Advanced Network Design Assessment Title - Local Area Network Design and Setup using VLANs for VOIP
Purpose of the assessment - Main objectives of this assignment is to enable student to understand networking devices, gather requirements for a given business case study, plan a network design and setup VLAN appropriately using physical networking devices. After successful completion of this assignment, students should be able to:
a. Analyse the need for advanced networks, standards and network solutions
b. Investigate suitable network designs to match requirements.
c. Create appropriate frameworks and standards for network implementation
d. Produce detailed business reports for planning, designing, implementing and comparing networks appropriate to business requirements.
Assignment Description -
This assignment is extension of first assignment to Wide Area Network.
Design an advanced network for the given case study given in assignment 1, and connect each floor with Wide Area Network i.e. router to router connection.
Write a report on a network plan and configurations.
1. Draw a complete advanced network design for a chosen case study. Include at least two floors and VOIP for each floor.
2. Detailed setup of advanced network devices.
3. Write configurations of each networking device which are included in the whole network.
4. Configure switches, routers and PCs on physical networking devices and demonstrate the working model.
In your report include the following contents
- Project Scope
- Network diagrams
- Project hardware requirements - Name of the network device with manufacturer's name, series, model and ports
- Network device configurations - Include most of the suitable feature which you have studies from laboratories 7 to 10.
Demonstration: Students can demonstrate in a group of 2. Students should be ready with all setup and configurations before start of the laboratory class. Tutor will ask 2-3 questions to each student to demonstrate any configuration of the setup. Demonstration from each student should not be more than 3 minutes.
