Network Technologies Assignment - Network Comprehension

Background

Widgets and Gadgets (WaG) have recently acquired a business, We Make Stuff (WMS), in another city. Before work can commence on integrating WMS's network into WaG's, WMS need to have a network. WMS consists of four close buildings, each with multiple floors. Each floor is dedicated to a business function as defined in the network design topology document. (separate document in Viso and PNG formats).

Task Details

You have been given the final design approved by the tender process and hired to implement that design. In this submission you should take the design given and implement it in Packet Tracer.

The design includes several VLANs, a Routing Layer 3 switch and a router connected to a DMZ and external networks (The Internet). There is a Wireless VLAN that all wireless access points connect to.

NOTE on using your best judgement:
There ARE ERRORS in this physical topology! Correcting these errors in some fashion demonstrates that you

• understand the concepts in enough detail to see the error and
• know what options exist in correcting these errors.

NOTE on needing to do research:

You WILL need to do some additional research to complete this assignment! Part of University assessments is about encouraging you to research topics. In other units you may be given a topic to research and then write a report or academic paper on the subject. In this unit you are still required to do some research (into Layer 3 switches) but you will instead be required to APPLY the result of that research directly.

Remember, this is an implementation. Transferring logical concepts into practical application needs to be displayed, physical implementation of logical processes such as subnetting are important.

• You have been given the Network range of 172.16.100.0/22 to work with, do not go outside this range.
• DHCP should be configured on the Layer 3 switch, not on a stand-alone server or router.
• The models of device images used in the Visio diagram may not be available in Packet Tracer. Use an appropriate device that provides the interfaces/capabilities required.
• The WiFi network should be large enough for a quantity of transient devices not pictured in the diagram.
• Be sure to organise your physical space as you add devices.
• Build progressively, saving intermediate attempts as backups (numbering each is a good idea).
