10 Network topology diagram and implementation • Well-designed topology diagram with simulating software. • Network devices and appropriate command for the configuration should be detailed for implementation purposes. • It would be best to have • Comments for the commands used for configuration. For example, the following commands are for the dynamic routing protocol used for the configuration, the following commands for VLANs, creating trunk links, static routes, etc. • Connectivity testing ping snapshots. 5 Timeline and Budget estimation • Hardware requirements with the specification with costs • Name of the network device with manufacturer’s name, series, model and ports - Type of the cables - Name of the server, PC with specification such as operating system, RAM, hard disk, etc. • Cost specification of the hardware should be included. • Human resources cost need to be included on an hourly basis. • Timeline for the completion of the should be detailed.

Marking Criteria The following tentative marking criteria will be followed for the assignment. Marks Section to be included in the report Description of the section 5 Project Scope and requirements Outline of the report (in 3-4 sentences), and briefly discuss the requirements (not more than 10-12 sentences). 10 Network design and justification • Well-designed network diagram. • Labelled with IP addresses. • A clear description of the approach taken for the design (may use bullet points for this).

Marks for assignment 1 will be calculated as follows: Individual assignment 1 marks = marks obtained for individual submitted report * demonstration marks/25 For example: Student X gets • 28/35 marks for individual submitted report • 15/20 marks for individual demonstration in week 5, 6 and 7 Total marks for student X out of 35 = 28 * 15/20 = 28 * 0.75 = 21/35

Submission Guidelines • All work must be submitted on Moodle by the due date along with a Title Page. • The assignment must be in MS Word format, 1.5 spacing, 11-pt Calibri (Body) font and 2.54 cm margins on all four sides of your page with appropriate section headings. • Reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using IEEE referencing style.
