3. Ensure that all headings are consistent in terms of size and font style.
4. Use footer function on the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject, Assignment No,
and Page Number on each page. This is useful if individual sheets become detached for
any reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to help edit
your assignment.
6. Ensure that your printer’s output is of a good quality and that you have enough ink to

6. Failure to achieve at least a PASS grade will result in a REFERRAL grade being given.
7. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic REFERRAL. You
will then be asked to complete an alternative assignment.
8. Take great care that if you use other people’s work or ideas in your assignment, you
properly reference them, using the HARVARD referencing system, in you text and any
bibliography, otherwise you may be guilty of plagiarism.
9. If you are caught plagiarising you could have your grade reduced to A REFERRAL or at

Assignment Scenario

As most companies, XYZ Company also started as a small business and host count of the network
was very few. Company network is grown with the growth of the company. Now it has about 650
hosts, but structure of the network still remains same.
Task 01

1.1 Redesign the flat network given in the scenario by avoiding weaknesses. Consider the following
when you are redesigning the network.
  Connectivity and Security
  Redundancy
 Growth
This task provides evidence for P15.1.1, P15.3.3 & P15.3.4

1.2 Design suitable IP structure for your network using VLSM. (Show all calculations done by
yourself)
This task provides evidence for P15.1.1 & P15.1.3

Task 02

2.1 Use OSPF as interior gateway protocol for your network.

This task provides evidence for P15.1.2, P15.3.1, P15.3.2, P15.3.4

2.2 Configure Etherchannel for redundant links of your network.

This task provides evidence for P15.2.1, P15.2.2, P15.2.3

2.3 Configure all routers and switches for SSH access.

This task provides evidence for P15.3.3, 15.3.4

2.4 Configure Access Control Lists (ACL) to allow Internet & E-mail access to all users.
This task provides evidence for P15.3.3, P15.3.4

Deliverables

 A soft copy of the assignment should be attached to the final hard copy of the assignment.

 All assignments should be submitted in the correct portfolio format by the required deadline
and checked fully for spelling and grammar.

 Please avoid unwanted and wrong commands from your work which might affect
your score. Use your own design and configurations with evident to show the network
operation with explanations.

 Provide the configuration steps on sequential order, NOT the Entire screenshots after
completing the individual tasks. Provide “show running-configuration” command output for
the devices you have configured in the end of the task.
