NETWORK HARDWARE REQUIREMENT

[Jaybeepy]

. The requirementsof this design are summarized as follows:
• The building has three floors.
• There are 300 user workstations and 10 servers.
• Users must be grouped according to the projects they’re working on, but the users for
each project are located on all three floors.
• There must be fault tolerance for communicating between the floors.
What features would you look for on the switches you purchase for this design? Explain
why you would want each feature. Do you need to include any other devices in this design?

Is this a schoolwork assignment or not? 

If this is a legitimate project, what is the budget for this entire exercise?

[Kasun Bandara]

seems like assignment. 

1. you need to establish redundant links between core , distribution and access switches. also since only 300 users, you can have collapsed architecture using core and access layer.

2. core and distribution switches can utilize stack feature to maintain redundancy and fault tolerance

3. if this needs, automatic user grouping, cisco ISE can use to authenticate and segregate users using dynamic VLAN feature
