In the final project, you assume the role of a wireless network<\/p>\n
consultant working for a company named Apex Designs. You helped<\/p>\n
the company determine that installing a wireless network in five of<\/p>\n
their office buildings would be cost-effective and beneficial.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company wants each of its 345 employees to connect their<\/p>\n
laptops to the wireless network anywhere within the five buildings.<\/p>\n
Your task is to present Apex Designs with a plan that outlines how<\/p>\n
you intend to design their wireless network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This assignment asks you to develop a wireless network design plan<\/p>\n
for one of Apex Designs\u2019 buildings. Complete the recommended<\/p>\n
steps for designing a wireless LAN and create a wireless security<\/p>\n
policy. Apex Designs has already completed some of the plan\u2019s<\/p>\n
components, but you must complete the remaining elements.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Resources: Appendix A; CWNA Certified Wireless Network<\/p>\n
Administrator Official Study Guide<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Select one of the five floor plans in Appendix I. Use the data<\/p>\n
gathered in the Floor Plan Site Survey assignment to determine the<\/p>\n
floor plan you want to use in your final project. You will use this floor<\/p>\n
plan throughout your final project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Use the template in Appendix J to compile the following components<\/p>\n
of your wireless network plan:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
? Deployment Scenario<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Determine the correct deployment scenario for your network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Provide a rationale for the scenario you selected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Identify the hardware components your wireless network will<\/p>\n
utilize. You may select components from the Wireless<\/p>\n
Network Components assignment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Provide a rationale for how you will use each component in<\/p>\n
your network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Estimate the approximate cost of each component in your<\/p>\n
network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
? IEEE Wireless Network Type: Apex Designs has indicated that<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
an 802.11n LAN will be implemented.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
? Access Point Management: Apex Designs will use thin access<\/p>\n
points to simplify the management of the wireless LAN. Thin<\/p>\n
access points allow managing the wireless network from one<\/p>\n
central location rather than to be configured separately for each<\/p>\n
access point.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
? Location of Wireless Devices<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Develop a network performance impediment report using the<\/p>\n
data from the Floor Plan Site Survey assignment. The report<\/p>\n
must discuss any impediments to network performance<\/p>\n
located in the floor plan you selected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Include large items such as filing cabinets, concrete walls, or<\/p>\n
other objects that might interfere with the performance of<\/p>\n
your wireless network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Use Appendix I to place access points and switches in the<\/p>\n
proper locations on your floor plan. You must provide a<\/p>\n
strong, continuous signal to the entire floor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Draw the necessary network cables between access points<\/p>\n
and switches using the drawing tools in Microsoft\u00ae<\/p>\n
Word.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
? Wireless Security Policy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Identify the types of security your wireless network will<\/p>\n
implement. Your security policy must include at least two of<\/p>\n
the security protections listed in Ch. 13 of CWNA Certified<\/p>\n
Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o Write a one-half-page summary for each protection and<\/p>\n
include an explanation of why you selected it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
o List the vulnerabilities of each protection you selected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
