Scenario
Employed by Pacific IT Solutions as a solutions integrator. My job description is to implement IT solutions and provide customer support.
One of the long-time customers, Western Mining, has their head office in Sydney and is opening a branch office in Brisbane. I have been contracted to setup the network.
The new branch office will have only a small number of staff to begin with but as new projects come on line the number of staff could greatly increase.
The facility will be provisioned for the number of staff they have now but the network design should allow for up to 510 staff per department.
4 Departments: Sales, Operations, Management, and Exploration.
The management department’s server must not be accessible from the other 3 departments but the management department’s staff must have full access to the other 3 department’s networks. All hosts, including all servers, require internet access.
The NBN will be rolled out in the area soon. We can look at other options when that happens.
The head office uses the 172.20.0.0 network for its private addresses. Head office requires me to use the 172.16.0.0 network for private addresses.
I need to check it to make sure the data cabling they are planning to install is suitable for requirements.
I should use one Cisco 2811 router and 2960 switches in the initial design. Head office requires a remote login to the switches and router. IP address should be assigned dynamically. We need 48 PC’s and 1 server per department.I need to supply the cables and connectors as required. I will be configuring both ends of the WAN link. We will run OSPF across the link.
Tasks
Task 1 Write a detailed description of the client’s requirements
Task 2 Write a detailed description of the network I will provide including security and WAN functionality
Task 3 Create a fully costed bill of materials for submission to Western Mining. Create a second copy for my own use and include the vendor for each item
Task 4 Document the IP addressing scheme and device naming scheme. Why it is important to document this kind of network information?
Task 5 Create a work breakdown for the network installation and implementation.Include contingency plans in case the required network equipment is not available. Explain what other equipment could I use to do the job?
Task 6 List the potential safety hazards and recommended precautions associated for the Cisco 2811 router and 2690 switch
Task 7 Evaluate the power and data quote provided and draft response to the branch office manager
Task 8 Draft an email for the network design submission to the appropriate person. List the attachments
Task 9 Draft an email to the branch office manager to coordinate the network installation
Task 10 Build and configure the network using Packet Tracer. I need only demonstrate one server and two PC’s per department
Task 11 Test the network to ensure required functionality. Create a table with a list of the network functionality requirements and the validation checks and diagnostic tests I performed, and test results
Task 12 Draft an email to the branch office manager requesting sign off for the completed network installation
Task 13 Create a second version of the network with the NBN WAN connection. I only need to show the branch network connection to the ISP with NAT enabled.
