Winsoft (Pvt) Ltd is an upcoming call center. It has 02 branches with the head
office at Colombo and the other is located in Kandy. The building of the head
office has 03 floors, and the Kandy is with 02 floors. As the Chief Network
Engineer of the Winsoft (Pvt) Ltd, I have given a great opportunity to create a
networking solution for the Winsoft (Pvt) Ltd. They provided us some of their
requirements for their buildings.
The setup of the Head Office and Branch is as follows:

The requirements of the WINSOFT.com are as follows:
a. All departments’ computers of the HEAD OFFICE are to be integrated in to a

centralized network. Name – WINSOFT.com.
b. All computers in the KANDY branch are to be integrated in to a child entity of

the main domain which supposed to be designed under (a).Name
– KANDY.WINSOFT.com
c. Finance department should be kept independently in separate non-centralized

environments.
d. The Auditorium of each branch and Customer Interview Area are to be

equipped with Wi-Fi connections which are limited only to their respective
sites.
e. A dedicated connection between two branches (Head Office and Kandy)

which would allow the intra network connectivity between departments.
According to these facts as the chief network engineer of my company I have

suggested a networking solution for this company. And you will see what kind of
things that I did for Winsoft (Pvt) Ltd. when you go through this assignment.

2 Task 1
2.1 Network System Types

Local Area Network (LAN)
Local area network is isolated from the network. Generally, it is built in a
physical place such as office or home, etc. computers are connected by a small
server and connected to the wide area network (Internet). Such networks are
useful for sharing data like files, big or small documents, network gaming etc.
Wide Area Network (WAN)

As the name suggests, the Wide Area Network (WAN) covers a wide area
which may span across provinces and even a whole country. Generally,
telecommunication networks are Wide Area Network. These networks provide
connectivity to MANs and LANs. Since they are equipped with very high speed
backbone, WANs use very expensive network equipment.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

Metropolitan Area Network is a large computer network where all the
computers are connected with each other from different geographical location.
Its structure and the built process are quite similar with the LAN. The only
difference its spans an entire city or a selected are like college or university
campus or a shopping area. We can get a shared network connection form
MAN.
Personal Area Network (PAN)

A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a computer network organized around an
single person. Personal Area Networks typically involve a Laptop, a mobile
phone or a handheld computing device such as a PDA, Tablet PC. You can use
these networks to transfer files including email, calendar appointments, photos
and music.
Wireless LAN (WLAN)

A Wireless LAN (or WLAN, for wireless local area network) is one in which a
mobile user can connect to a local area network through a wireless (radio)

Page 8
connection. The IEEE 802.11 is the group of standards specify for the
technologies for WLAN.
2.2 Network Topologies

Bus Topology
Bus networks use a common backbone to connect all the devices. Single cable
of the backbone functions as a shared communication medium that devices
attach or seize an interface connector. Any device wanting to communicate with
another device on the network sends a broadcast message onto the wire that all
other devices to see, but only the recipient actually accepts and processes the
message.
Ring Topology
In a ring network, each device has exactly two neighbors for the communication
purposes. All the messages travel through a ring in the same direction (either
"right" or "left"). A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take
down the entire network.
Star Topology
Most of the home networks use the star topology. Star network features a
central connection point called the "hub node" which may be a network hub,
switch or router. The devices are usually connected to the hub with Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet. Compared to the bus topology, a star network
generally requires more of the cable. But a failure in any star network cable will
only take down network access to a computer and not the entire LAN.
Tree Topology
Tree topologies integrate multiple star topologies together into a bus topology.
Only the hub devices connect directly to tree bus, and each hub functions as the
root of a tree of the devices. This hybrid bus / star approach supports future
expandability of the much better than a bus (limited in the number of devices
due to the broadcast traffic it generates) or a star (limited by the number of
connection points hub) single network.

Page 9
2.3 Suggested network topology for winsoft (Pvt) Ltd
I can suggest to use the star topology as the suitable network topology to design
the network for winsoft (Pvt) Ltd. we can say that the star topologies are best
suited for segmented environments.
The reasons for suggesting the star topology

 Here in the network solution we can implement the star networks
individually as all the devices in each LAN is connected to a central device
which is the switch.
 winsoft (Pvt) Ltd is segmented. Star topology is also divided into sections.
So the star topology can be used to implement the network solution.
 The client server centralized architecture is used in the network so the star
topology is the most suitable network topology for the centralized
networks.
 Centralized management is provided with the star topology which all the
nodes of the department is connected to a central device which is the
switch. So it helps to monitor the winsoft network better.
 And also adding or removing a device in the star topology can be done
without much effort and without changing the network.
 And also the performance of the network can be high with the use of the
star topology because the failure of certain devices or links doesn’t affect
the whole network. As an example, when one access point fails it does not
affect the other access point in the network. And the security can be said to
be higher too.
As the star topology is fault tolerant, it is easy to maintain. And also the error
detection is easy and very easy to maintain. So it can be said that it is the
suitable network topology for winsoft (Pvt) Ltd.

3 Task 02
3.1 Network communications standards

Ethernet (IEEE 802.3)
Ethernet is a technology data link layer and physical for local area networks
(LAN). Ethernet was invented by engineer Robert Metcalfe. When first widely
deployed in the 1980s, Ethernet supports a theoretical maximum data rate of 10
megabits per second (Mbps). Later, calls "Fast Ethernet" standards increased
this maximum data rate of 100 Mbps. The Gigabit Ethernet technology further
extends peak performance up to the 1000 Mbps, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
technologies also exist nowadays. Network Protocols higher level, such as
Internet Protocol (IP) use Ethernet as the transmission medium. And data
travels over Ethernet inside protocol units called as frames. Single Ethernet
cable is limited to about 100 meters, but the Ethernet network can be easily
extended to link entire schools or office buildings using network bridge devices.
Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) transmission standard. Fast
Ethernet data transfer rate is 100Mbps. In the network solution proposed for the
winsoft (pvt) Ltd, fast Ethernet can be used as the data transferring standard
between the different client nodes of the network.
Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3)

And also there is new Ethernet are introduced such as gigabit Ethernet and 10
gigabit Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet is a data transmission technology which is
based on the Ethernet frame technology. Gigabit Ethernet provides a data rate of
1 billion bits per second (one gigabit). Gigabit Ethernet is defined in the IEEE
802.3 standard and at present it is being used as the backbone in many

Page 11
enterprise networks. Gigabit Ethernet is carried primarily on optical fiber.
According to the designing network for the company, gigabit Ethernet can be
used for the communication between the servers.
Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11)

IEEE 802.11 is a set of medium access control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY)
specifications for implementing the local area network (WLAN) computer
communication wireless bands at 2.4, 3.6, 5 and 60 GHz. They are created and
maintained by the LAN / MAN Standards Committee IEEE (IEEE 802). The base
version of the standard was released in 1997 and has been amended. The standard and
amendments constitute the basis of wireless networking products that use Wi-Fi
brand. While each of the amendment is officially revoked when incorporated in the
latest version of the standard, business marketing tends to revisions as concisely
denote capabilities of their products. As a result, in the market, each revision tends to
become its own standard.
TCP/IP
When we discuss about the network related standards, transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is another standard which is followed when
designing the network. TCP/IP is a network standard and a protocol. TCP/IP
technology defines how data is delivered from one node to the other node in the
network. It makes sure the fact that whether data is arrived correctly. According to
this technology, rules are defined in transferring the data in the network.
1. Splitting the message into data packets.
2. Assigning a designation address for each data packet.
3. Checking for errors.
4. Sequentially organize data packets
5. Regulate packets along the network
6. Reassemble data packets
TCP/IP is a network standard for Internet communications too. The implemented

VPN can be set up through the internet too. So the internet is involved in the network.

Page 12
Same above mentioned rule set applies for data transferring through the Internet. This
process is known as packet switching. So we can use this TCP/IP standard in the
network implementing for the winsoft (pvt) Ltd because data is needed to be
transferred within the company network and some data is needed to be transferred
through the virtual private network.
IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 is another network standard used in the modern networks. Internet Protocol
version 4 (IPv4), the fourth version of Internet Protocol is a standard which is used for
addressing computers. In the IPv4 technology, the addressing helps in the process of
identifying the devices on a network. IPv4 standard uses a 32-bit address. The address
is in binary format (1s and 0s). Over 4 billion addresses are allowed by IPv4. It also
allows unicast, multicast and broadcast.
According to techtarget (2016), Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) was introduced

later because addressing computers with IPv4 is limited. IPv6 uses a 128 bits address
and it is in hexadecimal format. It allows unicast, multicast and unicast. And also it
provides efficient routing in the network. IPv6 has been an aim to achieve for the
modern networks from almost a decade. Driving this standard has been the
recognition that IP addresses for public use are running out and this is caused by the
increase in devices that need an IP address. IPv6 standard aims to address several
shortcomings and errors with the current IPv4 standard. The need for more address
spaces is often cited as the primary reason for moving to IPv6. The IPv6 address
mechanism in the IPv6 standard is designed to allow addresses to be divided into two
parts, a unique identifier for a device and the location that the device gets connected
to the network. For the network it means that any device in the network can be
uniquely recognized. So then it would be possible to track devices physically and it
would enhance the security of the network.
This Internet protocol standard is a must have standard in the implementing network
of winsoft (pvt) Ltd, because it addresses all the nodes in the network and helps to
uniquely identify each device with IP address.

4 Task 03
4.1 Protocols in data communication:
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol,
collaborative systems, distributed hypermedia information. HTTP is the
foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. Hypertext is
structured text using logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes that containing
the text. HTTP is the protocol for the exchange or transfer of hypertext.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

(Pronounced as separate letters) Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP). This is a protocol for sending email messages between the servers.
Most of the e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send
messages from one server to another; messages can be retrieved with an email
client using POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send
messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why it is necessary to
specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure
your email application.
FTP
The short term for File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the protocol is for exchanging
files over the Internet. FTP works the same way as HTTP for transferring Web
pages from a server in the user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic
mail across the Internet in which, like these technologies, FTP uses TCP / IP

Page 14
protocols to allow data transfer. FTP is used most often to download a file from
a server via Internet or upload a file to a server (for example, upload a Web
page file on a server).
TCP/IP
TCP / IP are based on a reference model of four layers. All protocols belonging
to / IP suite of protocols are TCP in the top three layers of this model. As shown
in the below illustration, each layer of the TCP / IP model corresponds to one or
more layers of the reference model seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
5 Task 04
Requirements of the WINSOFT call center

In the winsoft (pvt) Ltd, main domain will be the WINSOFT.com and the child
domain will be KANDY.WINSOFT.com. All the computers in the Kandy branch
is needed to be integrated into a child entity of the main domain called
KANDY.WINSOFT.com. The networks of the two places which are the head
office and the Kandy branch office are needed to be connected through the
Virtual private network (VPN). So the VPN can be used as the dedicated network
connection to maintain intra network connectivity between departments. To
design the network solution for the winsoft (pvt) Ltd, the star topology is used to
design the network. Client/server centralized architecture is implemented for star
topologies.
There are two branches and head office consists of three floors and the branch
office consists of 2 floors. For the finance department in head office, peer-to-peer
architecture is needed to be used because they have to be kept independently in
non-centralized environment. A single switch is needed to connect the GM’s
room devices and reception areas devices. (For design purpose only one switch is
used).
Auditorium of each branch and Customer Interview Area are needed to be

equipped with Wi-Fi connections which are limited only to their respective sites.
So the Wireless access points are placed in the auditorium and in the customer
interview area.

6.1 Hardware components employed in the solution

Hardware Components:
Chassis Standard 1U-4U chassis are generally used.
CPU Most often used are 64-bit x86 CPU (Intel/AMD), Core i3 or greater,
running at least 2-2.5 GHz
RAM At least 4 GB of RAM for each TB of disk. System RAM also caches
the XFS inodes and buffers cache to quickly serve frequently accessed
objects.
Storage Desktop-grade drives or enterprise-grade drives can be used. 3TB or
disks 4TB 7200 RPM SATA drives provide good price/performance value.
Since the system does not use RAID, each request for an object is
handled by a single disk. Subsequently, faster drives will increase the
single-threaded response rates. SwiftStack does not recommend using
“green” drives as Swift is continuously ensuring data integrity and the
power-down functions of green drives may result in excess wear.
OS disks (100+GB per disk) Desktop-grade drives or enterprise-grade drives can
be used commonly deployed as a RAID1 pair to prevent a single drive
failure from taking out an entire node.
Network 1 or 2 port 10 GbE adapter (outward-facing)
cards 1 or 2 port 10 GbE adapter (cluster-facing)
1 x 1 GbE adapter for out-of-band management (IPMI/iLO)
1 x 1 GbE adapter for in-band management and route to Controller
SSDs To ensure that account and container listings are quick, and to provide
higher sustained object uploads per second, SwiftStack recommends
adding a pair of SSDs in each storage node. These SSDs would then be
utilized for only Account/Container storage, while the rotating-platter
drives would be utilized for only Object storage.
Routers I recommend NETGEAR Pro safe Wireless management router. This
is the latest router available in the market. NETGEAR ProSafe
Wireless Management Solutions solve the dilemma of the settings
individually, implementation and management of multiple independent
wireless access points. With support for up to 150 access points,
wireless controller provides a central point for configuring and
managing your wireless network.
Switches NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches is purposely designed for SMB
customers with high performance, SMB-oriented features and easy to
use - allowing SMB networks to support Voice over IP (VoIP),
streaming media, multicasting and security.

7.1 Types of servers for the solution
File Server
File server is use for the network solution; it is responsible for the central
storage and manages data files. So other computers on the same network can
access the files.it is allows users to share information over a network. Every
computer can be configured to be a host and act as a file server.it can be
configure multiple ways.
Print Server
Reason for chose print server, it is a software application, it allows any number
of users to share the same printer and it can control one or more printers. If we
want to move files to a computer that is the only way to reach a printer that's
connected directly to it.
Database Server
Using Database Server, it is very helpful for Winsoft (PVT) Ltd because of it is
used to analysis the data, storage, data manipulation, archiving, and other non-
user specific tasks. They can store their important data and employee details.
Web Server
A web server's principle intention is to store site documents and communicate
them over the web for your website guest's to see. Generally, a web server is
essentially a capable PC that stores and transmits information through the web.
When somebody visits a site page on your webpage their program speaks with
your web server, sending and accepting data that eventually directs what shows
up on the guest's PC screen. Therefore, the principle motivation behind a web
server is to store and exchange site information upon the demand of a guest's
program.
DHCP Server

Page 23
Use for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) it is client/server protocol
it provide IP Address and other related configuration information. It can be assign
automatically. Generally, This DHCP severs maintains a pool of IP Address.it leases
an address. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol
that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other
related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway. RFCs
2131 and 2132 define DHCP as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard
based on Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), a protocol with which DHCP shares many
implementation details. DHCP allows hosts to obtain necessary TCP/IP configuration
information from a DHCP server. The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating
system includes a DHCP Server service, which is an optional networking component.
All Windows-based clients include the DHCP client as part of TCP/IP, including
Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), and Windows 98.
DNS Server
Domain Name Servers (DNS) are what might as well be called a telephone directory.
They keep up a catalog of area names and make an interpretation of them to Internet
Protocol (IP) Address. This is vital in light of the fact that, in spite of the fact that
space names are simple for individuals to recollect, PC or machines, gets to sites in
view of IP address. Data from all the space name servers over the web are assembled
and housed at the Central Registry. Host organizations and Internet Service Providers
collaborate with the Central Registry on a customary timetable to get refreshed DNS
data. For instance, when a client sort www.google .com, the Internet Service Provider
(ISP) sees the DNS related with the area name and make an interpretation of it into
machine agreeable IP address and guides web association with the right site.

Page 24
7.2 Types of servers available in the market
To meet the requirements of the network designed for winsoft (pvt) Ltd, HP
ProLiant rack and tower servers are suggested to be used for the solution.
These servers provide more storage capacity, right-sized compute with flexible
choices, and lower compute energy and floor space consumption.
With HP ProLiant rack and tower servers, you can accelerate your business
results with faster Performance, memory, and I/O performance, coupled with
increased storage and performance.
HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8

The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 is a small, quiet, and uniquely designed
server and it is ideal server to be used when setting up a new network solution
for micro size or small businesses. With server-class performance in a form
factor that is easy to use and service, this server helps to reduce the costs and it
also helps to improve the efficiency and the productivity. you don’t need a

8 Task 7
Network Interface Card

A network interface card (NIC) is a circuit board or card that is installed in a
computer so that it can be connected to a network. A network interface card
provides the computer with a dedicated, full-time connection to a network.
Personal computers and workstations on a local area network (LAN) typically
contain a network interface card specifically designed for the LAN transmission
technology
Function and Purpose of an NIC

In general, people refer to Ethernet-enabled cards are NICs. Wireless cards are
sometimes called WNICs, but they are often just called wireless cards. However,
the term "NIC" encompasses all of these items. While Ethernet ports and cards
are less common than they once were, they are still important for enterprise
infrastructure, and servers use them to control multiple connections and to handle
a high volume of traffic. One NIC can handle a number of Ethernet connections
by attaching a switch or router to it. While most people are used to standalone
routers, many enterprise and server-grade routers are full servers attached to
switches. In some cases, two or more NICs might be used to provide more
throughputs. Offices often use Ethernet connections for workstations and
desktops. Ethernet cables are easier to configure than wireless cards, and they can
provide better throughput in certain scenarios. As more offices move to cloud-
based operations, Ethernet cables are likely to be used to prevent wireless
channels from becoming congested.
Switch
A switch is a piece of a physical circuitry component that governs the signal
flow. Having a switch or toggle switch allows a connection to be opened or
closed. When opened, the switch allows a signal or power to flow through the
connection. When closed, the switch stops the flow and breaks the circuit
connection. On a network, a switch is a hardware device that filters and forwards

Page 28
network packets, but often not capable of much more. The first network device
that was added to the Internet was a switch called the IMP, which helped send the
first message on October 29, 1969. A network switch is more advanced than a
hub but not as advanced as a router. The picture shows an example of a
NETGEAR 5 port switch.
Router
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. A data
packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks
that constitute the internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data
packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the network address information
in the packet to determine the ultimate destination. Then, using information in its
routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey.
This creates an overlay internetwork.
The most familiar type of routers is home and small office routers that simply pass IP
packets between the home computers and the Internet. An example of a router would
be the owner's cable or DSL router, which connects to the Internet through an Internet
service provider (ISP). More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect
large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at
high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are
typically dedicated hardware devices, software-based routers also exist.
Cables
Cables are another main part in network developing. There are different types of
cables. Those cables are different when they are comparing with other cables. Cables
are using in a network to transfer data and information from a device to another
device. When cables are selecting for a network, it is depending on the network size
and accuracy.

Different Scenarios for hardware interdependency with network components
Printing a document through a shared printer

In this networked environment workstations will be provided with shared printers to
fulfill printing requirements. Each workstation is not provided with a printer because
it is costly to install printers for each and every client and through a networked
environment many computers can share one printer. To share a printer a network
printer is required. Network printers can be directly connected to the network.
According to the following diagram we can see how the network printer is connected
to the network. In the following network of a certain department of the winsoft (pvt)
Ltd call center, there are 4 PCs and a network printer connected to the central
networking device which is a switch. Switch is a network layer 2 devices and it
recognizes the connected devices from the MAC address table. When a command is
sent from a workstation PC, then the switch will check the destination MAC address
and send the command to the network printer. Then the printer will execute the
command and print the document. The printer will print documents on the first-

11.1 Future enhancements for the network

 Cloud computing
In the modern world it is very famous with the virtual space management. We
call it as cloud computing. As some examples I Cloud, Google Drive, Drop
Box etc. in the future it will willing to introduce that cloud computing
technology to the Winsoft. With the cloud computing it will help to manage
the data storing in cloud. It not requires a database. By the cloud storage it will
helps to protect data and information from system failures and data corruption.
 Internet Access and Internet Speed

If the company wants more speed with the internet they can shift into 4G
connection or fiber optic connection. And also they can use wireless networks
t inter communicate among the computers and devices.
 Windows 10 into Client computers

With the time past company can upgrade their client computer up to Windows
10 But before they are upgrade the computers they have to analyse what is the
suitable OS to the client computers and after that upgrade them.
 Use more advanced security methods.

Make improvements on routers and switches. Such as security of those routers
and switches. Make the security tight help to keep the business safe from
intruders.
 Use an own email server

With the own email server, it helps to increase the privacy of the company. It
is more effective than using third party email services.

Page 67
Utilizing innovation in the organizations are extremely normal today. With the
insurgency of innovation entire world end up plainly worldwide town. In the
business today they are attempting to impart among different organizations and
with their own particular branches. They utilize organizing strategies to
intercommunicate. System arrangements have the capacity to satisfy their
imparting purposes and additionally their security issues as well. A system ought
to be create by following those related system conventions. System is worked
with the mix of equipment and programming. So before we build up the system
we need to pick the equipment and programming necessities. Before create need
to make a legitimate arrangement. It ought to be rich by the assets which will be
utilize when the system is creating, equipment and programming which are
utilizing as a part of the system, arrange sort, cost, advantages of utilization the
system and chose organize sort, and so on it ought to be an assistance to take a
harsh thought regarding the system and the parameters of it.

14 Self-Criticism
Building up a system for the rent organization is the task. This task was useful to
enhance my insight on a few criteria. I could know more on topologies and how
they are executing by alluding web. And furthermore I could discover more
learning on server design by doing the action in this task. By this I got an
appropriate information about system conventions and why we are utilizing those
conventions in organize creating.
Strengths
 Ability to answer questions and identify various network topologies and
types successfully.
 Understanding network standards and protocols.
 Identifying the suitable network topology for the solution.
Weaknesses
 Designing the network diagram was challenging.
 Choosing the servers for the network was hard.
 Preparing the test plans were challenging
