Please do the assignment carefully as it has Part A and Part B, there is a marking criteria for both A and B, make sure you will fulfill all of those.
General
The students should progressively develop their logical network design based on the scenario given in page 5 of this document. In this process, they are expected to participate in the weekly discussions and find the answers to the recommended discussion questions. Discussion questions have been selected and formulated not only to gradually increase the knowledge and skills of the students in this course but also to help them develop the logical network design. The students who do not attempt weekly discussion questions 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 in page 5. Please refer to the course profile to understand how this part of the assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes.
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.
Students should deliver their presentations during the class time. The maximum duration for each presentation groupwill be 15 minutes, including 5 minutes to answer the questions and for 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 0marks for Part A unless they have a valid reason supported by evidence such as a doctor's certificate.
Part A - Marking Criteria
1. Presentation structure:
a. Introduction
Introduce yourself (or your group) and the road map. Aim to engage your audience from the beginning of the presentation.
b.Body
Marks will be given for the quality of the content that you deliver.The content must explain your design.
c. Conclusion
Summarise the key points that you presented in the body.
2. Delivery
Do not read the fulltext, practice and keep to the time limit.
Use the time carefully without rushing at the end.
3. Coping with questions at the end of the presentation (the telephone interview for the distance students).
4. Presentation slides
Ensure that the slide contents are clearly
visible to entire audience and your slides are well-prepared and useful.
Use your slide effectively (i.e. integrated into the presentation).
Part B
Objectives
In this part of the Assessment Item1, you willcomplete your logical network design reportbased on the written and oral feedback that you received after your presentation in Part A. Please refer to the course profile to see how this part of the assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes.
Assessment Task
You are required to analyse the scenario given below and complete a logical design of the network. In Part A of Assessment item 1, you have presented your logical network design to the class. In Part B of the assessment item 1, you will improve your design based on the feedback that you received in Part A and complete your logical network design report. In order to undertake your design, you may need to make justifiable assumptions. You will need to include them in your report. The report must follow the Harvard citation and referencing guidelines.
You also need to upload the logical network design report. This report should include:
1. The list of requirements
2. The list of assumptions - Note: The assumptions are not the requirements that are provided in the task. They are the additionalrequirements that you may need for your design.
3. The logical network diagram(s)
4. The explanation of your logical network design
5. The justification of your logical network design
6. The model for addressing and naming
7. The list of routing and switching protocols
8. The list of security mechanisms
Note:Please do not include an executive summary, a table of contents, an introduction or a conclusion. Please see the marking guide.
The Scenario for Network Design Assessment Tasks
Your company in Australia specialises indesigning networks for local and international clients. They have won a contract to design a network for a project undertaken by a construction company in the Philippines.
This company in the Philippines is planning to construct a new hotel of an international hotel chain on a big island that is situated offshore of the main island. The hotel will have 5 floors and each floor will have 80 rooms. The company also has to create trails through the rainforests in this big island and three small surrounding islands. The terrains of all four islands are not easy to access and all four islands are currently uninhabited. The wildlife habitats of the islands are protected by the government, and except for the hotel and the trails, no other permanent or temporary building constructions are allowed.
The new hotel project also owns a coastal land on the main island. All four islands are 100-200km away from this coastal property and this is the shortest distance from these islands to any available Internet service.The main island has Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 200Mbps fibre optic connections. The big island can fit into a circle of 20km in radius and each small island can fit into a circle of 5km in radius. Each small island is less than 10km away from the seashore of the big island. The network design contract of your company includes the design of the network for the hotel on the big island and the Internet and phone serviceson all four islands. The tourists and hotel staff and tour guides should have Internet access and phone communication from anywhere on these islands to the rest of the world. The trails should have information posts that provide interactive maps and trails of the islands. The user should be able to find the shortest route to a location of interest using them. The surfers will be able to surf in the flagged area of 200m behind the hotel that runs 500m into the sea. However, this is an area known for shark attacks and the surfers should be provided with wireless communication devices to communicate with the lifeguards when required. The company in the Philippines require that the cost of Internet and phone services be minimum.
Using the top-down network design methodology that you learned in this course, design the required network. Each step of your design should clearly explain and justify how you satisfy the requirements.
