copper. Network access and distribution devices are currently 100 Mbps hubs, and the core is a 100
Mbps Layer-2 switch.
Development of the network has taken place over the past eight years in a series of steps that involved
minimal planning, with the exception of the WAN links, which have been recently redesigned. The
current network is characterized by slow response and frequent outages.
The engineering department uses a database server located in the engineering building. This server
processes heavy local traffic that keeps the local network at 70% of bandwidth. Accounting uses
commercial package for general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable; these packages are
located on a server in the administration building. This server processes heavy local traffic and light
traffic from other buildings. All other servers are located in the information-processing center.
All employee use e-mail located on one server in the information-processing center. There is a web server
that is available for public use and an internal web server that is available to employees for company
news items and for human resource applications, such as an internal jobs-available database. The
external web server is in a new Corporate Internet module.
The internal network traffic is expected to grow at 10% per year for the next five years. The IT manager
of TESTKING has asked you to design an up-to-date, high-performance, scalable, secure, manageable,
