Objectives
• 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.

Project Tasks
Select an existing medium size organization located in the UAE (100 to 500 employees). Assume that the organization needs to connect computers and network devices in three buildings. You are hired by the organization to design and implement an enterprise network for the organization. The enterprise network should serve all the organization employees who are located in the three buildings. The Organization network should be connected to the Internet to enable sending and receiving packets from outside the organization. You will be required to gather information that would help you to better plan the network. You are also required to design a network for the organization. Following are the tasks you need to complete:
Report
Task 1: Background of the Client
The organization information that include:
a. the name of the organization,
b. the location of the organization,
c. What does the organization do? Line of business (education, manufacturing, etc.)
d. the name of organization departments
e. the number of employees in each department
Task 2: Networking Requirements
What networking devices are required? Routers, switches, access points. How many of each?
Information and specifications of each Information should include:
a. the name of the networking hardware,
b. Purpose of hardware
c. the unit price,
d. the quantity, and
e. the total price (note: do not include network cables)
f. Website URL link
Task 3: IP addressing Scheme
a. You need to make decisions about a suitable IP addresses class to provide enough IP addresses for the hosts. (The IP class and the range of the IP addresses should be based on the company size).
b. Where are you going to use static and where are you going to use dynamic IP addressing
c. DHCP Server configurations
Task 4: Security Considerations
a. Research the security threats and recommend security measures and policies to minimize the security threats.
b. You also need to plan and configure wireless security measures, you need to plan the following wireless security settings:
• SSID (organization name)
• Security mode (to the most secured option)
• Any other security measures.
Task 5: Physical and Logical Network Design
a. Choose proper network topologies (i.e. Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, wireless). Plan the physical layout of all equipment.
b. Design secure wired and wireless networks that provides coverage to all needed end user devices and mobile users across the organization.
c. Use the packet tracer to implement the solution based on the network design. Provide print screen showing all evidence.
Task 6: Oral Defense / Interview
Individual knowledge will be assessed through Oral Defense/ Interview. Your teacher will ask questions during the Oral Defense/ Interview to assess the knowledge of students and discuss the technical solution proposed.
