Reference no: EM131963680

Overview:

Your proposal will be submitted in three major parts:

Network Design (i.e., Part 1)

Network Addressing and Security (i.e., Part 2)

Network Customization and Optimization (i.e., Part 3)

Each of these parts will be submitted to the LEO Assignments folders and TurnItIn. Each of these parts should be submitted independently of the other parts. That is, only submit Part 1 to the LEO - Assignments - Network Design Proposal Part 1 submission folder. Only submit

Part 2 to the LEO - Assignments - Network Design Proposal Part 2 submission folder. And, only submit Part 3 to the LEO - Assignments -

Network Design Proposal Part 3 submission folder.

To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, take a moment to review the rubrics. The final deliverable should adhere to the following criteria:

Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Design Proposal (Parts 1-3).

Include at least five scholarly references in each of the three submissions. Thus a total of fifteen scholarly references will be included.

Students may find scholarly sources by visiting UMUC's library and online sources. Students will also include other credible sources as appropriate.

Use IEEE-style citations. We do not use APA or MLA-style citations. Students should contact UMUC's Effective Writing Center for assistance.

Use proper terminology and expand acronyms in each paragraph they are used. For example, the first time in a paragraph an acronym is used it should be expanded (e.g., University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Thereafter, and as long as you are in the same paragraph, the acronym (e.g., UMUC) can be used. When starting a new paragraph, the rule begins anew.

The use of figures and diagrams is encouraged. Students will properly cite the figures and diagrams according to the IEEE-style citation
Before submitting each part to the appropriate folder in LEO - Assignments, students will upload to TurnItIn. Students should review the LEO - Announcements for specific instructions or contact the Professor.

Part 2

In this section, address each of the following.

IP Addressing:

Watch How to Subnet a Network Video provided in Content -> Project Instructions

Review the Network Address Template provided in Content -> Project Instructions -> Project Templates for Parts 1 - 3

Complete the subnet chart provided at the end of the document.

Security

Select each of the firewall types to implement, describe network or host-based placement, and configuration details; and justify each of the decisions.

Students should be specific when discussing the models, types, and costs.

Select an IDS, IPS, or both for the network and justify your decision.

Students should be specific when discussing the models, types, and costs.

Define a DMZ implementation and justify the decision.

Select physical security measures for each of the new academic buildings and justify the decision.

Students should be specific when discussing the models, types, and costs.

Select additional network security measures to be implemented and justify the decision. They should include:

How you will protect against social engineering attacks, and justify your decision.

How you will protect against faculty or students willingly, or unwillingly introducing malware onto the network, and justify your decision.

What secure protocols you will require for faculty and students to use while accessing resources internal, or external to the network, and justify your decision.

Make explicit that UMUC will not be liable for any problems arising from personal use of devices in the two buildings.
Building (My floor plan is in the proposal part I.

UMUC has not decided how they will use all of the physical space within the newly leased building. However, they have decided to use some of the space. The overall plan is to use the building as provided in the below diagram. However, initially, the building will house five classrooms, one student computer lab, library, and an office.

In the below building diagrams, we will use Office 5 (Admissions) on the first floor. The classrooms are labeled Classroom #1, Classroom #2, and Classroom #4 on the first floor and Classroom #1 and Classroom #5 on the second floor; each computer lab will have a closet. Each lab will have 25 devices: 23 student computers, one instructor computer, and one server in the closet for instructional use.

Students should consider high traffic areas for Wi-Fi, such as the sitting areas and not the classrooms. The Wi-Fi network should be segregated from the wired network, and implemented on a separate Class C network. What will the network address, range, and broadcast address for this separate Class C wireless address be?

In addition, there will be a student computer lab that will provide computer access to students to do their homework. There will be 24 computers in this lab and a server in the closet. To allow students access to library resources, the library will also have 10 computers for the general public to use and five computers for library staff.

Finally, there are offices in the building. Each of these offices will have one computer for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor.
