Please read the following case study to complete the assignment You have been asked to design the entire cabling system for a medical instrument manufacture’s new warehouse. The company already has three buildings, each .5 miles apart and the warehouse, 2 miles away, will be the its fourth building. Currently, the building run on separate networks, but the company would like to be able to exchange data among them (networks). For example, the Quality Control Department in building 1 would like to be able to access servers in the research department in building 2. In addition, the Sales Department in building 3 wants to conduct video training sessions for the representatives in the field via the internet. In the warehouse, 50 shipping and packing personnel in the Fulfillment Department will be riding up and down the aisles on forklifts pulling inventory off the shelves daily. • sketch an arbitrary diagram of each building to show their locations with respect to each other and show/label the media types used to connect the buildings. • What kind of transmission media (cable types, speed, maximum distance before reaching signal degradation) would you recommend for each different building and department of the medical insurance company and why? • What network’s devices (routers, multilayers switches, managed switches…) would you place at the endpoints of cable used to connect the buildings? • What network devices would you use within each building (hub, switch, repeaters, etc.) to connect network segments and end users to the needs of all users while the cost is at the minimum? • What routing protocol would you implement and why? *Write a brief report to explain your entire design; that includes cable type used, network components/devices, routing protocols and network address of each network subnet within your internetwork
