Wireless Local-Area Network

Following your submission in the Week Two individual assignment, “Logical Network Diagram,” the client approved your logical network diagram for their three retail locations in different cities with a locally hosted Data Center. The client has requested you propose an IP addressing scheme for this network and add a WLAN at each location into your diagram.

Revise your logical network diagram with a locally hosted Data Center to include the WLAN features. Annotate the diagram to include the following:

• Wireless access points for optimum coverage and their connectivity to the existing network devices
• IP addresses to all the network devices and the interfaces between the switches and the routers

Write a 1-page Microsoft® Word document explaining your chosen network layout and including the following:

• Why you chose the number of wireless access points you did for optimum coverage
• Your rationale for the IP addressing scheme you selected for this network
• Why you placed network devices (i.e., routers, switches, etc.) at the particular locations you did on your drawing
• The routing protocol you would use for this network and why

Note: You will use this assignment in your Week Four individual assignment, “Physical Network Diagram – Security and Business Continuity.”
