Task 4: Physical Network Topology (Description)
Network type: Star Topology
Design explanation:
ISP connects to the main router
Router connects to core switch
Core switch connects to servers and access switches
Each floor has one access switch
Wireless access points provide Wi-Fi
The two buildings are connected using Fiber Optic Cable
All servers are placed in a server room in Building A
Network Components
Internet → Router → Core Switch
Core Switch → Access Switches (each floor)
Access Switch → Client Computers
Access Points → Wireless Users
Fiber cable connects Building A and Building B

Maintenance and Backup Strategy
Introduction
Network maintenance and backup strategies are important to ensure the availability, reliability,
and security of the organization’s data and network services.
Scope
This strategy covers:
Network devices
Servers
Client computers
Data storage
Backup procedures
Basic Concepts
Maintenance ensures the network works efficiently, while backup protects data from loss or
damage.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance helps prevent failures before they occur.
Activities include:
Regular system updates
Checking cables and network devices
Monitoring network performance
Updating antivirus software
Cleaning server and network equipment
7
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance involves fixing problems after they occur.
Examples:
Repairing failed hardware
Replacing damaged cables
Fixing network configuration errors
Restoring corrupted systems
Backup Strategy
Backup ensures important data can be recovered if lost.
Types of backup:
1. Full Backup
o Backup of all system data weekly
2. Incremental Backup
o Backup only changed data daily
3. Offsite Backup
o Store backup in cloud or external storage
Backup storage methods:
External hard drives
Cloud storage
Network attached stor
