• Create a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer with the following details (40 points):

• Create a network from scratch - assume you are building a new one, without consideration for any existing infrastructure.
• For this task, we are assuming a one-story building with a small business network. Create a topology that would allow for future company expansion and department growth. Start your design from an ISP and follow through all the way into the company's internal network. Label the zones and/or subnets.
• Protect the network with proper security design within the topology.
• Devices you need to connect:
  • 5 servers: Web, Email, Database, File, and Print
  • 5 desktop computers
  • 2 wireless laptops
  • 3 IP Phones
  • Use switches, routers, wireless access points, and firewall(s) where you deem it necessary. Consider how you would group these devices and where you would place them based on their function and security needs.

Submit a screenshot of the completed topology.

Note: This is a topology and planning exercise. Do not worry about making all devices ping. We are focused on the design of the network here.

• Collecting network information from a computer (40 points).

Using the command-line tools and GUI config menus we covered in class, collect the following information about your local network configuration:

• Computer's IP address
• MAC address of the NIC
• Default Gateway's IP address
• Broadcast address for your local network
• Your local routing table

Submit for grade: Screenshots showing the details above. One screenshot can cover several pieces of information we are looking for; you do not have to duplicate screenshots for each piece of info.

• Gathering information about Local Area Network hosts (20 points).

Using the network mapping tool we have discussed in class, scan the LAN you are connected to and detect other hosts on the network.
