Design? (size, purpose, budget)

• Includes topology, hardware, IP


addressing, and security layers

TYPES OF [Link] Topology


NETWORK - Single communication line
TOPOLOGI
ES
ICT

2. Star Topology - Devices connect to a central hub/switch


ICT

3. Ring Topology- Devices form a circular data path


ICT

4. Mesh Topology- Devices are


interconnected
ICT

5. Hybrid Topology- Combination of two or more


topologies
ICT

KEY
NETWORK
COMPONE
NTS
ICT

[Link]- Connects different networks, directs


traffic
ICT

2. Switch/Hub- Connects devices within the same


network
ICT

3. Access Point- Provides wireless


connectivity
ICT

4. Firewall- Monitors and controls incoming/outgoing


traffic
ICT

5. Cabling (UTP/Fiber)- Physical medium for data


transmission
ICT

IP Addressing Basics
• Unique identifier for each device on a
network
• IPv4 Example: [Link]
• Subnetting: Divides a large network into
smaller sub-networks
• Private vs Public IPs
• IP addresses ensure proper routing of data
ICT

Common Network Designs


• Peer-to-Peer (P2P): Direct communication
between devices
• Client-Server: Centralized control and
management
• LAN (Local Area Network): Small geographic area
• WAN (Wide Area Network): Covers large areas,
often internet-connected
ICT

Good Network Design Principles


• Scalability: Can grow with user/device count
• Redundancy: Backup paths to prevent failure
• Security: Protect data and resources
• Performance: Minimize latency and
bottlenecks
• Cost-Efficiency: Maximize value within budget
ICT

Scenario:
Design a network for a small office with:
1 server
10 desktop PCs
2 printers
1 wireless access point
Internet connection via ISP router

Question:
What topology and devices would you use?
