Coursework Assessment

202210

This assessment will assess the following Course learning outcomes:

• Understand the steps involved in planning and implementing a technical solution for a small business.

• Gather relevant information to help plan a technical solution to a problem.

• Plan a technical solution for a medium size network environment.

• Prototype a proposed technical solution using Packet Tracer.

• Plan the installation of a technical solution for a medium business environment.

• Prepare and present a technical report to a diverse group.

• Configure a Wire and Wireless LAN to support the requirements of a small business environment.

Instructions

Please read the following instructions:

• The weight of the Project is 25%.

• Project should be finished, submitted and presented no later than Week 14 ( ).

• Your project report should reflect your virtual network design (using Packet Tracer)

• Your project report should be descriptive and arranged in a neat, readable and understandable format.

• Check your report against grammatical language errors before submission.

• It will be expected from all the members of the group to have equal input in the project.

Project Tasks

Select an Organization and assume that your chosen organization consisting of three departments. Each department will have its own LAN with different network IP address. Your task is to design and configure these three LANs. Communications should be possible between the three LANs which should be connected to the same router as well as communication with other LANs on the Internet. Configure DHCP server in each LAN so that the hosts receive dynamic IP address rather than static IP address, except for the servers and peripheral devices such as printers which should be assigned static IP addresses.

Task 1: Department 1 – LAN 1

As a network administrator, you may be asked to help develop a technology plan by gathering data and researching options. This kind of work requires a good understanding of all seven layers of the OSI model, and it might involve collecting the following information:

• Hardware components needed such as local Servers, workstations, printers, and copiers, etc.

• Software resources that are used by end-users.

Fill the information gathered on Table 1 below.

Table 1: Technology Plan

Task2: Network Diagram

2.1 On your diagram, label the endpoint devices such as servers, workstations, and printers. Also label the intermediate devices used to connect other devices, such as switches and routers. You need to use a network-diagramming software such as Microsoft Visio to diagram the network, or you can use the free app.diagrams.net.

Figure 1: Network Diagram

2.2 Explain the physical media connecting the network components.

Task 3: Calculate Network IPv4 addresses

Fill Table 2 to show the number of end devices each LAN should be able to support, allowing for 25% growth. Follow these steps to fill in Table 2:

1. In the third column, assign the network addresses. Organize the network addresses beginning with the LAN supporting the most devices to the LAN with the fewest devices.

2. In the fourth column, identify the broadcast address for each of the three LANs.

3. In the fifth column, calculate the maximum number of hosts for each LAN, remembering to subtract the network address and broadcast address.

Table 2: Network Addresses

Task 4: Identify Host Addresses

In Table 3, follow the steps to identify the IP address range for each LAN you identified in Task 3:

• In the second column, list the first available host IP address a device can use on the subnet.

• In the third column, identify the last available host IP address a device can use on the subnet.

• In the last column, list the subnet mask for each subnet.

Table 3: Host Addresses

Task 5: Determine Scope Options

In Table 4, list the information the network admin will need when configuring the LANs, including the DHCP range, subnet mask, default gateway, and number of DHCP addresses. For each LAN, take the following into consideration:

• The Staff LAN requires many statically assigned IP addresses to allow for servers, printers, and other network devices. Assign the default gateway the first usable host IP address.

• In each LAN, assign the default gateway the first usable host IP address.

Table 4: DHCP Configuration

Task6: Explore TCP/IP Settings

Client-server applications use ports to address each other. List the port assignments for some common applications in your network in table 5.

Table 5: Common Applications Ports

Task 7: Wireless Configurations

You should consider the following security settings:

1. 1. SSID (organization name)

   2. Security mode (to the most secured option)

   3. Any other security measures.

Task 8: Connectivity verification and troubleshooting process

Document connectivity verification and troubleshooting process as follows:

• Connectivity inside each LAN

• Connectivity between the different LANs
