I have been asked to design a LAN for a very successful CPA firm with five departments in one building and a total of 560 employees. Currently, the firm has no networked computers and it is open to any suggestions you can offer. The firm does have a few requirements. It wants to ensure that it can easily expand its LAN in the future without exorbitant costs and without moving a lot of equipment. The firm also wants to ensure that every department has very fast access to the LAN and of course, it wants the LAN to remain up at all times. It has already decided to use the NetWare 6.5 network Operating System. What kind of LAN will you design for this company?

a) Desrcibe the Topology, Why?
b) Draw a diagram of Topology used.
c) Which Operating System, Why?
d) What type of NIC, Why?
e) Switch or Hub, Why?

Based on your questions, I have to ask. Why do you feel qualified to do this job? Those are not the kinds of questions that someone who is qualified should be asking.

I'm a student in CST and this is a class project that we are working on. I hope you or someone will help me on this topic.

Thanks
