What to do:
As part of the IT Services and the Technical Support Team, you were task to create a network
diagram that shows how the various devices in the network are connected within offices in order to
ensure the ease of communication in the office. The diagram should include details such as the IP
Address, types of devices used, the cables and connectors used. You should also include any
additional details or notes that may be relevant to the network setup.
You may use the Floor plan above to plan out the network architecture.
After planning out and design the diagram, present your network set-up in the class thru Powerpoint
presentation.
Using of Images for diagrams from Google is allowed (e.g., icons to be used for routers, modems,
etc.) but no copying of already created network designs or diagrams from the internet. Anyone found
will automatically have zero(0) grade.
