Layer 1 Total Cost$8,230.75

Includes all Materials Listed With Recommended Quantities

Layer 1 ConsIf there are not enough initial cable drops, there will

be a substantial cost later to add more cable drops.If building code is not followed, the work may have

to be redone to fit code.If cables are not terminated properly, data

transmission may be sub par or non-existent If poor quality materials are used, they may need to

be replaced sooner. If MDF/IDF are located poorly, there may be added

length to the cable drops adding cost to the project

Layer 1 ProsIf cable drops are planned well, there will

be room for expansion later without added cost.

If quality materials are used, they will last much longer than poor quality materials

If MDF/IDF are properly located, cable drops will not need to be as long, saving money on materials

Labeling All of the Cabling for the computers as well as any wireless access points

will use blue Cat6 cable. All of the cabling for the printers will use green Cat6 cable. All of the backbone cabling will use red 62.5/125 Multimode Fiber Optic

cable. The keystone jacks at the end of each cable drop can be matched to the

color of the cable to easily differentiate the printer and computer drops. Blue keystone jacks will be used for the computers, and green keystone jacks will be used for the printers.

Patch cables will also follow the color scheme for easy identification in the MDF/ISDs.

Each port on each device should be numbered, and the corresponding cables should be numbered as well. Using the numbers, a database of all the information about each cable, such as what device it goes to, which VLAN the port belongs to, and any other relevant information can be stored in the database and referenced or changed as needed.

MDF and IDF LocationsMDF – Located on Floor 1 Room 1.8 This Location is near the POP and has HVAC delivery and Return vents to provide

adequate cooling. There are also plenty of power outlets.IDF A – Located on Floor 2 Room 2.31 This location is close in proximity of the MDF, has HVAC delivery and return, and

adequate power. Less backbone cabling will need to be run because of its position in relation to the MDF.

IDF B – Located on Floor 3 Room 3.10 This location close vertically to the MDF and IDF A. It has HVAC return and may need

a delivery vent added for airflow. Less backbone cabling will be needed because of its proximity to the MDF and other IDFs. It also has adequate power access. An alternate location could be Room 3.14. It already has HVAC return and delivery, but the cable drops would be longer.

IDF C – Located on Floor 4 Room 4.8 This location is also relatively close vertically to the MDF and other IDFs. It has HVAC

return and needs a delivery vent. It has adequate power as well, and Less backbone cabling would be needed as opposed to using other locations on this floor, such as Room 4.4.

LAN – Logical Topology

VLANsThere will be a total of 8 VLANs, One for each Department plus one for management.VLAN 10 – Management VLANVLAN 20 – Sales DepartmentVLAN 30 – Marketing DepartmentVLAN 40 – Accounting DepartmentVLAN 50 – Shipping DepartmentVLAN 60 – Software Development VLAN 70 – Technical Support (Internal)VLAN 80 – Technical Support (External)

A VLAN for each department is used to easily group users together based on their department and keep the traffic separate and secure. This would also allow the users to connect securely from out of the office to their department.

IP Addressing SchemeUser IP Addresses will be assigned using DHCPServers and Printers will Use Static AddressesPrinters will use addresses at the end of the rangeServers will use the first available addresses after

gateways have been assignedResources shared will all departments can use the

10.0.0.1 – 10.0.0.254 block of addressesRouter will use NAT to allow users access to the

Internet

Traffic Flow AssessmentBottlenecks could occur if the cable runs exceed

recommended lengths. Care has been taken to ensure that this does not happen.

Using fiber optics for backbone cabling and switch ensures that traffic should flow smoothly from the IDFs to the MDF and throughout the site.

VLANs separate all departmental traffic to limit unnecessary traffic.

MDF/IDF Fire Prevention RecommendationsSprinkler systems should be present in MDF/IDF All walls of MDF/IDF shall be lined with wall-to-

wall framing of ¾ inch AC grade plywoodAll surfaces (including unexposed side) of the

plywood shall be painted with a latex nonconductive fire-retardant overcoat
