| Assignment title | Amun-Ra |
| Purpose of this assignment 1. Understand networking principles 2. Understand networking components 3. Be able to design networked systems 4. Be able to implement and support networked systems | |
Scenario Amun-Ra Publishing House is a UK based book publisher located in Nottingham. The company has recently started producing digital books at a new branch office in central London. Amun-Ra urgently needs to implement a new networking system in order to improve its operation. 24 employees are based at the Nottingham office and only 10 at central London along with 3 Database Developers who work from home. As a network engineer, you are required to provide a detailed report and demonstrate Amun-Ra’s network configuration for the company’s CEO, your report and demonstration is required to include the following: | |
| Task 1 (LO 1: P1.1, P1.2, P1.3, M1 and M2): a. Discuss the benefits and constraints of different networking systems types and topologies, and analyse the features of wireless and wired configurations b. Evaluate the impact of current network technology, communication and standards. Discuss the impacts of cloud computing on organisations and how it can benefit Amun-Ra c. Discuss how protocols enable the effective utilisation of different networking systems | |
Task 2 (LO 2:P2.1, P2.2, P2.3, D1): a. Discuss the role of software and hardware components b. Discuss server types and selection requirement. Specify and justify appropriate software and hardware components that exceed Amun-Ra’s requirement c. Discuss the inter-dependence of workstation hardware with network components | |
Task 3: Plan (LO 3: P3.1, P3.2, D2)
| |
| Task 4: (Lo 4: P4.1, P4.2, P4.3, P4.4, P4.5, M3, D3) a. Implement a networked system based on a prepared design: Screen prints of configuration/settings and witness statement of a prototype (at least 1, server, 2 workstations and a printer) Implement at least 3 different security configurations [P4.1; M3] b. Test the network system (against your original design) to meet user requirements (screen print evidence showing file transfer between 2 nodes or 2 users) [P4.2] c. Document and analyse test results against expected results Explain in relation to your design and annotate screen prints evidence in 4.2 above [P4.3] d. Recommend potential enhancements for (Amun-Ra’s new network) the networked systems. [P4.4] e. Design a maintenance schedule to support Amun-Ra’s new network. Analyse potential network problems in terms of bandwidth, connectivity and security, recommend ways to avoid these problems [P4.5; D3] f. P4.1; P4.1, P4.3 and P4.4 must be summarised in MS PowerPoint and presented to the whole group (5min presentation and 2 min for Q&A) | |
