Introduction to Networking

The project aims to design and configure a LAN (Local Area Network) for a new branch of ARENA
Technology Sdn Bhd, a forensic
company in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This branch is located in a building with two blocks, "DRAGON block"
and "PYTHON block," each
having two floors. The network design involves both wired and wireless components, including the setup
of network devices such as
routers and switches. The goal is to create an efficient network layout, along with IP address
allocation using subnetting.
The scenario suggests that there's a detective company called ARENA, and they're opening a new office.
This office has
two big buildings with two floors
each. One building, called DRAGON, has offices for people who do paperwork and important work stuff. The
other building, PYTHON, is
where the super-smart tech people work on cool detective stuff. The detective's office needs computers
and stuff to talk to each other. So,
our job is to figure out how to connect all these computers, phones, and gadgets in the best way. We
count how many computers are in
each room and decide how they can talk to each other. We also plan the special numbers (like secret
phone numbers) for each computer.
We draw a map to show where everything goes and explain why we put things where they are. Then, we make
a colorful picture on a
computer to show everyone how it's going to work.
So, we make sure all the computers in the detective office can talk nicely to each other, and we draw a
picture to show how we did it!
