Assignment Description
Objectives:
An XYZ business is expanding in Australia and, the company hired you as a network engineer to design and
implement their company network. The company aspires to use the latest technology with a reasonable
budget and scope for future expansion.
Your face-to-face meeting with a manager did not yield much from the non-technical manager except for the
following general information about the company. There are two sites one in Sydney and other in Melbourne.
Sydney site requires 50 employees while Melbourne site has 70 Employees. Both the sites have a Front desk,
IT, Sales and Marketing and Manager departments. The Melbourne site has two extra Departments, i.e.,
Human Resource and Accounting.
Students need to have a network design and implementation proposal. You are required to have the following
format on the report that covers the following tasks.
| |
Project Scope (in brief 3-4 sentences) Requirements Collection The technique used for collecting requirements in Task 1 Network Design & Sub-netting Devices description and budget |
| |
Devices configurations Extra configuration IEEE Reference style |
Task 1:
Since nothing technical information yielded from the meeting with the manager, you are supposed to gather
the required information regarding the user, application, and network requirements from the employee of
the company. You may use different techniques, i.e., Interviews and questionnaire to do so.
Create a questionnaire to get application requirements. The questionnaire must have at least three questions.
Describe the purpose of each question and categorise the question whether it is focused on user, application
or device requirements.
Task 2:
Use the requirements identified at Task1 to design a WAN structure between Sydney and Melbourne by
using a relevant network designing software. Draw a diagram to illustrate your high-level design.
Design LAN IP addresses for the Sydney branch by using the subnet 192.168.G.0/24, where G is your
group number. You also need to use Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) technique whilst creating
the subnets and allow 10% for possible future expansion. Design another LAN IP address for the
Melbourne branch by using the subnet 172.16.P.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 10% for
possible future expansion.
Configure the topology devices with basic configurations, routing using Packet Tracer.

As an extra configuration, an additional configuration such as segmentation, VLAN and Port security is
also required.
Task 3: Video demonstration
In the video demonstration, students are required to make a video explaining the network topology and
configuration of the network design. The video should have
| |
your overall approach of the network design, description of the configuration of at least one routing protocol used in the design and length of the video 6 – 8 minutes at max. |
Please note that the video presentation in a group should have a clear classification of the parts of the
presenting members, and presenter face/ avatar should be shown in the video. You may use ZOOM software
for making the video.
Task 4: Work progression check and design demonstration
| | The work progression check and design demonstration should be done in week 9 and week 10, respectively. During the demo, the lab tutor can ask at max 4 viva voce questions related to the design. |
