Site Details and Challenges (Summary)
To meet the customer requirements we must ensure there is a server back bone to hold all of the data
the company needs to be used/stored. Now that we have a secure location with a hub of our servers we
must make sites for the company on Hilo, Honolulu and Lihue. We must use a commercial WAN to
connect these three sites to the server hub. To ensure we always have a secure connection we will have
to use two different commercial WAN in the unlikely event one fails.
Once we have the three sites built and redundantly connected to two commercial WAN with
different vendors we now have the challenge of constructing a building with 3 floors. We will used the
third floor as the server floor per the customer request. The challenge here will be to ensure the WAN
connection to the servers must be protected by a firewall and DMZ. This will ensure the integrity of
the servers stay intact. Once the third floor is built and protected we will move to the 2 nd floor and
1rst floor.
The first and second floor will have minor challenges. We will need to install networking closest to put
a layer of distribution switches that will allow all 150 users to log on. Once all the cabling is complete
for the users to the networking closet we will need to make a cabling connection from one floor to the
other for the ability to have floors talk to each other.
Another challenge is ensuring that the network is replicating between the floors of the building. I am
running DHCP to take off the management of IPs. I have to make sure that the sub networks from each
floor are talking to each other via EIGRP. The last challenge is to make sure each
floor network can talk to the other floor networks using class B network due to the size
requirements.
Site Solution(s) and Technologies
, For the server farm we will place it in a historically safe geographical location on the central island of
Oahu, Hawaii. This will ensure the hub server farm is as safe as possible. To ensure constant
accessibility I will have back up of the each site required resources backed-up of the local site server
nightly. Therefore if we lose the server farm we can still work and the server farm is being restored. I
have done this to make each site a redundant failover as required for the company. If we lose the hub
the data save on each site server can be compiled to restore all data lost from the hub.
The WAN connection will use the same Cisco model of wireless router but I will have two separate
devices going utilizing two different commercial vendors. If one vendor goes down then the sites will
still have connectivity due to other commercial WAN connection. I will disable all SSID broadcast and
implement MAC-address filtering due to customers request for strengthen defense to protect
Kamehameha’s cultural heritage. I will be using Xfinity and DirectTV services that comes with support
via the contract. In that same contract I will require no less than 75 Mbps of data transport at the
company’s request.
At all three sites I will uses a very similar solution for the 3 rd floor of the buildings. I will build and
DMZ out of a firewall and then a router with ACL’s. In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized
zone), also sometimes known as a perimeter network or a screened subnetwork, is a physical
or logical subnetthat separates an internal local area network(LAN) from other untrusted networks --
usually the public internet (Lutkevich,2019).The equipment string will be the wireless router pulling in
the commercial signal going into the firewall to filer all incoming traffic. It will
then move into the router with ACLs. This same router will act as the core router for the entire building.
The router will be connected to our core switches to connect to servers conducting back up services for
the building. There will be two core switches on this floor to ensure if one device fails the other can
take over and still provide services to all the users. The core switches will then be connect to the
distribution switches were the other 75 local servers can be connected to the network per the company
requirement. There will be four 48-port switches for the distribution layer in networking closet to ensure
there are enough ports for connectivity. This design will provide you request of 75 servers, unbroken
access due to redundancy and protection from outside malicious intent due to the DMZ. I built the DMZ
to fulfill the requirement set by the customer to uphold the state of Hawaii’s strict security and regulatory
requirements.
The first and second floor of each building will be very similar. I will be using a layer 3 set of switches
that will be connected to the other floors. I will have two core switches on each floor names FL1-
CORE-SW1 and FL1-CORE-SW2. FL1-CORE-SW1 from floor 1 will be connected to FL2-CORE-
SW1 on floor 2 to make that route. This will allow and administrator to access devices from the 2 nd and
3rd floor if he is sitting on the first floor. After that we will have four layer
2 switches on each floor to provide the ample amount of port for 150 users to connect to the network
per the company requirement. I used two core switches per floor to satisfy the COO (Chief Operating
Officer) requirement of a redundantly connected network.
In conclusion trying to satisfy the requirements of the company I built a redundant dynamic network that
will self-heal (if a device goes down the other devices will pick up the load and continue operating). The
DMZ will protect the network from outside sources of malicious intent. I made each site able to become
its own redundant site. The project has a value of filling all requirements set forth by the company, easily
expandable for future applications, requires very little management due to dynamic nature and is
resiliently built giving the customer an extremely satisfying product per the set forth requirements.
