Task 8 Network Design Project

UniFi Evidence And Logical Topology

Build The Design, Then Explain The Network

UniFi Design Center shows where devices are placed and how coverage is expected to behave. Your topology explains how the network actually connects.

Recommended Logical Structure

Internet / WAN

ISP connection

Modem / ONT

Service entry

Gateway / Firewall

Routes and protects

PoE Switch

Central star LAN point

External network

WAN handoff

Protected edge

Ethernet / PoE

Wireless APs

Connected to LAN

Home office dock

Connected to LAN

TV / media / gaming

Connected to LAN

Cameras / doorbell

Connected to LAN

Wireless networks through access points

Family/private
Guest
IoT / smart home
Home office / cameras

The UniFi floorplan shows placement. The logical structure above shows how to explain the network connection path.

Evidence Quality Checks

The selected realestate.com.au floorplan is imported or recreated.

The network core location is labelled.

The internet/WAN entry point, modem/ONT and gateway/router/firewall are shown or explained.

A switch or PoE switch is the central wired LAN point.

Wireless access points are placed for room and coverage needs.

Coverage or heatmap evidence supports the access point placement.

Ethernet, PoE, wireless and WAN links are labelled where relevant.

Guest, IoT, home office, family or camera separation is shown or explained.

Common Errors

  • Do not submit only the real estate floorplan.
  • Do not submit only a UniFi heatmap with no topology explanation.
  • Do not place access points without explaining the room or coverage reason.
  • Do not leave guest, IoT, camera or home office access as one flat network without comment.
  • Do not forget to state limitations such as estimated scale or unknown wall materials.
