It Summary for Xyz CompanyJoin now to read essay It Summary for Xyz CompanyDivision LAN’sThe following will be my suggestions on setting up the Sterling Co. network for them. Since the sites have several hundred users I am recommending that the division LAN’s use the Ethernet protocol to communicate and have an IP based network. TCP/IP uses a unique address that is associated with each device attached to the network. The IP is assigned based on the MAC address of each device and is sort of it’s Social Security number and is only assigned to that device. I am using 100mb speed since most devices are 10/100 and are not all gigabit as of now. 100mb is more of the standard in today’s world. Although all switches and backbone equipment will be 10/100/1000 to give users that have gigabit network cards that capability.
Given the company has several hundred users at each location we can say that they will have multiple floors in each location. For this reason, I will connect the floors via gigabit fiber. Cabling for the user network will be CAT6e copper which is the latest standard. Users can connect their pc to the network via CAT5e or CAT6e patch cords. CAT5e is going to be the best for the budget as it is cheaper than CAT6e. Devices used to connect these computers would be Cisco switches since all devices will connect to the switch via Ethernet cable and the switch will connect to the backbone located in the server room via fiber. They are configured to give each computer 100mb connections to the network unless the computer can do gigabit in which it will have 1000mb connection. Each Floor switch will be dual homed to the appropriate redundant backbone switch with Gigabit Fiber links.
To simplify the design I would give each floor in the office a class C IP range and notsubnet. I would configure the switches with VLAN’s to also simplify configuration and management. VLAN’s would possibly be DATA, VOICE and WIRELESS in which I could segment differently as deemed necessary. This makes it easy to identify floor locations and buildings and makes it very easy to deploy other devices such as printers, copiers, etc.
Division WANTo connect all the LAN’s I would use routers, preferably Cisco, that work to route traffic from all the 5 sites to each other as well as connect the offices to the rest of the world. I would connect the offices at 100mb as well from the router to the switch in each office unless the router has gigabit capability. I would then connect via gigabit fiber. For this project I would use a new technology called MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching(Webopedia.com,2007)) to connect the offices. This circuit connection I would make 10mb MPLS which makes each office seem as if it has a direct connection with the others. This reduces congestion and latency as can be noticed with an ATM or Frame Relay. For offices this size I would use a MPLS DS3 circuit. They provide more bandwidth and they are more powerful than DSL lines.
I created a free demo from my research at the R&D lab of G-Sight in Cambridge, MA. It illustrates the current design and design principles. Below I have shown the original design principles for a simple office and all links and links are just clickable. For a full example of how you can create an MPLS system with a simple office from your research project use the slides and tables linked in next section.
The MPLS S3 file can be found in the same repository as the S3 Data Files. Each S3 has one subfolder (which will always be the same except for a few changes) with their own MPLS S3s. To set up an MPLS system with all a link to the data file you need to take down the source (or download the S3 from the project website for your computer).

To get the MPLS S3s into the project you have to enter a unique name for each of these links, which is shown below. This name will remain public for a full two years then be removed for the time being.

The project includes links to all MPLS links (with no default) including the official links, as well as other links listed on the project website. You can create link chains easily which are easy and easy to work with by creating a chain which goes from the main link to the main link. I have used the link chains shown at the start of the web to create a short video which shows exactly what it will look like when working with an office. The example below contains just one more link, but shows all links.
This project can be built on any Linux-based Windows or Mac computer and works as a web project using the WebSocket library. This does include the link chains shown as shown in the link chain. There are no other link chains shown, they are simply shown to get a feel of how MPLS does it better.
It is recommended that you look into installing the MPLS support modules but if you do not have one (such as the PPS3 module), then you will need to install the latest MPLS 1.3 support module if you want further examples. I am not planning ahead to release this web program fully as I plan to get the project complete by the end of May, rather than as I do.
Installation of MPLS support
Once you have installed the support module, open a browser tab and navigate to the project page that will open. The browser will be displayed before you can start creating links. Enter a link in the correct URL to the web browser. This will provide you with a link chain to get you all the links you need when working with the internet.
