Assignment Description
Project Scope: A typical network layout diagram of a higher education Institute is given as Figure-1 (for
illustrative purposes only). The Institute has sections segregated as Melbourne and Sydney campuses
connected through WAN. Within the campuses, we have laboratories and other office workstations
segregated into School of IT and School of Business.
The Network requirements are given as follows:
1. Two campuses have separate local area networks. Staff users from both campuses should be able to
have access from/to both campuses.
2. There should be a clear restriction that any host from li
ary should not be allowed to ping hosts from
other offices.
3. Printing services should be available to all the schools’ users.
4. Wireless access is available to all the staff, student, and guest across both campuses.
5. Internet should be provided to all the sections (i.e. School of IT and School of business from both
campuses).
6. IP network design is required.
7. Hardware requirements with costs specification (specification of all the hardware required, number
of units and per unit cost).
8. Configuration details on the hardware (Routers, switches and workstations).
Assignment requirements: As a group, you are required to analyse the project requirement and then design
and simulate a network fulfilling the above mentioned requirement. You need to provide a fully functional
simulation model for the network. The report should have a detailed explanation of the planning and designing
of network. It is recommended that bullet points are included whenever necessary.
The sections that you need to consider in you report are as follows:
1. Project Scope
2. Project requirements
3. Network design – Consider the human factor design concepts
• This part should include LAN/WAN/WLAN details and protocols used.
4. IP addressing in a tabular form (include justification whenever necessary)

5. Network topology diagram and simulation (CISCO Packet tracer is mandatory)
• Switch configuration
• Router configuration
• Access point and server configuration guidelines
• Security configuration
Student should show the demo of the network design in Week 11 lab. Work progress and consultation will be
done during week 9 and 10. Demonstration marks will be awarded in regards to the stage of the completion
of the design
The format of the demonstration will be
a) An individual demo,
) At least 3 viva voce questions related to the design, and
c) Demo and viva voce duration 5 – 7 minutes (at max). The following is to be covered.
• Demonstration of the network design simulation in CISCO Packet Tracer.
Note to the lab tutor: As per the need, the lab tutor can allocate 15 minutes in Week 9 and Week 10 for
work progression check and consultation.
