internal network will be using an Ethernet wired or

wireless LANs: one facility in Chicago (Bldg B), the other facility in Lake Forrest (Bldg C) and the other

facility in Lombard (Bldg D).

Approximate Users in Bldg A = 39 users + 4 networked printers.

Approximate Users in Bldg B = 23 users + 3 networked printers.

Approximate Users in Bldg C = 9 users + 2 networked printers.

Approximate Users in Bldg D = 15 users + 3 networked printers with the potential to expand 15

additional users + 2 additional networked printers.

Bldg A DOES NOT have any Routers and will require WAN access to other new buildings. The other

three new facilities will also require access to each other and to Bldg A’s via a WAN.

Bldg A already has a server and Bldg B will...
