MN505 Local Area Network Management Assignment-2 TP1 - 2016 Assignment 2: Written group assignment and demonstration Report submission Due: Week 11. Demonstration: Week 11, during lab time. Total Marks = 25 (25% of total assessment) Purpose of the assessment: The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills required to configuring routers and switches in VLAN networks. In this assessment, students will be able to • Design a simple network with routers and switches; • IP subnet calculation; • Configuring routers and switches using Netsim or lab environment; • Troubleshoot for multiple VLAN configurations; • Test network connectivity for the output in PT or lab environment; • Demonstrate the final outcome. Description of the assessment: Introduction This is a group assignment. Using Netsim, you will need to write a report on the following network. Also you will need to run a group demonstration on both Netsim & real routers and switches to your tutor on the specified time mentioned to your group in the following table. IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't prepare your assignment during the lab time. The lab time is assigned for the lab exercises. - As a network administrator, you will need to design and configure the following network: The network consists of the following: - 3 Routers. - 4 Switches. - 35 PCs are connected to Sales Dept. Switch. - 80 PCs are connected to Technology Dept. Switch. - 15 PCs and a Server are connected to Accounting Dept. Switch. Please note that: - You must use Class-B IP address. - AD-LANS1 Switch is connected to the three Routers through Trunk Links. - Each of the Sales, Technology and Accounting Switches has employees from the three different departments. - A serial connection is required between the TD-LANR1 and Edge-Router; where the DCE interface is on the Edge-Router side. - A separate VLAN must be configured for each Dept. - Switches ports must shutdown in case of more than one computer are connected to any of them at the same time. - To demonstrate your understanding of the LAN concepts and troubleshooting, use Netsim or real routers & switches to setup and configure the above network. Important hint: In Netsim, you may use 3 PCs to be connected to each switch, one PC from each Dept. to represent all types. 2. Requirements: In your configuration you will need to demonstrate the followings: 1- All routers must be configured by an appropriate Routing Protocol. 2- Any VLAN's member must be able to communicate with all other VLAN members in the other networks. 3- Sales and Technology Dept. members are able to communicate with each other through Inter-VLAN communication. 4- Secure your routers and switches using console, aux, vty and secret passwords. 5- Add an interface description to each of the routers/switches interfaces to describe each of them. 6- Troubleshoot your network functionality using appropriate troubleshooting commands for your Routing Protocol. 7- Your company decided to add a new Dept., and your manager asked you to add an extra Router and to connect it to AD-LANS1 Switch. Analyse and suggest an optimum network solution in that case. 8- Prepare two complete designs for your network; Classful and Classless. 9- Compare between the two solutions. Which one are you going to recommend to your manager? Explain why. Submission Guideline: Your assignment should be completed according to the General Guidelines for Presentation of Academic Work. 1. Write a report on the following, include a. detail of the configuration and troubleshooting steps b. brief description and purpose of the various commands used. c. description of figure (if applicable) 2. accompanying documentation including a. table of contents and page numbers b. a front page - indicating your group member names and MIT's ID, c. summary with a statement of what has been completed and acknowledgement of the names of all people (including other students and people outside of the university) who have assisted you. d. list of references used (APA) – please specify if none have been used. e. conclusion 3. The assignment must be submitted in softcopy on Moodle. The pages of the assignment must be clear on each page. 4. Submit and demonstrate your group work in week 11.
