Assignment Description
Background and Objective
A consulting firm in Australia is expanding. You are hired as a network engineer to design and implement
their IT infrastructure. Assume that the organisation intends to use the latest technology however,
easonable budget and expenditure are highly recommended.
In a face-to face meeting with the top-level Management, you were able to receive only the general
information about the organisation. The general information includes: the two office sites in Sydney and in
Adelaide. Sydney site requires 50 employees while Adelaide site have 75 employees. Both the sites have
Customer Services, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Management departments.
A network design and implementation proposal are required. As a part of proposal, submit a report to address
the following two tasks.
Please note that this is a group assignment, and 5 students are allowed in a group at maximum.
Task 1:
In order to gather (user, application, and network requirements) different techniques i.e., Interviews and
questionnaire are used. Create a questionnaire to get application requirements. The questionnaire must have
at least 4 questions. Describe the purpose of each question and categorise the question whether it is focused
to user, application or device requirements. Record possible answers to use in next task.

Task 2:
 Based on the requirements identified at Task1, design a WAN structure of the business showing all devices
such as routers, switches, links, etc., by using a relevant network designing software. Draw a diagram to
illustrate your high-level design.
 Determine network addresses by using the subnet XXXXXXXXXXP.0/24, where P is your group number. You
also need to use Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) technique whilst creating the subnets and allow
20% for possible future expansion.
 You need to explain the technical aspects for the choosing devices such routers, switches, hubs, cables,
servers etc.
 Configure the topology devices with basic configurations, routing and NAT (Using Packet Tracer).
Additional configuration such as VLAN and Port security etc.
Task 3:
 Video demonstration (10 minutes at Max)
The group is required to prepare a short 7–10-minute video covering the following aspects:
 overall implementation of the network
 routing configuration and
 VLAN configuration

It is mandatory to have your avatar on the screen while describing your design. You may upload the video on
the Moodle Shell or may have the link for the video.
