Data Communication IT

The following approximate Assessment Criteria should assist you in completing your

assignment:

1. Requirement engineering (20%)

2. Logical design (30%)

3. IP addressing plan (20%)

4. Network diagrams (20%)

5. Documentation (10%)

Your task in this assignment is to propose and document

 Requirement engineering (The analysis of user requirements for the company HQ’s local

area network (LAN))

 A logical design for the HQ LAN

 An IP address plan for the HQ LAN according to the proposed design

 Network diagrams

Ass 2 is a basis of your design. The three routers form the core in what is known as a campus

design. Ass 3 now takes you to a standard industry design which uses this campus design. We add

(in the right place) network devices such as firewalls to protect the network. WiFi is a necessary

part of a modern network. As the HQ is connected to the branch offices, you will need to show

how the HQ is connected to the branch offices. Your textbook has this information shown as Best

Practice Design for LAN (campus).

There are two ways of presenting a network, the logical view and the physical view. Please read the

CCNA chapter 3 in Resources which describes these two viewpoints. You will need to make both a

logical and a physical diagram of the HQ network based on the network shown above with the

three routers. This is your network diagrams mentioned in the rubric below.
