Your Company moves into a new building . Marketing is on the first floor , engineering is on the second floor , operations are on the third floor , and the call center is on the fourth floor . The LAN is organized neatly , with each floor having its own switch . Some of the groups on the floor are connected through hubs and the network is planned for orderly growth . The company grows faster and much differently than was planned , however , and the call center must be expanded . Some of the engineering department employees on the second floor and operations employees on the fourth floor move offsite , and the call center expands . Space is compressed and users move to other parts of the building , but their communities of interest do not change . The same users still need to communicate with the same services .
Write a 3-4 page plan ( 400 words per page ) explaining how a VLAN could be implemented so that bandwidth is not consumed . Your plan must ensure that the network is not flooded with packets , and that members of the same VLAN can be located in different buildings or cities . Include the following :
· The benefit of creating a VLAN .
· A plan to segment the network into different broadcast domains to avoid bandwidth consumption .
· A plan to improve security .
· The type of VLAN membership and the value of that choice over other options .
· The type of switch to be used , layer 2 or layer 3 , and why you would choose it over the other .
· The types of trunking configured on the switch .
