Technical Clarfication on Local Area Network of ERL 1 and ERL 2 (Proposed)

NO Techncial Clarfication by FEED Contractor Owner's Response

1 Owner to confirm make and model for core switch and distribution switch. Core Switch:
Make: Cisco
Model: 3750G

Distribution Switch:
Make: Cisco
Model: 2960G/ 24 Ports and SG300/24 Ports

2 Owner to confirm whether current core switch can suport layer 3 functionality Affirmitive
3 Owner to confirm ports type and availability both uplink and user ports 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports and two 1G SFP ports on Distribution
Switch
4 ERL 1 network will be interfaced with ERL 2 via layer 3 through core switch connectivity. This will Since many buildings of ERL 1 will be demolished during the
minimize the network complexity thus providing network isolation between ERL 1 and ERL 2 whilst development of ERL 2, we suggest new LAN infrastructure design
maintaining current network configuration of all ERL 1 devices. For those ERL 1 devices shifted to that will seamlessly intregate devices from different units and
other locations within ERL 2, these devices shall be configured to link back to ERL 1 Network locations into a single intellegently devised network
although physically connected via ERL 2 network.
5 Owner shall confirm whether the existing servers shall be located physically in the same room or Current servers are located at the administrative building of ERL
different room of ERL 2 servers within ERL 2 administrative Building 1, which is mostly likely to be demolished. All servers should be
physically located in a central location, which is preferrably at
ERL 2 administrative building.
6 New fiber optic cables will be supplied and laid for new connectivity between existing ERL 1 Understood
equipment and ERL 1 LAN in ERL 2 administrative building and existing fiber optic cables will not be
used. Owners to confirm understanding.
7 Owner shall confirm whether current fiber backbone cable type whether multimode or single mode
and its core capacity 50 μm, 6-core, multimode fiber optical
8 Owner shall confirm whether current local ISP will also be relocated to ERL 2 administration Building Optional; another ISP may be sought with better offers but single
and still be connected with ERL 1 and internet access for ERL 2 shall be via ERL 1 ISP shall provide Internet connectivity to both units.
9 The current internet access will be upgraded to bigger bandwidth e.g. 20 Mbps etc. which will Understood; it is consequential.
accommodate both ERL 1 and ERL 2. Owner to confirm understanding.
10 No changes on ERL 1 LAN architecture topology since the existing ERL 1 distribution switches are Better suggestions are appreciated.
connected to existing ERL 1 Core switch
11 Owner to confirm make, model, model and OS version for existing Servers at ERL 1 1. HP, proliant DL380 G6,
2. HP, proliant DL380P G8,
3. Dell, PowerEdge R730 G13
12 Based on the current design the existing laboratory will not be demolished. Owner to confirm if LAN No
and components at existing laboratory will relocated to the new laboratory for ERL 2
