Network proposal<\/p>\n

You have been hired as part of the networking team at UMUC. After completing orientation and training, your manager calls you into a meeting to discuss your first <\/p>\n

project.<\/p>\n

The university has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland. The building will house offices, classrooms, a library, and computer labs. Security is important <\/p>\n

for UMUC, as the university must protect students\u2019 and employees\u2019 data, as well as any intellectual property that UMUC has on its servers and computers. As a result, <\/p>\n

IT management would like to take the time to review proposals on how best to move forward on security issues. As a network engineer, you have been asked to prepare a <\/p>\n

network proposal on how to set up a secure network infrastructure in this building to support university operations.<\/p>\n

After speaking to your manager, you are excited about the project, but you realize you will have a busy schedule. As you are writing your proposal, you will also have <\/p>\n

to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ Certification exam. One of the conditions of your employment at this university is that you obtain this certification within 60 <\/p>\n

days of being hired.<\/p>\n

The network proposal represents a great opportunity to document your expertise. Additionally, it is also a great opportunity for you to form an integrated view of the <\/p>\n

different aspects of networking which are tested in the certification exam.<\/p>\n

In this learning demonstration, you will use the TestOut Network Pro (LabSim) to learn about the different types of networks and how to configure them. These <\/p>\n

activities will prepare you for the CompTIA Network+ Certification exam. In order to identify your strengths and weaknesses, you will first complete the CompTIA <\/p>\n

Network+ Certification Practice exam. Then, during the next eight weeks, as you step through each set of activities in LabSim, you will also be drafting sections of <\/p>\n

your network design proposal.<\/p>\n

Use the results of the Network+ certification practice exam you took at the beginning of the class to help guide you on which areas within LabSim you should pay closer <\/p>\n

attention. You must complete all online labs in LabSim; these are the activities with the computer mouse icon. The Network Design Proposal will be submitted in three <\/p>\n

parts: physical network design, network addressing, and network services design.<\/p>\n

In this section, address each of the following.
1. Define the topology that will be used.<\/p>\n

2. Select the appropriate network media.<\/p>\n

3. Select the appropriate network connecting devices, including network security devices.<\/p>\n

4. Select the appropriate computer systems to use to support the network design.<\/p>\n

5. Determine a physical layout of the computers on the floor plan, along with the network wires (network wiring diagram).<\/p>\n

6. Provide justifications for each element of your network design (numbers 1\u20134 above).<\/p>\n

Network Design Proposal Template
Network Design Proposal<\/p>\n

Prepared for:
University of Maryland University College<\/p>\n

Prepared by:
Student Name<\/p>\n

I. Physical Network Design<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Consider introducing the overall objective of the network design. Look into UMUC\u2019s Strategic Plan, how would the network design help the stakeholders, the leadership <\/p>\n

of the university, the students, and the instructors achieve their goals? How would a great network design contribute to students (your) experiences in learning? To <\/p>\n

do this we look at five aspects of a network design herein to support the leadership to help meet the goals of the strategic plan.<\/p>\n

A. Network Topology<\/p>\n

Business Needs<\/p>\n

In this section, you will assess the business needs of the company. Use the information provided in the scenario to analyze the need for infrastructure or equipment. <\/p>\n

If you need more information, feel free to ask your instructor or make some assumptions. If you make some assumptions, be sure to list them. This section is not about <\/p>\n

the actual infrastructure or equipment, but it should discuss the business needs of the company.<\/p>\n

Example<\/p>\n

ABS Enterprises believes that employees\u2019 health, well\u00adbeing, and morale have a significant impact on the productivity of the employees and thus the overall results or <\/p>\n

output of the company. The company wants to invest in a facility that will provide the most return on investment while still providing a facility that employees will <\/p>\n

use. The company has 20 employees and wants needs one or more servers and two printers. All computers should be able to communicate, but the HR staff of 5 needs to be <\/p>\n

on a separate network due to the sensitive information on their PC\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Proposed Topology<\/p>\n

Select one or more topologies to use for this design (star, bus, mesh, ring- Please note that the star topology is the most commonly used). This section should be used <\/p>\n

to provide details of the selected infrastructure or equipment. Include the model, manufacturer, features, and cost. Below is an example topology. Topologies can be <\/p>\n

created using Microsoft Visio, or you can create a free account at gliffy.com and create diagrams.<\/p>\n

Justification<\/p>\n

(Each section should contain the reasoning you present to justify the selection you made for your proposal. Look at it as your platform to tell finance and operations <\/p>\n

personnel why this should be selected for the network design)<\/p>\n

B. Network Media<\/p>\n

Note: (Choose wired or wireless) Be aware that your solution needs to include support for the selected media. For example, if you choose wireless, ensure you have <\/p>\n

wireless adapters for your desktops.<\/p>\n

Business Needs<\/p>\n

Assess the business needs.<\/p>\n

Proposed Network Media (include network wiring diagrams)<\/p>\n

Select one or more network media to use for this design.<\/p>\n

Justification<\/p>\n

Justify your determination that the selected media will meet the business needs.<\/p>\n

C. Network Devices<\/p>\n

Business Needs<\/p>\n

Assess the business needs.<\/p>\n

Proposed Network Devices<\/p>\n

Select network devices to use to implement and support your design. Include setup and location information for the devices. Provide a comprehensive list of devices, <\/p>\n

including the quantity of each device needed.<\/p>\n

Justification<\/p>\n

Justify your determination that the selected network devices will meet the business needs.<\/p>\n

Example: I selected a Cisco 2621 Router in order to connect the HR users to the rest of the company\u2019s employees<\/p>\n

D. Network Security Devices<\/p>\n

Business Needs<\/p>\n

Assess the business needs.<\/p>\n

Proposed Network Security Devices<\/p>\n

Select network security devices to use to secure the network. Include setup and location information for the devices. Provide a comprehensive list of devices, <\/p>\n

including the quantity of each device needed.<\/p>\n

Justification<\/p>\n

Justify your determination that the selected network security devices will meet the business needs.<\/p>\n

Example: I selected a Cisco ASA 5510 Firewall in order to protect the company\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

E. Computer Systems<\/p>\n

Business Needs<\/p>\n

Assess the business needs.<\/p>\n

Proposed Computer Systems<\/p>\n

Select computer systems (servers) to use to implement the network design. Include setup and location information for the devices. Provide a comprehensive list of <\/p>\n

devices, including the quantity of each system needed.<\/p>\n

Justification<\/p>\n

Justify your determination that the selected systems will meet the business needs.<\/p>\n

Example: I selected Windows 10 Professional for the operating system, because it is the newest, most secure, and stable version of Windows for end users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
