1. Abstract
Major part of the world is in the hands of technology .Like the telephone and the television, the network and data communication has performs an important role in restructuring our daily lives While folks of an older generation remember a much different age, most people can hardly remember a time where the network and data communication was not available. The Internet is not just a network; it is a whole community in and out of itself. It is a revolution that changed our society, our lives, and our entire world. What other thing can we invariably say has completely connected everyone in the world, one that is free of social and cultural differences? The Network acts as a common ground, a community of information and

recreation, for the world to walk upon. As of now, it is even easier for some to meet friends online than in real life - with sites like Myspace and Facebook dominating most of the social scene. These are best examples of social network sites. The main aim of this assignment is to suggest a effective and efficient network for ICT

Resources Malaysia Public Limited Company, which is the one of the supplier of business equipment and office supplies of its kind in South East Asia. This network proposal includes the details about the network that is suitable for the ICT and the advantages and disadvantages of it. It also includes the network topologies, transmission media, protocols, network devices, architecture technologies, possible problems and the future enhancements in the network of ICT.

2. Introduction
2.1 Preface
ICT Resources Malaysia Public Limited Company has hired you as a network consultant. This company is the only supplier of business equipment and office supplies of its kind in South East Asia. The lack of competition has caused the owners not to make major investments into the business. A nationally recognized competitor recently opened for business with plans to put ICT Resources out of business. In response to this, the owners of ICT Resources have decided to reinvest substantial sum of money in the company.

2.2 Objectives

To provide an efficient and effective network for ICT Network. Identify the advantage and disadvantage of Networks. Understanding the type transmission media Understanding different type of topology Indentify and provide suitable network topology and transmission medium for ICT Resources.

Identify and propose the LAN and WAN network connections

3.Analyzing the Layout of the ICT

ICT Resources locally owns a 2 storey building and currently has already grown to a level where they now have resources of 35 staff and this figure is still growing. They have developed and spread their business to 3 strategic locations throughout South East Asia with more upcoming offices in other locations planned for 2012. These new offices will incorporate the retail concept coupled with local sales offices. ICT Resources decided to set up office with approximately 30 to 35 employees. The goal is to determine the type of network topology they will need within the office. Consider the types of computer and number of printers, audio devices, microphones, LCD projectors, and multifunction peripherals that are needed. Before they invest money in the local area network, the owner wants to know more about networks and internet connection.

3.1 Assumptions

Now there is no internet facility for all the employees in ICT expect the location head In the main office there are 3 departments. Production department, accounts department and

Administrative department Presently there is no local network inside the office. The number of employees in each department is as, 5 in accounts,5 in administrator, 19 in and 2 as network administrators.

Each employee has each computer and each computer have sound device and micro phone.

Each department consist of one printer, production department consist of LCD projectors and one security cameras.

4. Network
Network is a collection of computers and devices that are interconnected with each other .through communication links .Link is a communication pathway which helps to transfer data from one device to another device .A computer network can interact with other network by two ways wired or wirelessly .For efficient communication , two device must be connected with each other. There are two possible type of connection are available one is point to to point another one is multipoint. Point to point : A point- to point connection provides a dedicated link between two devices .It is used to establish the direct connection. Multipoint : A multipoint connection in which more than two specific device shares a single link.

4.1. Network Advantage


Information Sharing : The main advantage of network is information sharing. A large number of users belonging to same area or same organization but spread over at different places can communicate and share useful files, software and information at right times via network of computers. Speed: Sharing and transferring of data occurring in a network is rapid. So we can send the data of larger size like high resolution photographs over the network. Flexible Access: Computer network allows accessing the file in a flexible manner. Security: Network is also allows establishing security by ensuring that the network users may only have access to certain files and applications. Sensitive files and data in the network are password protected to avoid the illegal coping of data Work Group Computing: Work group software such as Microsoft back office allows concurrent access of files and data. Centralized Software Management: Files can be stored on a central computer (the file server) allowing data to be shared throughout the entire network Cost: Individual license copy of many software may be costly. Shared programs on the network allows easy up gradation of file server rather than the individual work stations.

Hardware ,software system and network

Page 8

Hardware software systems and Network


Resource sharing: Network allows to share the resources like printer , scanner , fax machines modems Back up Facility: Files can be backed up more easily when they are all on a central fileserver rather than when they are scattered across a number of independent workstations.

4.2 Network Disadvantage


Loss of data and resources: Network failure and device failure will shut the entire network it causes loss data. Network faults cause loss of resources. If the network stops operating then it may not be possible to access to various computers. Difficult to manage: Network set up is very costly because of hardware and software. Network set up take a lot of time to complete. The larger the network becomes difficult to manage Location of resources: Resources could not be located too far from users. If resources are too far it take to much time to share the resources like printer .it will negatively affect the access flexibility. Storage space and Bandwidth: Users may use too much bandwidth - for example when listening to music files or watching video clips - preventing others from using the network facilities properly .Usage of larger storage may cause problems on the network.

4.3 Types of Network


According to the size of the network we can divide the network into three types. Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) and Metropolitan Area Network (MAN).

4.3.1 LAN (Local Area Network) Local area networks are designed to allow resources to be shared between personal computers or workstations. The resources to be shared can include hardware, software or data .The best example of LAN is found in business organizations. One of the computers may be given a large capacity disc which acts as a server to clients. Softwares are installed into central server and is used by the whole network group .The most common LAN topologies are bus ,ring ,star
Hardware ,software system and network Page 9

Hardware software systems and Network


.currently LAN size is limited to few kilometers. Generally, LAN is using one type of transmission medium. 4.3.2 WAN (Wide Area Network) Wide aera network provides long distance transmission of data ,image audios and video information over large geographic aera.WAN can be simple like dial up lines connect to the individual pc and internet .It can be complex also like backbones that connect the internet. We normally refers two types WAN switched WAN connects to the end systems and the point to point WAN connects home computer to an internet service provider. 4.3.2 MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) A metropolitan area network is a network with a size between a LAN and a WAN. It normally covers the area inside a town or a city .A best example of a MAN is the part of telephone network that can provide a high-speed DSL line to the customer .MAN provides high speed connectivity, normally to the internet. It provides the internet connectivity for a LAN in a metropolitan network.

4.4 Network Architecture


Network architecture, is the logical and structural layout of the network consisting of transmission equipment, software and communication protocols and infrastructure (wired or wireless) transmission of data and connectivity between components
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/2761-what-is-network-architecture

4.4.1 Peer-to-peer Network Peer-to peer network is a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler, but they usually do not offer the same performance under heavy loads. In peer to peer network there is no dedicate server . Thus each computer in such a network is part server and part client
Figure .1 Hardware ,software system and network Page 10

Hardware software systems and Network

4.4.2 Client server Network In client-server architecture, a business's computer network will have a server computer, which functions as the "back bone of the organization, and a group of client computers, which are commonly called workstations. By using the server we can improve efficiency of client server architecture .Most of the cases the server part of client server having large capacity of storage and also provides high functionality .Client part in the client server

4.5 Network Topology


Network topology refers to the Structure or design of the connected devices. Network topologies can be physical or logical. Physical Topology means the physical design of a network including the devices, location and cable installation. Logical Topology refers to the fact that how data actually transfers in a network as opposed to its design.

Network Topology

Mesh

Star

Bus
Figure 3

Ring

Tree

4.5.1 Mesh topology In mesh topology every device has a dedicated point to point connection with every other device. The term dedicated means that link carries traffic only between the two devices it connects. In mesh topology needs n(n-1)/2 duplex mode links ,n is the no of nodes.

Figure 4.

Hardware ,software system and network

Page 12

Hardware software systems and Network

Advantage Use of large no of links reduce network traffic A mesh topology is robust in nature .if one link becomes unusable it does not disable the entire system. It offers privacy and security

Disadvantage Use of large number of cables makes the network very much expensive Interconnection of device leads to difficulty in installation and reconfiguration of devices Hardware required to connect each link can make it more expensive to implement

Table 2 4.5.2 Star topology In a star topology each device has a dedicated point to point connection with only device usually known as a hub. In a star topology devices are not directly linked to one another. Unlike mesh topology it does not allow direct traffic between the devices. The controller act as an exchange between the two devices.

Figure 5.

Advantage Less expensive than mesh topology because it requires less number of cables. Easy to install and reconfigure it, each device needs only one link and one input-output port. Robust it nature, failure of one system doesnt affect the whole network

disadvantage Dependency of all topology on a single point called hub. If the hub goes down then the whole system will be dead. The cost of the hub make the network more expensive

Table 3

Hardware ,software system and network

Page 13

Hardware software systems and Network


4.5.3 Bus topology A bus uses multipoint connection instead of point to point-to-point connection. Tap in a bus topology one cable acts as a backbone and nodes are connected in a bus topology through drop lines tap.A drop line is a connection running between the device and the main cable.

Figure 6
Figure 4.

Advantage A Bus topology is easier to install. Less expensive than star and mesh because less cables are required, Less redundancy of cables

Disadvantage Difficulty in reconnection and fault isolation Signal reflection at the taps can count degradation and quality breaks in the bus cable stops all transmission.

Table 4

4.5.4 Ring Topology In a ring topology each device has a dedicated point to point link with one two device on either side of each. Signal is passed along the ring in one direction from one device to another device until it reaches a destination. Each device in a ring topology uses a repeater.

Figure 7. Hardware ,software system and network Page 14

Hardware software systems and Network


Advantage Disadvantage

A ring is relatively easy to install and It uses unidirectional traffic. A break in the reconfigure it. ring can stop all transmissions. In a ring topology each device linked only its intermediate neighbors. For addition and removal we need to change only two connections. Table 5

4.5.5Tree Topology A tree is a variation of star topology. Nodes in a tree are linked to standard controller known as hub which directly controls the traffic of the network. However not every device are directly connected to the central hub. Majority of the devices are connected to the secondary hub.

Advantage It provides point to point connectivity with the primary and the secondary hub. It provides an easy exchange Table 6

Disadvantage

4.6 Transmission Media
Transmission media is anything that carry signal from source to destination. Best example transmission media is air. It can be metallic cables or fiber optics cable. In telecommunication transmission media is divided in to two broad categories guided media and the unguided media. Guided media provides connection from source to destination by using twisted pain cables , coaxial cables , and fiber optic cables. Unguided media

Figure 9.

4.6.1 Twisted Pair Cable Twisted pair cable consist two conductors having an insulation coating .One of the wire used to carry signal to the receiver, and the other is used only as a ground reference. The receiver uses the difference between the two. There is a chance to inference and cross talk it results in the creation of unwanted signal. Effect of the unwanted signals change according to the arrangement of wires like wires are parallel .If both wires situated at different location then the noise or crosstalk will be more, this results in a difference at the receiver. By twisting the pairs, we can maintain .Twisting makes it possible that both wires are equally affected by external influences .Two types of twisted pair cables are available. Unshielded twisted pair and shielded twisted pair cables.

Figure 10. Hardware ,software system and network Page 16

Hardware software systems and Network

4.6.2 Coaxial Cable Un like twisted pair cables Coaxial cable carries signal having higher frequency .Coaxial cable has a central core conductor of solid or standard wire enclosed in a insulating sheath which is ,in turn, encased in an outer conductor of metal foil braid or a combination of the two. The outer
Figure 11.

metallic wrapping serves both as a shield against noise and as the second conductor , which completes the circuit. Coaxial cables are widely used in analog telephone networks.

4.6.3 Fiber Optic cable A fiber optic cables transmits signal in the form of light .These cables are made by glass or plastics. Signal in the fiber optics transmits on the basis of total internal reflection. Fiber optics use reflection to guide light through a channel. A glass or a plastic core is surrounded by a cladding of less dense glass or
Figure 12.

plastic. The difference in density of two materials

must be such that a beam of light moving through the core is reflected off the cladding instead of being refracted to it. Fiber optics is often found in back bone networks.

4.7 Standards, Protocols and Application


Protocols are the special rules that exist for the data interchange at the application program level. Computer networking involves many different pieces of hardware and software that help move data from one computer to another. These different elements could not work together unless they had a common understanding of formats, codes and operating procedures. A protocol is a combination of these factors codified into a common standard. All networking technologies have standards associated with them. Network standards facilitate the interoperability of network technologies.[2] TCP/IP Protocol or Internet Protocol TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). Main functions of TCP/IP protocol is described below.[3] Addressing/Multiplexing: The main function of TCP protocol is multiplexing the data received from various process .This help to send the data on the network layer. Connection establishment, management and termination: TCP provides set of procedures that devices follow to negotiate and establish TCP connection over which data can travel. Data handling and packaging: TCP defines a mechanism by which applications are able to send data from it to higher levels

Routing / Indirect Delivery


When source and final destination are situated so far away means both are not attached directly. In these case datagram can send indirectly Fragmentation and Reassembly However, the maximum frame size of each physical/data-link network using IP may be different. For this reason, IP includes the ability to fragment IP datagrams into pieces so they can each be carried on the local network

5.3 Proposed network Architecture


Client server architecture is suit for ICT resources.ICT resources is spread over the south east asia. In a client-server model, there can be only one server and one or more than one clients. The clients are connected to the server. Server is a computer system that is shared by several users in network. A network consists of more than one computer,each performing a particular task .This model consists of high end servers, which provides services to the clients as per the request sent by the client on a network. Client systems never function as servers. It is not possible for one client to access shared resources on another clients system .client server architecture offers more security than per to peer technology. Congestion: Client-server networks can become congested and overload the server with requests Network Alterations: In client-server set-ups, a server can be altered without disturbing the clients, while P2P systems require accessing every peer in the network.[4]

Hardware ,software system and network

Page 21

Hardware software systems and Network


5.4 Proposed Network Topology
Proposed network topology for ICT resources is extended star topology. Extended star topology is the combination two star topology .Each devices are connected to the central controller called hub .In star topology direct linkage of connected device is not allowable. So the breakage of one device does not depends the entire system. The entire system can continue its working.

A star topology is less expensive than a mesh topology. In a star each device needs only one link and one I/O port to connect it to any other number of others. This factor also makes it easy to install and reconfigure .Far less cabling needs to be housed , and additions, moves and deletions involve only one connection between that device and hub.

Hub

(Example of star topology) Figure 15.

5.5 Proposed transmission medium
Proposed transmission media for ICT resources is fiber optic cables. we need two types of mediums
in which one medium for the internal LAN and other for the connection to the ISP (Internet service Provider). Ethernet 10BaseT (Cat5e, Unshielded Twisted Pair cable) is used for LAN configuration Advantage of Cat5e cables.

Flexibility : Flexibility is one of the major advantages offered by Cat5 cables. The technology it uses is so simple that it is possible for a nonprofessional person to install it and start using it. Cables can also be as long as you need Ease of Installation: A Cat5 cable is very user-friendly to install Ruggedness: Cat5e cables are not easy to break or snap. If they do break, it is easy to repair them. For connection to Internet service provider 10BaseF is recommended which is supported by Optical Fiber. Reasons for opting optical fiber for connection to ISP are.

No shock hazard Longer life expectancy than copper or coaxial cable High data rate and high band width Secure communications

Hardware software systems and Network 5.6 Description for above scenario
LAN ICT resources consist of LAN and WAN network.ICT network office is a two storeybuilding according to the network diagram Ground floor have accounts section and administrative section. Administrative department contain five personal computers, one fax machine and one printer. Telephones are used for communicate with the clients and also communicate with the other department.fax machines are used for client communication .Printer is used to take the important documents .The whole network is connected by hub. Here hub acts as a connector. It connects the wires coming from different branches. Accounts department in the ground floor contains s personal computer one printer and one telephone connection. Telephone communication allows client communication. VLAN Configuration for First Floor A VLAN allows a network administrator to create groups of logically networked devices that act as if they are on their own independent network, even if they share a common infrastructure with other VLANs. The benefits of VLAN are Security, cost reduction, higher performance,

broadcast storm migration, IT staff efficiency and Simpler project or application management. Advantages

Cost And time Reduction Creating virtual work groups Security

First Floor contains production department which contains 21 personal computer ,one video camera ,one printer , one projector , projector screen ,telephone. Server room is located in first floor. Routers are used to connecting networks together. A router runs on software that allows the device to move data from one network to another. Routers operate at the network layer.

WAN ICT resources Malaysia is the only supplier of business equipment and office supplies of its kind in South East Asia. They have developed and spread their business to 3 strategic locations throughout South East Asia with more upcoming offices in other locations planned for 2012.This office is distributed in a particular geographic area so we have to establish the Wireless area network for communication between these offices. The above diagram shows the WAN network diagram contains 3 network firewalls for security and the entire network bulding.ICT network uses switched WAN network. It connects the end systems, which usually comprise a router (internetworking connecting device) that connects to another LAN or WAN. The best example of switched WAN is ATM networks.

5.7 VPN (Virtual Private Network)


A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. A virtual private network can be contrasted with an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost.[5]

Figure 16.

Advantages

Cost saving: eliminating the need for expensive long-distance leased lines. VPN reduces longdistance telephone charge .It offers offloading of support cost

Flexibility and Reliability: VPN is improving the reliability of data services of company. Better Performance: Owing to the fact that more high capacity data service options can be used, the bandwidth and efficiency of the network generally increases after a VPN solution is installed.

Hardware ,software system and network

Page 25

Hardware software systems and Network

Improved Security: The use of encryption protocols and authentication helps secure the data that is t raveling over the VPN channel

Disadvantages of VPN

. VPNs require an in-depth understanding of public network security issues and proper deployment of precautions.

The availability and performance of an organization's wide-area VPN (over the Internet in particular) depends on factors largely outside of their control.

5.8 IP Addressing
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier for a node or host connection on an IP network. An IP address is a 32 bit binary number usually represented as 4 decimal values, each representing 8 bits, in the range 0 to 255 (known as octets) separated by decimal points. This is known as "dotted decimal" notation. The Class of the address and the subnet mask determine which part belongs to the network address and which part belongs to the node address.There are five different class addresses class A (begin with 0xxx, or 1 to 126 decimal), class B(10xx, or 128 to 191 decimal),class c(10xx, or 128 to 191 decimal),class D(1110, or 224 to 239 decimal), Class E(1111, or 240 to 254 decimal). ICT will get a privet address form ISP and the all devices inside will use public IP address. The IP range, subnet mask, and network address for each network of ICT is as below. All network address is given below

Hardware software systems and Network 7 .Network Problems

Cables: Most of the network problems are caused by faulty cables. Breakage of cables leads to the shut down of the entire net work system.

Connectivity issues: This can be caused by a number of things, including configuration changes or the malfunction of connectivity devices, such as in the case of a switch, router or hub. The first thing to do, of course, is to check your physical connections. If something is disconnected, you'll need to reconnect and test it in order to make sure that the problem is resolved

Duplication of IP address: Each IP address in the network refers a specific computer. But sometimes two will receive the same one as the result of an error. When this happens

Software problems: Registry problems may also cause a networking issue, an error or invalid attack of the software installed in a network can dump the entire system.

Security Issues: unauthorized access leads to lose data. Virus and the malwares (corrupted program files) are common threat which we can find on the network.

8. Future Enhancements

ICT resources Malaysia is going to establish their 3 branches on south east asia. Employees and customers will also increase. Use one more server or mainframe to manage the entire network system.

Use secure modems, crypto cable routers for ensuring the security of the entire network system.

Implement new techniques and install new software to check security concerns like hacking and stealing of information.

Use of efficient firewall like packet filtering to protect the network Instead of using extended star topology. Use hybrid topologies. Use advance network cables for LAN and WAN

Hardware software systems and Network 9. Conclusion


As per the requirement of ICT Network resource proposed contain the combination of LAN and WAN Network. Extended star topology is used to build the whole network .The main advantage of using this topology is , it requires less amount of cables .Network firewalls are added to this network for ensuring the entire network security. Client server architecture is proposed for this network .in client server network one computer is act as a server and the rest of them will be the clients. Data will transmit between the client and the server. Fiber optic cables are suggested for ICT resources as transmission medium. In fiber optic cables high frequency and high bandwidth data will travel. It increases the network efficiency. Each department has different networks so that data will be secure between departments. The concept of VLAN will help this dividing network. Hug is acts as a connector. The normal cost for the development of network is calculated and it will not become a big amount when it comes to profit after the using it. To connect between the buildings the VPN concept is used its more cost effective and efficient too.
