Let's delve into the realm of networking. Imagine you are tasked with designing a network for a growing company with three distinct departments: Engineering, Marketing, and Sales. Each department has unique needs and security requirements. The Engineering department requires high bandwidth for data transfer and code compilation, the Marketing department needs access to various social media platforms and marketing tools, and the Sales department needs secure access to customer data and CRM systems. Furthermore, the company wants to implement a guest network for visitors. The network should be designed with scalability, security, and performance in mind. Considering these requirements, address the following: Describe the network topology you would choose and why. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen topology in this scenario. Outline the IP addressing scheme you would implement. Include subnetting details and justification for your choices. Discuss the security measures you would implement to protect each department's data and ensure network security. Elaborate on firewall rules, access control lists (ACLs), and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS). Explain how you would segment the network to isolate the guest network from the internal network. What specific technologies or configurations would you use to achieve this? Describe how you would ensure high availability and redundancy in the network design. What measures would you take to prevent single points of failure? Outline the routing protocols you would use and why. How would you configure them to optimize network performance and ensure efficient data delivery?
