In the above network design diagram, it has the flowing elements:
Building 1
Building 1 requires 4-48port switches and a wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 175 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3 )data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.
Distribution layer switch will be used as a stub network to bring switches’ data communication to the router.
The router is used to route packets from client workstation to outside world.
Building 2
This building requires four 48-port switches and wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 195 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3+20 data points of server room) data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.
Building 3
Building 1 requires 4-48port switches and a wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 175 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3) data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.
