COIT20264 Network Design (Term 1, 2017) Assessment Item 1 - Presentation and Written Assessment Due date: Part A: Internal students - During class time (Weeks 7 and 8); Distance students - Discuss with Unit Coordinator Part B: 11:30pm AEST, Friday, Week 8 ASSESSMENT Weighting: Part A: 10%; Part B: 30% 1 Length: Part A: Maximum of 10 minutes for presenting and 5 minutes for answering the questions and the discussion. Part B: No word count limit. General You should progressively develop your logical network design based on the scenario given on page 5 of this document. In this process, you are expected to participate in the weekly discussions and find the answers to the recommended discussion questions. The weekly discussion questions have been selected and formulated not only to gradually increase your knowledge and skills in this unit but also to help you develop the logical and physical network designs. If you do not attempt weekly discussion questions you would very likely produce a logical network design that would not satisfy the requirements and/or that cannot be justified. Part A Objectives In this part of Assessment Item 1, you will create and deliver an oral presentation on your logical network design. The scenario to be used for the logical network design is given on page 5. Please refer to the Unit Profile to understand how this part of the assessment item relates to the Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs). Requirements All students You are to demonstrate your technical as well as presentation skills by presenting your logical network design, and receive feedback from your peers and/or the tutor. The presentation should include the outcomes of your weekly discussions to Q2 of Week 4, Q2 of Week 5 and Q2 of Week 6. Each of you need to upload a copy of the presentation slides of your group to Moodle before delivering the presentation. Week 4 2. Discuss the following questions relating to the assignment in your group: a) List the business goals of the scenario given in the assignment. b) Identify some constraints that will affect these goals. c) List the technical goals of the scenario given in the assignment. d) Identify some tradeoffs that will have to be made to achieve these technical goals Week 5 2. Discuss the following questions relating to the assignment in your group: a) List the user communities. b) List the data stores and the user communities for each data store? c) Characterise the network traffic in terms of flow, load, behaviour, and QoS requirements. d) Design a logical network topology. Week 6 2. Discuss in your groups the following questions relating to the assignment scenario: a) Specify which public or private IP address blocks will be assigned to different modules of your network. b) Design a plan for integrating the different routing protocols into the network design. c) What are the most important assets of your design that must be protected with security mechanisms? d) What are the largest security risks that your network would face? e) Should Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) be enabled on the Cisco routers and switches? On-Campus students On-campus students should deliver their presentations during the class time in weeks 7 and 8. Students will be required to work in groups of up to 4 or individually. The maximum duration for each presentation group will be 15 minutes, including 5 minutes for answering the questions and the discussion. This time frame will be strictly enforced due to time constraints. Please note that the presentations must be completed on the scheduled day. If a student or a group does not present on the scheduled day, they will receive 0 marks for Part A unless they have a valid reason supported by evidence such as a medical certificate. Distance students Distance students should contact the unit coordinator by the end of week 3 and agree for a suitable presentation method and time. The presentations could also be recorded by the student (or the group) and uploaded to YouTube with a link provided in the presentation slides. Answering of questions and the discussion could then be undertaken via telephone at a mutually agreed time. Students will have to complete their presentations in weeks 7 and 8 of the term. Submission Each student needs to upload a copy of the presentation slides of their group to Moodle before delivering the presentation. Assessment criteria The marking criteria for Part A of the Assessment Item 1are provided on page 3. You need to familiarise themselves with the marking criteria to ensure that you have addressed them when preparing and presenting this assessment item. Note: Marks of presentations will not be released to the students until they have been moderated by the Unit Coordinator.   Assessment Item 1 – Part A - Marking Criteria Group members: Date: Criteria HD D C P F Your Mark 1. Presentation structure: a. Introduction (1 Mark) Introduce yourself (or your group) and the road map. Aim to engage your audience from the beginning of the presentation. b. Body (3 Marks) Marks will be given for the quality of the content that you deliver. The content must explain your logical design supported by the outcomes of the specified weekly discussion questions. c. Conclusion (1 Mark) Summarise the key points that you presented in the body. 2. Delivery (2 Marks) Do not read the full text, practice and keep to the time limit. Use the time carefully without rushing at the end. 3. Questions (2 Marks) Coping with questions at the end of the presentation (the telephone interview for the distance students). (2 Marks) 4. Presentation slides (1 Mark) Ensure that the slide contents are clearly visible to entire audience and your slides are well–prepared and useful. Use your slides effectively (i.e. integrated into the presentation). Total for Part A Comments: Lecturer/tutor’s name:   The Scenario for Network Design Assessment Tasks Your company in Australia specialises in designing networks for local and international clients. It has won a contract to design a comprehensive network for Auto-fishing Group (AG), a newly established cooperative society of fishermen in Northern Territory. AG will operate from a small office in Darwin. This cooperative society was established to increase the fish yield of its member fishermen and supply the fish to the consumers as quickly as possible at a reasonable price. Using sophisticated technology including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the fishermen will locate the schools of fish suitable for consumption without catching them indiscriminately and thereby reducing over fishing. AG plans to directly supply the fish from the fishermen to the customers without an intermediary. To this end, AG will have its own vehicles, ten distribution centres along the coast of the state and three distribution vehicles at each distribution centre. Each fisherman will be affiliated to a distribution centre. When a customer places an order using the app of AG or over the phone, the order will be processed using a proprietary software application of AG. By using this software, the distribution centres will not only be able to receive the optimum quantity of fish from the fishermen on time but also be able to deliver the order to the customers quickly. This whole process will be automated with the help of on-board computers on the distribution vehicles connected to the office of AG and the mobile devices of the fishermen. Using the software application, the fishermen will find out the quantity of each category of fish they can supply on the run and catch them to meet the demand. The fishermen will also get connected to the Internet and post questions to online forums. AG will also have an online banking society that provides most of the main banking facilities of other banks to its member fishermen. AG needs the guarantee that their proprietary application, and various data and information in their information system are secured. AG also plans to build a marine and fisheries training centre in Darwin. The centre will have a managing director, a secretary and two instructors. There will be 20 students at any time in the training centre, participating in the classes. Facilities will be provided for instructors to show the live videos of fish shoals and schools as well as the techniques used by the fishermen to the students. The network of the training centre will be a part of the network of AG. Using the top-down network design methodology that you learned in this unit, design the network of AG, including its member fishermen. Each step of your design should clearly explain and justify how you satisfy the requirements.
