Hello... I want to desin a network for a hospital (healthcare service). The figure attached is the final design that I made (after reviewing lots of healthcare figures & Cisco documents).
What do you think, is it practical (can be deployed)?

The design should be repeated in 6 other provinces & then connected by fiber optic for medical consulting between doctors.

After that, IGP (RIPng, EIGRP & OSPFv3) will be tested to show which one is the best in term of network convergence time, delay, throughput & some other criteria. OPNET will be used to perform simulation.

Suggestions, corrections.... please I need your help.

Sama,

That topology looks quite good. However, your whole infrastructure is contingent upon that 1 router. If, for some reason, it fails, the whole hospital network comes to a halt. I would recommend getting another router for redundancy.
Also, I do not see a firewall. You really should get one.

Thanks Kunalvaidya84 for the replay. really it was a relief for me :)

well I add another router, the firewall is connected to both of the routers. does its place is right? I want to connect this topology with another 6 similar topologies for making what is called (TeleRadiology) which is is the transmission of radiological patient images, such as x-rays, CTs, and MRIs, from one location to another for the purposes of sharing studies with other radiologists and physicians.

Can I connect this firewall with the firewall of another hospital? can I use fiber optic cables since the distance is near 300 km & more?

The new topology link is here:

Hello kunalvaidya84, thanks for your help

this is the last design I realized.

I have some question:
1. Do I need to put a layer 3 switch between the routers & the switches?
2. Can I use fiber optic to connect the hospitals?
3. is the place of the firewall right ?

send me your ideas. I really need help.

Apologies for the late reply. Here are my suggestions:

1. Yes! If you can justify the higher costs of a Layer 3 switch to your organization, that would be great. It would reduce the load on your border routers, which can now focus on their main jobs ie. BGP, etc. You can have SVIs on your Layer 3 switch and they would manage all the internal connections. So, ideally, I would have switch_1 and switch_2 upgraded to layer 3.

2. Of course you can. You would need the fiber cables and SFPs for connecting them on your routers.

3. Yes, it is the perfect place for your firewall.

interesting read that may share more insights into your design
