Background
The SISTC recently had gone through a partial renovation. The school has 4 floors. According to the new layout, the ground floor has a reception room with 6 desks and a lecture hall. The first floor has a computer cluster with 40 PCs, a computer laboratory with 30 workstations with computer facility, a lecture hall and five staff offices. The second floor has two research laboratories for research and post-doctoral researchers. This floor had 8 staff offices and a conference room. All workstations need two data points to get connected to the internet.
Each floor also requires wireless connectivity to enable the staff and students to get connected to the internet. SISTC requires new LAN architecture for these floors.
Imagine you are the network manager of the school and required to write a report with the flowing section:
