Assignment Title: Primary School Network Design with Guest Network Assignment Description:
Project Scope A small business network has to be designed for a primary school. The school has occasional guest users (Max 10) visiting it. There are a total of 50 users in the School. A FTP server is also available for sharing files. Network requirement:
1. Separate subnet for guest and LAN network.
2. The guest network should be restricted to access only FTP service on the FTP server and all other
access to the LAN network should be blocked.
3. IP Network Design
4. Identify the hardware – Switches and Routers.
5. Configuration details on hardware
Report Contents:
In your report you need to explain in details the process of planning and designing the network, make sure that you elaborate in paragraph style all stages and please avoid to list only bullets points without full explanations.
1. Project Scope
2. Project requirements
3. Network design – Consider Human factor (User-Centric Design) concepts
4. IP addresses table including netmask (with justification)
5. Network Topology Diagram (using Netsim software only)
Switch configuration
Router configuration
DHCP configuration
Access point, server configuration guidelines.
Security configuration
Note that Students should demonstrate their network design using the Netsim in Week 11 Lab.
