Question
I have 3 halls. The labs have 8 PC's each. Offices have 2, admin have 4 and in room I is where I am going to have the main internet feed (T3 line to 100baseT). 2 of my halls have 2 floors(identical) and the 3rd hall has one floor. The distance between the floors is 4 meters. There are about 500 meters to cover. I choose fiber for a physical network or would using 5 segments be better. I found distance to be a problem with the 100baseT technology, because in order to connect Hall A and B to room "I" where the main Internet frame is located we will need to have repeaters every 100 meters to cover a distance of about 500 meters. Can we go for five segments or do we choose fiber? How would I then design the network.Explanation / Answer
Planning and designing a network can range from being a very simple task that you can do yourself to being so complex that a large network consulting firm's services may be required. However, designing a basic home or small- to medium-sized business network does not have to be difficult. Visio, or other flowcharting software, can help to establish the overall design for your network. Once the network is designed, you can begin to install hardware and run cables. tart with the densest area of your network. That could be a central portion of your main office. 2 Add the network hub on your flow chart to indicate the central point of this dense network part. Add the anticipated computers to that hub. If you have more than 10 to 15 computers, you might consider adding a single box for a block of, for example, 10 computers. Doing this will help keep your chart visually simple. 4 Connect the computers to the hub using the line tool in your flow charting software. 5 Build other network areas around their own hub or switch using the same flow-charting shapes and tools. 6 Connect the hubs or switches on your drawings with connectors that represent the cabling that takes data between the two networks. 7 Add an Internet access point on your drawings with line connectors that indicates the hub or switch to which you will connect the access point. The exact way of drawing this and the way it connects will depend on the type of access point. In most cases, you can simply attach the access point to your main network hub node.
