Unit Code MN621
Unit Title Advanced Network Design
Assessment Type Individual written report and group demonstration – Assignment 2
Assessment Title Local Area Network Design and Setup using VLANs for VOIP
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) Main objectives of this assignment is to enable student to understand networking devices, gather requirements for a given business case study, plan a network design and setup VLAN appropriately using physical networking devices. After successful completion of this assignment, students should be able to:
a. Analyse the need for advanced networks, standards and network solutions
b. Investigate suitable network designs to match requirements.
c. Create appropriate frameworks and standards for network implementation
d. Produce detailed business reports for planning, designing, implementing and comparing networks appropriate to business requirements.

Academic Misconduct
• Academic Misconduct is a serious offence. Depending on the seriousness of the case, penalties can vary from a written warning or zero marks to exclusion from the course or rescinding the degree. Students should make themselves familiar with the full policy and procedure available. For further information, please refer to the Academic Integrity Section in your Unit Description.

Assignment Description
This assignment is extension of first assignment to Wide Area Network.
Design an advanced network for the given case study given in assignment 1, and connect each floor with Wide Area Network i.e. router to router connection.
Write a report on a network plan and configurations.
1. Draw a complete advanced network design for a chosen case study. Include at least two floors and VOIP
for each floor.
2. Detailed setup of advanced network devices.
3. Write configurations of each networking device which are included in the whole network.
4. Configure switches, routers and PCs on physical networking devices and demonstrate the working
model.
In your report include the following contents
• Project Scope
• Network diagrams
• Project hardware requirements
o Name of the network device with manufacturer’s name, series, model and ports
• Network device configurations
o Include most of the suitable feature which you have studies from laboratories 7 to 10.
Demonstration: Students can demonstrate in a group of 2. Students should be ready with all setup and configurations before start of the laboratory class. Tutor will ask 2-3 questions to each student to demonstrate any configuration of the setup. Demonstration from each student should not be more than 3 minutes.
Students should give their group members to tutor in week 11 during lab class. Students will get demonstration timetable before start of the week 12 lab class.
