Assessment 2 - Performance Assessment (Skills)

Requirements - Read the case study carefully then answer the questions following. You may assume any information that has not been mentioned in the case study, however any assumptions you make must be clearly identified as assumptions.

Case Study/ Practical implementation: Enterprise Wireless Local Area Network

A well-known International college, Abbey college Australia, wants to deploy the latest technological advancements to their campus using an Information and communication technology plan. They have different departments like the staff department, their head being Kate, the academic department, its head being Joe, and the Student service department, headed by Smith.

They all have specific requirements of the network designer who aims to incorporate all of them and provide other relevant features, if possible.

They want to develop their own area network for students and staff so that it is fast, reliable and easily available throughout the campus building. (Level-1 100 m², Level-2 400 m² and Level-6 400 m².

Abbey college wants to develop its own Wi-Fi network for all staff members and students so that they can bring their own device to use internet and access their learning management system.

They want to implement multiple wireless LAN according to educational departments (Level1, Level2, Level 6-Telecom, Business), Stuffs (Marketing at Level 6, Student service level 2), Guests at all level.

Abbey college also wants to implement secure network to limit the usage of internet and wants to restrict access according to users (Guests, Stuffs and students) in order to ensure everyone, use the internet facility correctly.

Kate, Joe and Smith will assist in gathering the information required by the ICT designer. They will also go through the plan to check if all the requirements have been met or not.

2.1 Assess wireless network performance requirements for the Abbey college?

2.2 Measure and diagnose wireless working environment and determine number of Access points, Routers and other network devices to full all requirements.

2.3 Produce wireless network designs and component lists? Provide real Market quotation for components to analysis cost and specification features.

2.4 Deploy the wireless network for Abbey college in Cisco Packet tracer to meet all requirements mentioned? (Show related device configuration)

Build Network topology and show diagram.

Show IP address allocation for all departments (Static and DHCP).

Configure routes (Routing to connect internet and intranet, DHCP pool for departments) and wireless Access points, DNS and LMS.

Annotate the diagram (including IP Addressing).

List all SSIDs, security level and password according to your configuration.

Show all configuration to your trainer. (the packet tracer simulation).

2.5 Document a formal technical report which starts by addressing the requirements of Abbey college and then explains your proposed solution to meet those requirements. This report will be presented to the client for review and approval.

2.6 Test all your configuration and show it to your Assessor for acceptance (Additionally, attach your test screen shot here)

Assessment 3 - Presentation

Introduction - Presentation is the process of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience. It is often used to assess student learning in individual or group research projects.

Presentation assessment consists of a topic for the student to research, discuss and present, followed by a question and answer session between a tutor and the presenter(s). This measures the ability of students to respond, think under pressure and manage discussion. It is in this part of the presentation that the student shows his/her in-depth knowledge of the topic and presentation skills.

A good presentation is generally expected to consist of:

Introduction/ Aims/Objectives

Major points and ideas explained and summarised

Results/Related points/Issues/or others depending on the topic

Conclusion - future work

The presentation should be presented in the time allowed

Presentation Requirements - Develop a class presentation of no more than 15 minutes to demonstrate your understanding of Design an enterprise wireless local area network. To do this:

a) Select enterprise wireless network from your studies or from your research.

b) Produce wireless network design, component list and network specifications.

c) Explain design details in your presentation.
