In order to properly address the Infrastructure upgrade of the Kamazon Network our group decided that an appropriate ip address schema that will take into account the idea that people will be using more than just a desktop computer. They will have tablets, laptops, departmental printers, and smart phones. This is also based upon the understanding that every Department will have at least two printers for the staff and one for the Manager/Supervisor or VP of that Department. So with that being said, we estimated that could be at least three or more accurately four ip addresses per employee. So we multiplied the number of users per department by the number of estimated devices that each employee will be using.
With the rationale in mind of estimating that there would be at least 4 possible devices per user, plus three possible printers per department, and the addition of a Wireless Access Point on the Management floor, network hardware which should include the printers we previously mentioned, one router for the LAN and WAN connections, a wireless access point, 12 printers for the entire organizations printing needs, and 5 servers
We determined that there had to be one File and Print server, A Directory server that is also running DNS and DHCP, an E-commerce/Database server, a Web Proxy server and a Web server.
It is understood that these servers are not part of the project plan per se, but by establishing an entirely new ip address schema we must address the number of servers so we can accurately determine the number of needed addresses. We also would also need ip addresses on the edge switches for each floor by creating 6 VLANS on the 48 port switch in the basement not to mention two firewall appliances that will create the companies DMZ. A VLAN also called a Virtual LAN is a Group of devices connected to one or more LANs that are configured (using management software) so that they can communicate as if they
