This assessment includes a quiz and a Practical exercise that will assess your ability to understand and apply theoretical materials in a simulated environment. The quiz will be either multiple choice questions or short questions which are relevant to the lectures of lecture materials. For successful completion of the quiz, you are required to study the material provided (lecture slides, tutorials, and reading materials) and engage in the unit’s activities. The prescribed textbook is the main reference along with the recommended reading materials. Practical exercises assess students’ ability to apply theoretical learning to practical, real-‐world situations on a biweekly basis. The practical exercises will improve student’s ability to practice cloud computing using different cloud platforms specified in the weekly workshop activities. Students will be required to complete the practical exercises during the workshop and therefore, attendance is required as part of this assessment. Students will not be assessed on work that not produced in workshop so that attendance is required as part of this assessment. Students are required to submit the work that they have completed during the workshop session only. The details of the lab work and requirements are provided on the online learning system. Assessment 1 Marking Criteria and Rubric There will be 6 quizzes and 6 labs. quizzes and labs will have questions and activities to be completed for a total of 100 marks then will be scaled to 30.

Task Description Imagine that APIC has employed you as a junior network administrator. As part of your duty, you are requested to configure and manage a network lab to perform tests before they are deployed to the actual network. The networking lab imitates a typical enterprise network with headquarters and two branches connected over the Internet. The high-‐level logical topology of the network is given in Figure 1, and the physical layout of the offices is given in Figure 2.

Figure 1 Logical layout.

Figure 2 Physical View To study the network before the actual deployment, you will use a network simulator to complete the following tasks: Part A 60 Marks weighing 20% • Task 1 (12 marks): Network simulation. In this task, you will create the network using Packet Tracer from its logical topology and perform all necessary configurations for the network devices to make it operational. Verify the network connectivity and document the network configurations following the configuration management practice. • Task 2 (Part A 12 marks): Select a suitable network management architecture to manage the network, then implement the architecture using SNMPv2c. make sure to document performance baselining for the network connectivity. • Task 3 (Part A 15 marks): A staff member at the branch network reports that she cannot upload documents to a shared folder of the headquarter network document server. Outline the troubleshooting steps you would use to solve this issue. • Task 4 (Part A 12 marks): APIC at HQ/BranchA/BranchB wants to upgrade its campus network due to the recent change in the student number (increased by 20% overall) and expansion of the university proposed by 2026 (a further increase by up to 60% overall).

New network upgrade requirements: Wireless connectivity using wifi6/ax technology APs every 5 square meters All Office applications to move from desktop to Office 365 50% of all courses to be delivered online using MS Teams from campus in hybrid mode. Your team need to report on all the updates in technologies that will be required to ensure the new network upgrade will be successful. • Task 5 (Part A 9 marks): Propose two upgrade solutions in detail and perform all necessary analyses to select one solution. Explain how the selected solution would be successful. Part B 40 Marks weighing 15% Task 6 (Part B 40 marks ): Present and defend your business case proposal.

Assessment 3: Enterprise Networking Analysis Due date: Week 12 Group/individual: Individual Word count/Time provided: 2500 words Weighting: 35% Unit Learning Outcomes: ULO-‐1, ULO-‐2, ULO-‐3, ULO-‐4 Assessment 3 Detail:

This task for Enterprise Networking analysis involvers as comprehensive review on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). VoIP on packet switching enterprise networks is one of the rapidly emerging real-‐time application over the IEEE 802.11 WiFi networks.

The VoIP is a form of audio and voice communication. It receives voice signal activities which are then encoded in digital form and divided into small parts of information in the form of voice data network packets. These data network packets are decoded and transmitted as voice signals then the sender and receiver have a voice conversation.

Task 1

Please, provide a company’s network model diagram and students are required to provide VoIP Network background, VoIP protocol architecture diagram.

Task 2

Please, provide VoIP over WLAN Enterprise Network IEEE 802.11 Standards and MAC details in table form. The IEEE 802.11 WLAN network is a wireless Ethernet, playing an important function in the future-‐generation networks.
