Network design proposal for 5* hotel

 Networking requirements

To design network for 5 star hotel which has 10 floor in each floor 20 rooms in each

room one computer all of these should have internet connection and it should have

wireless in the lobby area and swimming pool and the guests in the rooms also. There

is 15 user on the hotel management. The 5 star hotel one ADSL connection which is

to be shared among computers in the rooms, swimming pool and lobby area, guests in

the rooms, and hotel management staff. The computers in the rooms should have

security software. The wireless access in the lobby and swimming pool area should be

secure.

 Requirement analysis

The 5 star hotel support 20 computers in each floor. The number of floors is 10. So

200 desktop computers would be required. To connect those computers with internet

connection will need to 10 switches in each floor one switch. All switches linked to

the primary router. All switches connected with wireless access point to provides

wireless connection to the guests in the rooms. The location of the primary router in

the lobby area that will be supported with wireless access point and the swimming

pool need to repeat the signal of the wireless access point from primary router by

wireless repeater. All the computers in the rooms should have an antivirus software to

secure all the computers. The hotel support 15 users on the hotel management so 15

desktop computers would be required. All the 15 computers connected by router

instead of the primary router because the hotel management need to be setup for the
hotel management staff which should not be accessibly by the guests. All the

wirelesses connection supported with WAP/WAP2 PSK protection to be secure

 Network design strategy

The strategy is to create a network has highest standards and quality. We can connect

all the 20 computers in on floor by router but its price higher than switch, and we can

connect with a hub but it is inefficient because its speed in transmit data very unequal

to a switch also the same thing with the 15 users in hotel management staff. The

access points in all switches can be replaced with a repeaters but the access point will

save the money paid for repeaters cables. Lobby area supported with wireless access

point from the same router that will link all the switches in the 10 floors. I can replace

the primary router with a gateway but all the switches have same protocol and router

cheaper than gateway. The most suitable to have wireless connection in swimming

pool is repeat the signal of wireless access point from primary router by wireless

repeater. The computers in hotel management connected with router supported with

wireless access point. We can link with the primary router but the requirement require

separated connection between the guests and the staff.

 Network design explanation

ADSL provide an internet connection to hotel management staff router and to the

primary router. Staff router provide internet wireless and wired to 15 computers. The

primary router has wireless connection by access point to all the guests in the lobby.

In swimming pool there a wireless repeater repeat access point of primary router

signal. Also primary router link 10 switches as LAN. Each one of all the switches

connect 20 computers and provide a wireless access point.
