Each site is equippedwith one or more access devices to enable connections to the ABC infrastructure. The currentimplementation of the AMS-IX peering platform uses an MPLS/VPLS infrastructure. ABC networkconnect with either Gigabit Ethernet (GE), 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE), 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE)or multiples of these on the access devices. ABC has 15 corporates and 100 local clients in Australia.Now ABC is acquiring another site for IXP based in Adelaide. Projected growth is estimated to beanother 40 additional employees and 30 local clients in Adelaide IXP. The aggressive growth hasbrought about some unique challenges and opportunities. In your role as a Network Manager for thisproject, you are required to design a network for ABC Adelaide IXP which needs to be connectedthrough Perth and Melbourne IXP with optical fiber minimum 10 GE connection for redundancypurpose.Upon initial planning, you identified there are 40 employees at site in Adelaide. Site has 2 levels, atlevel 2 they have core network setup of 10 network racks. Each rack has 10 routers, 1 switch and aserver. 30 Desktops are placed at level 1 with additional 10 laptops for Management staff. IP phonesare located on each desk to communicate to service desk. Also, 2 wireless printers are required atLevel 1. There is a conference room in which one display screen preferably smart is required for videoconferencing facility.Site has lobby for employees which is 200 meters open space where wireless access is required. Onlyauthorized users should have the access to this site and biometric authentication is required as perclient requirements. Selection of appropriate standards and technology for network implementationplays a vital role in this project.Your task is to come up with a logical, efficient and scalable network design. ABC has allowed anadequate budget to purchase any networking devices that may be required, yet obviously does notwant to spend more than necessary. In addition, industry-specific standards must be used and applyto IT infrastructure and services.Write a report and include:1. Build a document giving all the necessary network designs (enough information should beprovided that will allow any technician to build your network structure from scratch).2. Simple IP addressing solution (step by step workout of the calculations) that leaves room forgrowth, is easy to administer and has the minimum wastage of available IP address space.3. Write configurations of each networking device which are included in the network.4. Configure two switches and two PCs on physical networking devices and demonstrate theworking model.BN321 Advanced Network Design Page 3 of 4Prepared by: Mr. Naveed Dilber Moderated by: Dr. SM Farhad, Nov 2018Demonstration: Students should be ready with all setup and configurations before start of thelaboratory class. Tutor will ask 3-5 questions to each student to demonstrate any configuration ofthe setup. Demonstration from each student should not be more than 5 minutes.In your report include the following contents Project Scope Detailed Network diagrams Project hardware requirements- Name of the network device with manufacturer’s name, series, model and ports- Type of the cables used- Name of the server, PC with specification such as operating system, RAM, hard disketc. Network device configurations- Include most of the suitable feature which you have studied from laboratories 1 to 6.Marking criteria:Section to be included in thereportDescription of the section MarksProject scope Outline of the report 4Project hardwarerequirements- Name of the network device withmanufacturer’s name, series, model andports- Type of the cables- Name of the server, PC with specificationsuch as operating system, RAM, hard disk etc.6Network Design Include a diagram of your designed network, andwrite justifications of your design10Network device configurations Configuration commands to configure network 10Demonstration on physicaldevicesDemonstration of configured network devicesduring lab time15Reference style Follow IEEE reference style 5Total 50BN321 Advanced Network Design Page 4 of 4Prepared by: Mr. Naveed Dilber Moderated by: Dr. SM Farhad, Nov 2018Marking RubricGradeMarkHD40-50DI35-39CR30-34P25-29Fail<25Excellent Very Good Good Satisfactory UnsatisfactoryProject scope/4Concise andspecific to theprojectTopics arerelevant andsoundlyanalysed.Generallyrelevant andanalysed.Somerelevance andbrieflypresented.This is notrelevant to theassignmenttopic.Projecthardwarerequirements/6Demonstratedexcellent abilityto think criticallyand sourcedreferencematerialappropriatelyDemonstratedexcellentability to thinkcritically butdid not sourcereferencematerialappropriatelyDemonstrated ability tothink criticallyand sourcedreferencematerialappropriatelyDemonstratedability to thinkcritically anddid not sourcereferencematerialappropriatelyDid notdemonstrateability to thinkcritically anddid not sourcereferencematerialappropriatelyNetworkDesign/10Logic is clear andeasy to followwith strongargumentsConsistencylogical andconvincingMostlyconsistentlogical andconvincingAdequatecohesion andconvictionArgument isconfused anddisjointedNetworkdeviceconfigurations- Switchconfiguration/10All elements arepresent and verywell integrated.Componentspresent withgood cohesiveComponentspresent andmostly wellintegratedMostcomponentspresentProposal lacksstructure.Networkdeviceconfigurations- Routerconfiguration/15All elements arepresent and verywell integrated.Componentspresent withgood cohesiveComponentspresent andmostly wellintegratedMostcomponentspresentProposal lacksstructure.IEEEReferencestyle/5Clear styles withexcellent sourceof references.ClearreferencingstyleGenerallygoodreferencingstyleSometimesclearreferencingstyleLacksconsistencywith manyerrors
