Summary

A school network is planned. It covers the network architecture, security, and equipment needed. Students can learn about network design and security in a school setting.

Network Architecture

A client/server network is proposed. The network will use a hybrid wired and wireless topology. The network will be divided into VLANs for security.

Equipment and Budget

Equipment for the network is listed. A budget is provided. Changes to the equipment are suggested to reduce costs.

Network Security

Security measures for the network are discussed. These include physical security, virus protection, and network monitoring. The network will use a firewall and VLANs to protect data.

Department-Specific Recommendations

Specific equipment and setup are recommended for each department. These include computers, printers, and network switches. The library and art department have special needs.
