NETW251 - Network Design and Implementation Portfolio Project Directions and Rubric This Portfolio Project is worth 20% of your overall grade. Completing this Assessment will help you to meet the following outcomes: Course Outcomes Design a network infrastructure that meets current and future organizational needs, based on provided scenarios. Analyze organizational needs and recommend hardware and software components for an enterprise-based network, based on provided scenarios. Design a comprehensive enterprise networking architecture for maximum synergy of software, hardware, and network functionality. Develop a comprehensive security plan to protect organizational data assets, including data, client machines, and productivity tools. Troubleshoot common and complex network-related problems, based on provided scenarios. Program Outcome Demonstrate the ability to translate technical information into business language to meet organizational needs. Institutional Outcomes Information Literacy and Communication - Utilize appropriate current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal, and then communicate findings in visual, written and/or oral formats. Relational Learning - Transfer knowledge, skills and behaviors acquired through formal and informal learning and life experiences to new situations. - Thinking Abilities - Employ strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement. . Scenario You are a Network Engineer for Bryant & Stratton College. The Board of Directors and Executive Staff have deemed it necessary to revamp the aging network into a new modern network that is scalable. It was decided to use the Cisco three-layer hierarchical network design model to influence the expansion although not all devices need to be Cisco. This model was chosen for its simple influence upon network planning. The three layers of the expanded network design include Access Distribution Core A number of tasks have been coming down to various departments and your team has been advised that you will be responsible for the network design and eventually the implementation Directions You will complete the assignments each week and submit various components of your report to your team lead for review and approval before your final submission to the Board of Directors. The final submission of the Portfolio Project will be due at the end of Week 7. By that time, your report should meet the following criteria: Approximately 750 words, with one-page for a basic network drawing Adhere to the APA Guidelines - make sure you include a title and reference page Include the 10 topic headings collectively listed each week. The network will cover the main campus building, remote buildings on site as well as remote offices in various cities for the purposes of the paper one remote building and I remote office is sufficient and I workstation per location.) Revision History - Although this is not included until your final submission, you must keep track of your revisions each week. Deliverable Descriptions Week 2: IP Number Scheme Due by the end of Week 2 at 11:59 pm. ET. The first submission for your Portfolio Project will be the IP numbering scheme that you propose to use in your network. Write an approximately one-page paper that will include the following as topic headings: Overview - Defines the scenario why this network redesign is necessary Purpose Outlines what this new network design aims to accomplish Scope - Defines the area that this network will provide coverage to IP number scheme that will be used for the devices once you select them.
