LO4 Implement and diagnose networked systems
Assignment Brief and Guidance:( Scenario)
After your submission to the operations manager, you have met expectations as to your
theoretical knowledge and have been given the go ahead to proceed with designing and
installing the new network.
First, develop a network design to meet the requirements of the company from the
specification given below. Show your proposed topology in Packet Tracer. Design a long-term
maintenance schedule to support the running of your network.
In order to prove your practical skills, implement the network from Part 2 in Packet Tracer.
First, populate the address table with correct information. Then, configure the network devices
and services, and implement full connectivity between end devices. Recommend potential
enhancements, and how to scale up the network.
Finally, use critical reflection of the whole design and implementation process to evaluate what
you have done and justify the conclusions you draw from that to the operations manager.
Part 1
Specification:
In this project, you will design a network for a middle-size company. Connection to the internet
will be provided by an ISP. The company is occupying 2 floors in a building. Floor1 contains the
administration offices of the company.
Here are the requirements for floor1:
The network in this building should service at least 5 employees.
Each employee should have at least one wired and 2 wireless connections.
This floor is the administration part of the company, and clients will not be accessing it.
However, the company would like to make 10 additional wireless connections available for
visitors that might be present in this floor.
There are two printers in this floor.
