INTERNAL MODERATION
7COM1029 – Network Systems Administration
Coursework: Advanced Networking Concepts
This is the first coursework given in this module. You are to answer the following assignment and submit for assessment. This coursework is worth 30% of the overall mark for the module. Some parts of the coursework will require research beyond the material discussed in the course. This is intended and is part of the assessment.
In this coursework, you will study and investigate some of the network system services provided by Debian Linux or Ubuntu using relevant protocol(s) and mechanisms. This will include designing a suitable network using part of the facilities in the E250 & E251 labs. You are expected to set up and configure your network to deliver network services as follows:
a. Installing and configuring a DHCP server
b. Installing and configuring a DNS server
c. Setting up a real host and virtual hosts
d. Client/server configuration and interactions
e. Implementing Quality of Service (QoS)
f. Securing SSH
g. Configuring the iptables firewall
h. Testing and evaluation the designed network and implemented services.
Your proposed network could be designed using part of the existing network infrastructure in lab E250 and E251 as seen below:
You are expected to connect an additional network node (i.e. your laptop to the Netgear
( ASSIGNMENT BRIEFING SHEET (2019/20 Academic Year) – ANONYMOUS MARKING )
switch), which will serve as the real host for your network design. The top/bottom shuttles maybe used to connect the required DHCP and the DNS servers in your proposed network design.
Your report should attempt to provide a clear design of the implemented network, and unambiguous statement of the Linux network services implemented. This should include a summarised review of the network services, protocol(s), mechanism(s), and tools in the implemented network.
In your report, the network service(s) through your implemented network architecture should be evaluated in terms of its operations, techniques, settings, security provisions etc. This is to allow you to propose the necessary mechanisms and solutions to meet the service needs. These efforts will highlight the good practices and findings about the service and consider various technical reports and relevant documents. You will need to study and specify the requirement details and evaluation of tools in terms of meeting the necessary services requirements.
The final outcomes and practical results are intended to provide any necessary justifications to ensure a reliable and secure delivery of the network services.
You will need to produce a professional technical report. Typically, your report might be organized (but not necessarily to be) as follows:
1. abstract
2. introduction
3. background information, literature review, scope, and limitations
4. main body including the diagram of the proposed and implemented network
5. experimental work and analysis
6. testing and evaluation
7. conclusion
8. references (books, conference papers, journal publications, WWW references).
You should clearly state any assumption(s) that you have made with justification in your report and discuss any alternatives to your proposed solutions. Also, you should use the Harvard style of referencing.
The write up for this question should
· Be your own work - plagiarism will not be tolerated
· Use relevant sources, properly referenced throughout
· Include a bibliography of references
Note:
The assignment will be marked according to the attached mark scheme and as such you should address each of the mark criteria within your assignment.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated
