Assignment 1 Overview of Internetworking MN503
A case study entitled “TP-LINK Helps Calasanz School Provide Wireless Coverage in Colombia” is uploaded with the assignment 1 folder, and the link for the case study is provided as an appendix.
Based on your understanding of the case study prepare a report on the proposed wired and wireless network design for Calasanz School. The report on the proposed design should have the following contents.
• Project scope
• Challenges
• User-centric design concept
• Project hardware requirements
• Network design in an appropriate simulation software
• Outcomes
• Limitations
• Conclusion
• Demonstration (snapshots of ping connectivity is preferable) • IEEE referencing style
While designing the wired and the wireless network, please consider Calasanz School has six departments, namely, Admin, Academic, Human Resource (HR), Finance, IT support and Sports.
