A student must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be
deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each
competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks.
Project Instructions
The CCNA Project must be completed and submitted as part of this course is one of the assessment
methods used to assess competency for this course. The project is a self-directed project which you
must complete on your own, but you are allowed to ask an Instructor for advice. This project should
only be completed after you have studied the study guide.
You must complete this assessment on your own and research any extra information you feel is
needed to complete the project. You can ask an instructor to clarify the instructions and for advice
but they cannot assist you in completing the tasks required – you must carry out the tasks yourself!
Skills that are important for any IT professional in the workplace include problem solving and
decision making, curiosity and the ability to find, select, structure, and evaluate information, and
creative and critical evaluation.
This project is designed to assess you meet the competencies of the units of competency for
ICTNWK507, ICTNWK508, and ICTTEN6206A, and help you learn these soft skills which are vital to
your success in the workplace.
The project is split into two parts as follows:
Part A: Cisco IOS Skills Auditing.
Part B: Scenario based mini case studies for ICT network design and building testing
prototypes on Cisco Packet Tracer.
Each part maps directly to elements of the units of competency ICTNWK507, ICTNWK508 and
ICTTEN6206A. If competency is not achieved, the project will be returned to you for further work
on the task(s) identified as being unsatisfactory. You must undertake further work and resubmit the
task(s) for re-assessment or re-marking.
A Pass (PX) or Fail (N) result for this unit will be awarded for these competency assessment tasks.
When you have completed the project, submit the required documentation via the CCN Project
Upload link on the LMS system. The required list of files required for submission is listed at the end
of the project tasks. If there are parts of the project that you have not completed, the assessor will
not sign the project off – you will be asked to resubmit the document when it is completeCCNA Project

6. Open your P1Q5_xxx.pkt file (from Question 5) and then save this the file as P1Q6_xxxx.pkt
(where xxx is your student ID). Make sure that you don't overwrite your P1Q5_xxx.pkt as you
are required to submit this.
Working on top of your configuration for question 5, you must block anyone passing Router
D to access the WWW service on Server D. You also must block anyone passing Router E to
access the FTP service on Server E.
However, other services, such as the FTP service on Sever D and the WWW service on Server
E must still be open for anyone to access. You need to test all your security configurations to
ensure it works.
7. There are three departments located in one building. These departments are the Admin
Group, the Technical Group, and the Accounting Group. These groups are shown below.

III. At level 3 – PC3, PC6, and PC9 are connected to port 1 , 2 and 3 on Switch 3
IV. All switches connect to each other by using their up and down link port
IMPORTANT: Access Control Lists activate immediately after you apply them to
the router interface. As a result of this you must ensure you take a backup of the
current configuration before you make any changes so you can revert back to
the original configuration in case there are any problems. This will ensure that
any disruption to users will be kept to a minimum.CCNA Project

XII. When you issue the IP addresses to the PCs manually (static address), you must
reserve the lowest usable address for your gateway (the router interface)
8. You are required to design and configure three VLANs for each group based on the given
information on Cisco Packet Tracer. All PCs in each VLAN can ping any PC in other VLANs.
Turn on inter-VLAN routing so that you can route between the 3 VLANs.
9. You need to complete the VLAN Design Forms first. The form template "Template for Part A
Question 7" document can be downloaded from the Project Section on the LMS.
10. You should copy and paste these tables into your CCNA_P1_xxx.docx (where xx is your
student id) document and fill them out.
Once you have completed the VLAN Design Forms, configure and test your VLAN, and then
complete an Evaluation Report Form on predicted LAN performance by running LAN connective
Assessment for Admin, Technical, and Accounting Groups.
You must save all your forms into the P1_xxxx.docx document, and save your VLAN configuration
file as P1Q7_xxxx.pkt (where xxx is your student ID) on the Cisco Packet Tracer.
Note: Make sure that you only select LAN Switches from the device list on the
Cisco Packet Tracer that support VLAN technology as some switches do not
support VLANs.CCNA Project

Currently, the managing director of the RTO has hired you again to help them redesign their
network infrastructure in order to meet their growth needs. He also requests that the new network
infrastructure must:
Connect two buildings together to share resources and services e. g. Web.
Set up IP Phone service for staff. Each staff will have an IP Phone. The RTO has 45 staff
currently. 30 staff located at the ground floor in the first building as shown in Scenario 1.
Another 15 academic staff (5 staff per floor) are in the new building.
Enforce data security due to a case of one student hacking into the RTO's file server last year.
The RTO wishes to separate different network resources and services by apply advanced
control on the switch and router level.
Set up secure wireless facilities that allow students and staff to access resources by using
their laptop, tablets, or smart phones.
Set up the router that only allows incoming Web Access traffic to access the web server on
port 80.
