hass71 does anyone have a documents or things to check when planning to design a network ,some sort of study so someone wont forget some considerations
jajoja Download cisco packet tracer and search for tutorials, or furthermore i recommend you to take cisco course google CCNA .
hass71 that's not what i mean, i wanted the study and planning side of the project, something related to project management. a checklist for example of thing to consider when building a network including servers switches...
hass71 very good ayman, thank you, but if there's a questionnaire so i can use to ask the clients , so that i can form an idea of what network they need
badbyte Well there are a lot of questions to answer. 1) How many computers do you want to put in this network of yours? Are you planning to make subnetting? 2) What kind of infrastructure do you want to implement?(wlan/lan) 3) If you are planning to use LAN, do you have lightning protection? Because almose all houses in Lebanon don't have that. And here I would recommend European power plugs. Also you will have to make a lot of reqirering in getting a proper Earth or "Terre" called and that takes long. 4) Do you have extra cable-canals in the walls that are empty for the LAN cables? 5) If you are planning to use wlan, do you have the right encryption? (wpa2/vpn) 6) Do you want to use static or dynamic IP-assignment? 7) What kind of services do you want to offer for your users? File-sharing, Internet, Firewalling, Authentication, etc. 8) If you intend to use just one of the services above, what kind of OS will the server be? 9) Since Lebanon's electricity isn't reliable, do you have a UPS or generator for backup? These are very basic questions that would get you thinking. I hope that it was an inspiration.
