Mr. Robertson would like a proposal to upgrade the network with updated switches that
support 1 Gigabit Ethernet copper, 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber, and Power over Ethernet
(PoE) and to provide 1 Gigabit Ethernet access to the servers. The proposal should also
cover secure WLAN access on floors 6 through 10 with centralized management. Include
an IP addressing scheme that reduces the number of Class C networks the hospital uses.
Mr. Robertson wants to reduce the number of networks leased from the Internet service
provider (ISP).

Scenario One Questions
The following questions/directives refer to scenario one:

1. What are Pearland Hospital's business requirements?

2. Are there any business-cost constraints?

3. What are the network's technical requirements?

4. What are the network's technical constraints?

5. Prepare a logical diagram of the current network.

6. Does the hospital use IP addresses effectively?

7. What do you recommend to improve the switching speed between floors?

8. Based on the number of servers and clients provided, what IP addressing scheme
would you propose?

9. What routing protocols do you recommend?

10. What solution do you recommend for WLAN access and the network upgrade?

11. Draw the proposed network solution.
