COMP 30022 Advanced Networking Technologies - Middle East College
Learning Outcome 1: Discuss and evaluate issues relating to Scaling of IP addresses and WAN Technology.
Learning Outcome 2: Analyze the concepts and implementations of WAN Technologies.
Learning Outcome 3: Discuss and evaluate network management issues.
Assignment Objective
Case Study will allow the students to understand real world problems. The assignment will enable students to grasp holistic knowledge and skills with respect to Wide Area Networking concepts and protocols. Students will be able to perform basic and advanced configuration on routers and configure various routing protocols and IP addressing. The students will also grasp the concepts of NAT/PAT and will be able to configure NAT/PAT. This provides students the flexibility and confidence to deal with various real life scenarios.
Assignment Tasks
Task 1:
Write a detailed work proposal for the above tasks with particulars related to the source of information, overall understanding of tasks, comprehensive schedule and timeline. The work proposal should be submitted within one week from the issue date of the assignment which is 5th of November 2020.
Task 2:
The information access on wide area networks has exponentially grown and 90% of the data being accessed from a corporate network nowadays is being accessed from global network internet. The exponential growth of web and cloud based services has also increased the significance of wide area networks. The demand for WAN administrators is expected to increase manifold in future coming years and skills that reflect the knowledge of Wide Area Networks and related technologies are probably going to rule the IT job market. It is therefore fundamental for looming professionals to acquire pragmatic skills related to WAN technologies. In context with the above briefing perform following tasks by using an appropriate simulation tool and write down a detailed report on the following.
Question:
Write a meticulous report on configuration of Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT). The report should include the definition, advantages, commands and scenarios in which NAT & PAT are used. The step wise configuration of NAT and PAT should be included in the report. Any routing device may be considered however for the sake of ease students may consider following routers Cisco 2620, 2621, 2811, 2901 and 2911. Any other routing device which has similar feature can also be considered for the scenario. The report should provide complete details about the NAT and PAT and all related concepts should also be explained in detail.
Task 3:
a. As a WAN administrator you are expected to research in individual capacity about WAN Datalink layer and characterize Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) with appropriate points utilizing citations from relevant academic literature. The report is expected to be meticulous in nature covering MPLS implementations with Circuit Switched as well as Packet Switched Networks.
b. Review a Journal article or conference publication of an international journal or a reputed conference like IEEE, Springer, Elsevier or any Scopus or SCI indexed publication which is related to WAN Technologies. The students are advised to paste the first page of publication as an image in their assignment task clearly showing the abstract and publication information and then write the review with critical reflections, observations and commentary.
