In Constant Hall, assume the building was wired into three telecommunications closets, one on the first floor (next to room 1005), and two on the second floor – one on the east side of the building (next to office 2145) and one on the west (next to office 2054). On the first floor:
- 52 ports connect to classrooms via category 5e cabling.
- 36 ports connect to the MBA and advising offices via category 5e cabling.
- One multimode fiber optic cable connects to the campus backbone.
On the east side of the second floor:
- 10 ports connect to classrooms via category 5e cabling.
- 170 ports connect to offices via category 5e cabling.
On the west side of the second floor:
- 2 ports connect to classrooms via category 5e cabling.
- 104 ports connect to offices via category 5e cabling.
Your task is to determine the materials necessary to complete the wiring of the network and what switches to install. Submit a materials budget, including the prices and links for:
- Enough keystone jack faceplates to have one in each office and classroom.
- Enough RJ45 keystone outlets to have two in each office and classroom.
- Enough 48 port patch panels in the equipment room and telecomm closets to terminate all of the cable runs to each office and classroom.
- Enough workgroup switches to make all of the outlets in the building live.
- A core switch (a.k.a. aggregation switch) with enough SFP ports to connect to all of the workgroup switches.
In addition, submit a diagram that shows: 1) how the three rooms will be interconnected via trunk lines and 2) where each switch goes. You must use professional quality, managed switches. Use a blank piece of paper with three boxes drawn on it
