Summary and Purpose of Assessment
This is the second assessment task of three assessments that you must satisfactorily complete, in order to be deemed competent for this unit
This project is one of three assessment tasks that students need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this unit. Completing this project allows students to demonstrate the ability to design, install, configure and test Network components in a medium sized network across a Metropolitan Area Network.
Students will incorporate VLSM IP addressing and allow dynamic and static routing between VLANs across a WAN connection to ISP and other Branch of company XYZ. Students will demonstrate an ability to optimise router/switch technology and incorporate management protocols. There are 2 buildings that they will design company XYZ networks in: Main Building and Branch Building.
Assessment Instructions
This is an individual based project to be completed.
What
The company you work for (ACME PTY LTD) has tasked you to look after their networks at their Altona and Broadmeadows plant.
Task 1
The Altona plant has four networks, each network is assigned a VLAN number. The table also shows you how many computers
are in these VLANs. Refer to table below.
You have been given a network of 192.47.X.0/24 from the ISP.
X represents the third and fourth digits of your student ID.
a) Use VLSM to break down the network into its subnets. Fill in the table below.
Task 2
The Broadmeadows plant has four networks, each network is assigned a VLAN number. The table also shows you how many computers are in these VLANs. Refer to table below.
Your starting network address is 192.47.X+1.0/24.
X represents your third and fourth digits put together with one then added to them. e.g. 8, is my third digit, 6 is my fourth digit, 86 + 1 = 87.
a) Use VLSM to break down the network into its subnets. Fill in the table below.
Task 3
The following switches and routers will be deployed:
a) Draw up the logical topology that has two routers, Altona and Broadmeadows connected together over ports s0/0/0 on each end. Each router’s G0/1 port is attached to a switch on port G0/2.
b) Have two buildings in the Physical Topology, one called “Altona Plant” and the other called “Broadmeadows Plant”.
c) Create a wiring closet at the Broadmeadows Plant.
d) Move the Broadmeadows Router and Broadmeadows Switch to the Broadmeadows Plant to the Wiring Closet.
e) In your Logical Topology, create VLAN Coloured Blocks. Place the coloured blocks closest to the device they belong to. Refer to Task 1 and Task 2 to help you.
f) You have been asked to connect the following end devices to their respective switches. Place the devices in their respective VLAN blocks to indicate which VLAN they belong as well. Refer to table below for assistance.
a) In the Physical Topology, create the floor plan so that at the Altona and Broadmeadows Plants. Ensure you follow the rules below.
n Cables run through the walls.
n No diagonal cables are permitted. Create bendpoints instead.
n Cable length must be less than 100 metres from device to device with exception of the serial cable.
n Use green cables to connect Printers to Switches.
n Use orange cables to connect PCs to Switches.
Task 4
a) Secure all the switches by doing the following:
n Assign hostname.
n Create a banner.
n Have no domain names looked up.
n Create a local account called admin with password cisco.
n Secure the console line and vty lines with local authentication.
n Use domain name of cisco.com.
n Generate 1024 bit key for SSH communications.
n Have a Privilege EXEC password of class.
b) Secure all the routers by doing the following:
n Assign hostname.
n Create a banner.
n Have no domain names looked up.
n Create a local account called admin with password cisco.
n Secure the console line and vty lines with local authentication.
n Use domain name of cisco.com.
n Generate 1024 bit key for SSH communications.
n Have a Privilege EXEC password of class.
Task 5
a) On Altona_SW, create the VLANs on it.
b) On Altona_SW place the correct ports in the access VLANs.
c) Set up the trunk VLAN on Altona_SW.
d) Set up InterVLAN routing on Altona router so that each device on the VLANs contained on Altona_SW can communicate with each other. Use the first IP address for each VLAN as the gateway address. Then activate the physical port.
e) On Altona_SW, assign the second usable IP address in its subnet it belongs to. Ensure it knows who its gateway address is.
Task 6
a) On Broadmeadows_SW, create the VLANs on it.
b) On Broadmeadows_SW place the correct ports in the access VLANs.
c) Set up the trunk VLAN on Broadmeadows_SW.
d) Set up InterVLAN routing on Broadmeadows router so that each device on the VLANs contained on Altona_SW can communicate with each other. Use the first IP address for each VLAN as the gateway address. Then activate the physical port.
e) On Broadmeadows_SW, assign the second usable IP address in its subnet it belongs to. Ensure it knows who its gateway address is.
Task 7
a) On Altona Router, set up a DHCP server that allocates IP address for each VLAN except for VLAN 40 and VLAN 100. Ensure you include the default gateway address too assign out. The IP addresses of the sub-interfaces of the Altona Router must not be included in the DHCP allocation. Remember the Gateway address is the first usable IP address assigned for every subnet.
b) Assign the second usable static IP address as the IP address of Server1. The first usable IP address will be the gateway for Server1.
c) Have PC1, PC2, Printer1 and Printer2 obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, verify that it works.
d) On Broadmeadows Router, set up a DHCP server that allocates IP address for each VLAN except for VLAN 80 and VLAN 110. Ensure you include the default gateway address too assign out. The IP addresses of the sub-interfaces of the Broadmeadows Router must not be included in the DHCP allocation. Remember the Gateway address is the first usable IP address assigned for every subnet.
e) Assign the second usable static IP address as the IP address of Server2. The first usable IP address will be the gateway for Server2.
f) Have PC3, PC4, and Printer3 obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, verify that it works.
Task 8
a) Assign IP address of 222.22.2.1/30 to S0/0/0 on Altona Router and activate the port.
b) Assign IP address of 222.22.2.2/30 to S0/0/0 on Broadmeadows Router and activate the port.
c) Use OSPF on Altona Router to advertise its local networks. Use Area 0 and Process ID of 100.
d) Use OSPF on Broadmeadows Router to advertise its local networks. Use Area 0 and Process ID of 100.
Task 9
a) On Altona_SW, shutdown all unused ports.
b) On Broadmeadows_SW, shutdown all unused ports.
c) Enable PortFast on the usable ports on Altona_SW.
d) Enable PortFast on the usable ports on Broadmeadows_SW.
e) On Port 14 on Broadmeadows_SW, you enabled protect mode for switchport security.
f) On Port 13 on Altona_SW, you enabled protect mode for switchport security.
Task 10
You are required to be interviewed by the teacher to prove the Project works. In the demonstration, you must show the following:
a) Have two devices ping other devices in your topology in different VLANs.
b) From any PC, you can SSH to two network devices on the network.
c) That you have enabled port-security on port 13 and port 14 on Altona_SW and Broadmeadows_SW respectively.
Task 11:
a) Verify the following tests on the switch specifying what the outcome was.
a) In order to keep the Server room OH&S compliant, what should you consider doing?
Cable Management: Secure loose cables to prevent tripping. Ventilation/Cooling: Ensure proper airflow and temperature control. Access Control: Restrict physical access to authorized personnel. Fire Safety: Install/maintain smoke detectors and fire suppression systems. Equipment Mounting: Secure racks and devices to prevent tipping. Emergency Exits: Keep pathways and exits unobstructed. Ergonomics: Provide anti-fatigue mats and ensure safe working heights for technicians.
b) Sign off on the project to ensure all the above jobs have been completed.
