Assessment - Network design with configuration
Purpose: 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. Describe LAN and WAN network technologies, topologies and implementations;
b. Configure, test and troubleshoot various network devices such as routers and switches;
c. Configure and test different WAN protocols, such as HDLC, PPP, DHCP, NAT and PAT in a network environment;
d. Devise LAN and WAN design and test network implementations;
e. Identify and compare IPv4 and IPv6 in WAN networks;
f. Discuss the requirements of hierarchical network models for campus and other similar applications;
g. Utilize a systematic approach to solve various network problems
Case study: Same as assignment 1.
St. Kilda Clinic is a Healthcare provider with 800-bed hospital in Melbourne and seven outpatient centers throughout Sydney. There are 11,300 total employees, 600 employed physicians. The management of the clinic is facing challenges to reliably deliver voice service, electronic medical records, and imaging applications. It needs to improve uptime for healthcare providers who need mission-critical network access and build strong unified foundation for burgeoning wired and wireless traffic and next-generation diagnostic tools.
The IT department is suggesting few devices such as Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches on each hospital floor. Built-in Cisco StackPower and Cisco StackWise-480 technologies provide power redundancy and operation resiliency for each stack. Granular Catalyst 3850 QoS capabilities identify and prioritize traffic by application and user to ensure highest performance for critical applications. St. Kilda clinic is expecting better application performance with the potential to improve diagnostic abilities, improved network uptime aids a busy hospital staff working 24 hours a day and advanced intelligent switching capabilities serve current and future needs.
Description
- Student should include commands used to configure network devices and analysis the current network configurations as per requirements given below. Student will demonstrate their designed network during Week 11 laboratory class. You must discuss step by step process to build the network for the case study from your assignment 1.
Task 1: Teamwork Report and Introduction
- Provide the network topology diagram for the project. You need to explain how the intranet is divided, such as how branches and departments are interconnected with reasoning.
- Justify how you would manage to split staff and studentnetworks.
- Support your answer by the demonstration of building the topology diagram using Cisco Packet Tracer.
Task 2: Design and Configuration
- Design a networking-addressing scheme all networks. Use a table and state clearly all subnetwork addresses used for the project, the address range of hosts of each subnet, the
direct broadcast address for each subnet.
Design and configuration with the following contents-
• Design a detailed Network in packet tracer whichincludes:
- Minimum of 4 switches
- Minimum of 3 routers
- 4 PCs
a. Switch configuration:
- set hostname as Student 1 name
- set system clock to May 2022 10:00 am
- display the name of the interfaces
- Set IP addresses on PC andswitch
- 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 hostname as Student 2 name
- set system clock to May 2022 1:00 pm
- display the name of the interfaces
- set descriptions on interfaces, one with your student ID, second and third with other group members student ID
- display information about directly connected devices to router
- Setup IP addresses for eachinterface
- What is the subnet mask did you use?
- Ping all 3 routers.
Task 3: Hardware and Software Requirements
- Identify the requirement for the hardware, such as routers, switches, transmission media, PCs, etc. You need to provide name, cost and manufacturer of each device media used in the network.
- Justify software applications installed on each part and entire intranet; thus, it can accommodate all the requirement of the project.
Task 4: Analysis of the current network:
- Analyse the current network configurations and suggest two application scenarios (other than your case study) where you can implement your current network design. Provide justifications for each of your suggested scenario.
Task 5: Conclusion
- Sum up your report, which provide short concluding comments that remind the reader about the main purposes and the most important aspects of your project.
Task 6: References
- Follow IEEE format
