Title
Assignment 1 – Detailed design of a modern network for a multi building campus
Unit Learning
Outcomes
covered in
This
assessment
The purpose of this assignment is to design and develop NETWORK requirements, which
can be implemented with LAN/WLAN/WAN services for a University Campus (any campus
having multiple buildings). The design of network and service must be specific so that it can
e used for a purpose of a quotation and proposal from vendors and internet service
providers.
After the assignment, students are expected to learn not only the knowledge and cu
ent
technical aspects of advanced networking but also research, data collection, analysis and
writing skills, which are very important and helpful.
The following ULOs:
a. Model and critically compare LAN and WAN network technologies, topologies and
implementation;
. Configure, test and troubleshoot various network devices including routers and
switches
c. Evaluate, different WAN protocols; such as HDLC, PPP, Frame Relay, DHCP, ISDN,
NAT and PAT in a network environment, and configure, verify, troubleshoot related
equipment;

Assignment Description
Tasks:
There are two parts to this assignment, i.e. part A and part B.
A. Research and propose a modern network for a multi (five) building university campus with internet
and wireless access.
Details description is as under XXXXXXXXXXmarks
Description:
There are three (3) areas to consider for advanced network design in this assignment.
1. Propose a detailed design/layout for a campus having multiple buildings;
2. Design LAN (including Wireless LAN) and WAN services for the users
3. Research about LAN, wireless LAN and WAN technologies (Equipment, protocols and services)
4. Report must include:
a. Introduction
. Building diagram (this need to be virtually assumed according to you own thinking)
c. Scopes and Limitations
d. Requirements (Network LAN,WLAN, WAN)
e. Solution Design
