Each student has to submit their assignment as guided in the assignment brief. The students
are guided what sort of information is to produce to meet the criteria targeted. You are
required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work
must be supported with research and referenced using the APA referencing system.
LO1: Explore LAN design principles and their application in the network design
process.
LO2: Implement a network using LAN design principles based on a predefined set of
requirements
LO3: Produce an appropriate WAN solution to a set of organizational requirements.
LO4: Solve a range of network related problems using appropriate troubleshooting
techniques and methods.
Scenario
Trijata International (Pvt.) Ltd. a leading network service provider (NSP)located head office at
kapan-10 Nepal provides different network services all over the country. Some of the services
are listed below:
2. Configuration of different networking and security devices like switch, routers, AP,
firewall IPS, IDS etc.
Recently it is going to expand some new branches in Butwal, Pokhara, Surkhet and Nepalgunj.
As a system and network administrator of this company you have to design and implement
network and have to prepare a report also including the following topics:
4. Scalable network.
5. VPN
1. Examine and produce an analysis of the network design models and how they
contribute to the design of a scalable and reliable network.
2. A detailed discussion of LAN redundancy concepts, network features, such as
bandwidth and load and their related issues. The explanations should contain the
possible solutions provided at Layer 2 and 3 of the OSI Model.
3. Provide a detailed account of how redundancy protocols support scalable networks.
4. Design and implement a network prototype using a network simulator (or lab
devices), which incorporates redundancy at Layer 2 and 3 and link aggregation
features with the following requirements:
Include at least three Layer 2 switches.
Provide redundant link between all the switches.
Use Rapid PVST+ as spanning tree protocol.
Use link aggregation in the main active link.
Provide a redundant gateway using a suitable first-hop redundancy protocol.
You also need to provide the following written material as a formal report:
1. A rationale about the selection of the networking devices for the prototype.
2. A comparison between PVST and Rapid PVST and their effectiveness in solving
redundancy issues.
3. A detailed explanation of how the first-hop redundancy protocols will work for IPv4
and IPv6.
4. An evaluation of Ether Channel technology solving bandwidth and load issues.
