Based on a set of network requirements for a small business I have created an intranet to satisfy the businesses specifications. The network design utilizes a private address space, layer 2 switches, layer 3 routing switches and firewalls. I will describe several design aspects of the network including the wiring design, IP addressing design, redundancy design and the Internet network design.
