ISY202 – Information Systems Networking Essentials Assignment Semester 2, 2016 Assessment Weighting: 20% Due Date: Week 10, 10/10/2016 Instructions: This is a group assignment and all students are expected to contribute evenly. A peer review form must be signed by each student indicating the contribution percentage. This report should be written in clear English, and be submitted in electronic format and a hard copy. You are expected to use references in the normal Harvard referencing style. An AIH cover sheet should be attached confirming that the work is solely your own. A hard copy of your assignment must be submitted to your lecturer at the beginning of the lecture in week 10. Late submission of assessment items or deferral of examinations An assessment item submitted after the assessment due date, without an approved extension or without approved mitigating circumstance, will be penalised. The standard penalty is the reduction of the mark allocated to the assessment item by 5% of the total mark applicable for the assessment item, for each day or part day that the item is late. Correct referencing techniques A key skill expected of all students is the ability to correctly reference and cite academic works or other works referred to in student assignments using Harvard style. A failure to correctly or fully cite academic works could result in a lesser mark than may be achieved otherwise and can even result in a charge of academic misconduct. It is essential, therefore, that all students become fully familiar with the recognised methods for referencing words. Details of the key referencing methods can be found at: www.aih.nsw.edu.au MOODLE site.THE SCENARIO You have been assigned the task of establishing a networking plan for a 3 site campus. The campus consists of a Girls' High School, a Boys' High School and a Primary School, as shown in the below diagram. You are required to provide details for the following conditions:  Cabling between the three campus sites and the Point-of-Presence (located on Main Street of the Girl's High School site).  Cabling within each campus site. This cabling needs to satisfy the following requirements:  Each site has computer labs of 20 networked computers as follows – Girls HS 3 labs, Boys' HS 3 labs, Primary school 1 lab.  You need to provide a diagram of both vertical and horizontal cabling, and any other cabling you think appropriate.  You need to provide appropriate Equipment Rooms where necessary. Your network has Internet Access via the Point of Presence which is shown on the diagram.  You need to subnet your network as follows: Girls HS: 1 subnet for each computer lab, one subnet for School Staff, one subnet for School Students, one subnet for Administration. Boys HS: 1 subnet for each computer lab, one subnet for School Staff, one subnet for School Students, one subnet for Administration, Primary School: 1 subnet for the computer lab, one subnet for the remainder of the school. You must use VLSM as required for each subnet.  Current Computer access requirements for School students, staff and Admin staff is:  Girls HS – students up to 700 end host devices, staff 80 hosts, admin 18 hosts.  Boys HS – students up to 600 end host devices, staff 61 hosts, admin 13 hosts.  Primary School – 342 end host devices. REQUIREMENTS You must design the network requirements for this campus. As the network administrator you will be required to develop a plan for your network, including all costs, for all of the following: 1. The type of media you propose to use at each campus site. This must be adequate to allow for the 100% expansion of the Entire Campus Network. Your future recommendations should also include provision for additional increased bandwidth needs in the future (beyond 5 years). Whilst the actual lengths of media chosen are not required, the cost of media chosen should be included as a cost per metre price. Installation requirements and costs must also be considered. You must justify your choice of media. Remember this might include copper, fibre and wireless options within the different sites. The fibre links between each campus to the Point-of-Presence and beyond to the Internet will be supplied by the Campus's ISP and are therefore not to be included in the above media requirements. 2. You are required to subnet your IPv4 network address using VLSM, as appropriate. You will be required to provide a summarised table with IP Addresses for all hosts in your network, and allow enough addresses for the 100% expected future expansion of computer labs. 3. IPv6 Addresses will be added now for future use so that a dual stack arrangement is in place. Use the table below for IPv6 addresses. 4. Allocate one (1) printer for each school lab subnet, one for each staff network, and one for each administration network (Note: No printers will be made available to students apart from those in the computer labs). For the primary school there will be two printers, one for the computer lab and one for the remainder of the school. Printers will have the last usable address for their appropriate subnetworks. 5. A single server network will be used for all schools within the Campus Environment, and will be housed in the main distribution room. There will be three (3) servers in a separate subnet, and they must be allocated static IP Addresses.6. You must provide details of the hardware (switches and routers) requirements. This must include full reasons for selecting particular hardware, and it must be adequate for your school campus requirements. DO NOT INCLUDE the servers and PCs. 7. You must justify the type of physical network topology you propose to use and include physical topology diagrams for each site. 8. You must include a logical topology diagram with your submission. 9. Communication on the Internet is essential. Select and fully justify the type of Internet access you propose to have for this campus. The bandwidth provided must be sufficient for all end users at all sites. IPv4 Addressing The School Campus has purchased the IP Address (allocated by your Instructor) from its ISP for addressing all hosts within its network. Subnet, using VLSM, this IPv4 Address to provide addresses for all required hosts. This addressing scheme should allow for the 100% growth of Computer Labs. Complete the table below (which shows a sample of required subnets, but must be expanded to show them all). Note: The above table is only a sample. You need to modify it to suit your requirements.Additional Information 1. Apart from the IPv4 Addresses, you are not required to supply any Inter school link information. This includes fibre cables, VPN connections, and any security issues relating to those links. 2. All hardware is to be IPv6 compatible as it is anticipated that a dual stack addressing scheme will be implemented. See the table above for the initial IPv6 addresses that will be used. 3. The three school site can be considered a single network, and so the IPv4 Addresses allocated must be reflected in the overall addressing scheme for the school campus environment. 4. The only media requirements are those internal for each school site. 5. Hardware (such as routers and switches) should reflect expected usage over the next five years. Therefore, consider the usage requirements for each subnet to estimate the hardware requirements at each location. 6. Internet Access for the entire school campus, the Point of Presence (POP), is through the Media Distribution Room located on Girl's School site. This connection should be sufficient for all current users, and scalable to allow for the expected increase over the next 5 years. 7. School students LANs for the High Schools are expected to be wireless access only. It is expected that students will bring their own devices to access these LANs, so the ONLY requirement is the provisioning of the access to it. The computer labs must be cabled. Assignment Submission The assignment submission should take the form of a report that thoroughly details the reasons for decisions made, as well as the actual decisions made. You should ascertain actual costs by searching the internet. Base all your costing in Australian dollars. (Note: Take care not to quote prices in US dollars, as many web sites are US based.) The total length of the report is 2000 - 2500 words. You should include a Title Page, Index Page, the full report and all references. All information sources must be appropriately acknowledged and a full bibliography is required.Note: It is expected that this will be completely your own work. Therefore using the 'cut and paste' technique is not accepted. You should read relevant material, and then write your report in your own words. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS This assignment is to be done in group. Much of the work can be based on research carried out on the Internet. All information obtained must be fully referenced using the referencing method, as per the subject outline. The assignment is due on Monday (10/10/16). Late assignments will incur a penalty of 5% per day, as per the subject outline. This case study will assess all objectives from the course outline. There is no minimum mark required for this Assignment. Students who fail to attain 50% for it will need to work harder in other assessment items to make up the deficit. The Case Study must have a title page with the following information: Course Name – Information Systems Networking Essentials Course Number – ISY202 Case Study Title – Assignment 1 Case Study due date – Week 10, 10 October, 2016 Word Count DO NOT include copies of referenced material or other documents (such as pamphlets) with this assignment.
