Answer 1

Hi,

In this we will Locate ADSL modem and manageable switch in the IT Department and distribute all connection from there. For this work We need 6 normal switches and 1 Manageable switch along with 7 controllable routers. With the help of manageable switch we will distribute all the Department and Building floors and assign them by different class IPS.. Eg for HR department 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.4.255 for finance department 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.3.255. Furthermore, for inter communication we have to configure all department IP. We can place WiFi routers on every floor for better WiFi range and also switches for each floor by which we can distribute to all the clients PCs.
For Wifi Security :- We need to install Anti-Virus and firewall for virus threat and hacking. We can also use controllable WiFi so that we can check or monitor different acitivities.
