The project should have acover page of some kind. The format does not matter.
You should include adiagram/drawing. It can be embedded into your document. You can do the drawing in Visio, Excel, Google Apps, etc. It does not have to be CAD quality but do not draw it on paper by hand and take a picture.
If you reference an article, journal, textbook be sure to call it out in a footnote. There are no requirements for references but give credit if you need to.
Be sure and address all of the items on the list in the study. Do not assume there is a base level of knowledge. This proposal should be prepared as you would for a client or management team. There is not a budget but you should act within a certain level of reason.
As an example, here are some things to consider for wireless access.
Are you allowing wireless?
- Everywhere? Everyone?
- Will you broadcast the SSID?
- Will you restrict access based on mac filtering?
- Will you use WEP (hint...no)? What will you use?
- Will you do anything to contain the signal to the facility only?
- How will you connect the access points? Cabling?
- Will there be wiring closets? Will they be locked?
- What about wireless monitoring?
These are just some examples. Think through the project and consider items like cabling, topology, physical security, closet placement, wiring specifications, firewalls, remote access, monitoring for attacks, etc
Please do the doc 5-7 pages
