Task 1 

a) Draw a functional schematic indicating the functional sections of the network infrastructure and their interconnectivity. Indicate the various services provided, their type (voice, video, data, or multimedia) and the direction of access to them (incoming or outgoing with respect to the organisation). Specify a list of services provided and profile the services in terms of their data characteristics such as typical data rates, response times, etc. Make appropriate assumptions and state them. This schematic and profile will be the basis of the rest of the tasks. HINT: Research real-world data traffic statistics.
 

b) Draw and present the network schematic/s. The primary schematic will be a broadly labelled schematic of the entire network. Next, prepare a schematic of the network backbone connectivity (core and distribution switches), indicating their locations. Follow this up with schematic/s of each of the floors and the warehouse. Make a listing of all the equipment used and the approximate amount and type of cabling used. Indicate the make, configuration, and market price of each of the network components. Make appropriate assumptions and state them. Remember to orient the schematics in landscape. Indicate the source from where you quote the price of the equipment.
