ASSESSMENT - Case Study
YUSA TECH Business Expansion
Part A- Determine the client's requirements and determine WAN Specification
Confirm client requirements.
You are required to meet with the client and discuss the following:
Confirm the existing networking environment.
Confirm the purpose expected network requirements.
Budget Allocation.
Determine WAN specification.
Now you are required to create a specification for the purposed Wide Area Network Yusa Tech. You should submit your design in the form of a Technical Report. Your report should include the following:
Introduction of the Report
Background of the project
Outline the current network.
Design Considerations and Assumptions (Including physical environment).
Available WAN network topology options.
Description of best-fit WAN topology for the purposed network.
Analysis of WAN needs with WAN Functional Matrix.
Hardware, Software, Service, and other Network elements that are required for setting up a new network along with their cost and suppliers of each element identified. You should identify at least three suppliers for each element identified and suggest the best option as per the business requirement.
Estimated budget for the purposed topology.
Specification for the purpose network. Your specification with the aid of a Network diagram must specify the following:
LAN segment including WLAN for each branch. (Including the WLAN security)
VPN connection between the branches.
Routing protocols.
IP addressing schemes for each branch and segment of the network.
Network security components including firewalls.
redundant links in the proposed WAN connectivity for link backup purposes if the primary link is disrupted.
Required legislation, codes, company work practices, regulations, standards, and work health and safety (WHS) requirements for scoped work.
Available WAN Services and the best suitable service for the chosen organization.
Analysis and assessment of the current traffic status and likely future traffic demands, and analysis of the proposed design will satisfy forecasted traffic demands.
Justification of how the proposed design will meet performance requirements such as data load, traffic flow patterns bandwidth, security, data encryption, and internal and external interference avoidance.
