Paddy Murphy is the owner of the Mesa Irish Dancing Academy. Paddy's academy currently has 31 students which consists of both boys and girls all aged between 5 and 10 years of age. To run his academy, Paddy hired the former world Irish dancing champion 'Colin Farrell'. Two Vets (who both served with Paddy in the US Airforce) volunteer on a regular basis. 

Paddy's academy has recently received a large financial donation from none other than Michael Flatley, yes, you read that correctly....'The Michael Flatley". As Michael is quite reserved, he wishes that the actual donation amount not be made known to public.

 Paddy has the responsibility of spending Michael's donation in a way that would best serve his academy. Paddy's first wish is to implement a local computer network in his academy, so the students can communicate with each other, access dance routines from a central computer and the ability for students to print certain routines. Paddy would like each student to have a desktop while his coach (Colin), his two Vet volunteers, and himself would need laptops.

 Paddy does not want the students or anybody for that matter to have the ability to access the Internet under any circumstances. Paddy also wants each student to have a designated PC, so he wants to have a PC assigned each student.

 One of Paddy's great strengths which is gets from his late father (Paddy Senior) is his ability to look ahead.  Paddy at some point down the line wants to have other dancing age groups in his academy. He would like these other age groups to communicate separately with each other. At the moment, Paddy just wants the one age group to be setup.

 Paddy predicts the following age groups and number of students per group. Don't forget his existing 5 -10 age group.

 ·       11 - 13 years: 40 students

·       14 - 17 years: 25 students

·       18 and above 8 students

 

Exam Requirements

You are required to complete 5 tasks.

1.     Create a physical topology of Paddy's current requirements and include the following

·       Location of PCs, cables, laptops, printer, switch and anything else you feel Paddy needs based on his current requirements as outlined above.

·       Paddy only wants to start with the 5 - 10 age group, for now.

 2.     Create a logical topology & addressing scheme of Paddy's requirements

·       Show the name, IP address and subnet mask for each device.

·       Paddy has assigned you the 192.168.66.0 network.

·       Paddy wants to you use the subnet mask that will provide the least wastage of IP addresses.

·       You should have downloaded the template from the module section to fill in your answers.

 3.     Setup the network topology in Packet Tracer based on Paddy's current requirements.

 4.     Configure the PC's with an IP address and the custom subnet mask (that you worked out in Requirement 2)
