Performance Criteria’s Covered: 1.1 to 1.4, 2.1 to 2.5 Assessment SummaryCase Study:ABC Hospital is a small private hospital located in Sydney. It leases two adjacent buildings, which are 2 meters apart. Medical staffs, such as doctors and nurses work in Building A. The sales, marketing, IT and administrative staff (ten employees) works in Building B. Building A consist of 5 levels as illustrated in the table below:ICTNWK516 Determine Best-Fit Topology AT 1 Case Study.

The plan is for these computers to be networked via a single 24-port gigabit network switch. A T1 line will be connected to the network through a small Cisco router to provide Internet access. Building B consists of 2 levels only as illustrated in the table below: Level Description Number of Computers Number of printers 1 sales, marketing, IT, and administrative staff (ten employees) 10 computers;1 for each employee 2 2 Server room 1 file server1 print server1 mail server1 web server1 database server 0 Building B workstation and servers are connected to a 24-port gigabit network switch. A T1 line is connected to the network through a small Cisco router to provide Internet access. Both groups are happy with their computers. But it is difficult for Building A to communicate with Building B. For example, an employee in Building A prepares weekly sales reports to share with the Administrative staff in Building B, and they frequently go to the other building to look into important sales trends. The employees from both buildings would like to be networked so that they may communicate by exchanging files, email, voice chat, and even video conferencing.ICTNWK516 Determine Best-Fit Topology AT 1 Case Study.

List all the segments of the proposed network given in the case study above.2. Based from the segments above, draw a network functional analysis for Building A and provide abrief description.3. Based from network functional analysis in question 2 and the segments identified in question 1,develop a prioritised organisational network functional analysis by performing the following:a. Identify only the required hardware and Software for each segmentb. Briefly state the purpose of each hardware and Softwarec. Prioritise the procurement of each hardware and software4. How will the proposed network in Building A be connected to Building B? Consider the physical environment (layout of the land, distance between buildings, location of existing key infrastructure) as well as organisational needs (departments, volumes of data traffic, etc.) to justify your proposal.5. List three kinds traffic content that can be transmitted along the network?PART B: Develop Local Area Network specifications to demonstrate your competence in this task. You are required to develop a Local Area Network specification based on the given case study by answering the questions below:1. Draw the topology diagram of the entire network in the case study and provide a brief description.2. List all existing and required hardware network resource for each network segment. Indicate thecost of the required hardware only. Use the table below to indicate your answer.ICTNWK516 Determine Best-Fit Topology AT 1 Case Study.
