Overview of Internetworking Assignment - Primary School Network Design with Guest Network
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) - This assignment is designed to assess students' knowledge and skills related to the following learning outcomes:
- Analyse and report on the current and future state of the internetworking infrastructure and its applications.
- Implement a process to support the administration and management of internetworking.
Assignment Description: Project Scope
A small business network has to be designed for a primary school. The school has occasional guest users (Max 10) visiting it. There are a total of 50 users in the School. A FTP server is also available for sharing files.
Network requirement:
1. Separate subnet for guest and LAN network.
2. The guest network should be restricted to access only FTP service on the FTP server and all other access to the LAN network should be blocked.
3. IP Network Design
4. Identify the hardware - Switches and Routers.
5. Configuration details on hardware
Report Contents:
In your report you need to explain in details the process of planning and designing the network, make sure that you elaborate in paragraph style all stages and please avoid to list only bullets points without full explanations.
