Purpose of the assessment
Main purpose of this assignment is to enable student to configure networking devices for a given business case study and understand limitations of a network design. After successful completion of this assignment, students should be able to:
a. Investigate and resolve appropriate design and solutions for medium sized organisations.
b. Analyse and report on the current and future state of the management of internetworking infrastructure and its applications.
c. Discuss a roadmap process to use internetworking architecture to support long- term business goals.
d. Implement a process to support the administration and management of internetworking.
Assignment Specification
Description
Report should include commands used to configure network devices, an analysis of the current network configurations as per requirements given below, and a demonstration of working of your designed network. You must Discuss step by step process to build the network for the chosen business case study from your assignment 1.
Write a report with the following contents
Design a detailed Network in Netsim (You must not use packet tracer) which includes
- Minimum of 4 switches (include series, model from your suggested first assignment report details)
- Minimum of 3 routers (include series, model from your suggested first assignment report details)
- 4 PCs
Network device configurations
a. Switch configuration:
- set hostname as your name
- set system clock to May 2017 10:00 am
- display the name of the file and version of IOS
- display the name of the interfaces
- display 6 IOS modes
b. Router configuration
- set hostname as your family name
- set system clock to Jun 2017 1:00pm
- display the name of the file and version of IOS
- display the name of the interfaces
- display 6 IOS modes
Network device configurations
a. Switch configuration:
- Set IP addresses on PC and switch
- Create VLAN
- Ping each other
- Set VTP domain with your first name
- Set VTP password with your family name
- Demonstrate VTP packets
b. Router configuration
- set descriptions on interfaces, one with your name, second with your family name, third with your middle name
- display information about directly connected devices to router
- Setup IP addresses for each interfaces
- What is the subnet mask did you use?
- Ping all 3 routers.
Analysis of the current network: Analyse the current network configurations and suggest two application scenarios (other than your chosen case study) where you can implement your current network design. Provide justifications for each of your suggested scenario.
