COSC2665 Networking Assignment For Packet Tracer Simulation

Answer:

In completing this assignment, you will be demonstrating expertise in:

• IP addressing;
• VLSM;
• Wireless networking
• ARP, TCP, RIPv2, IP, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, FTP;
• The Packet Tracer simulation;
• The Physical topology;
• Visio;
• SMTP and POP3.

The Scenario

You are an IT expert and you are employed to install a system of IT networks in a Startup University (which you will name).

At present, the university has one campus at Ballarat in Victoria and a Branch office in Central Melbourne.

The campus has an IT Communications room in which the main Ballarat Router is to be kept.

The Ballarat campus has four departments, Commerce, Forestry, Mining Engineering and Science, an Administration office, a Communications Room and a Student Lounge where up to fifty students will connect wirelessly to the Internet simultaneously.

Each Department will have access to its own network printer and DHCP server.

All network printers, DHCP, Web, File and DNS/email servers will have static addresses.

The combination DNS/email server will be located in the Administration Building.

For each department, classrooms will be connected to one LAN per department.

Administration and the Branch Office will each have their own LAN.

The Student Lounge will have a wireless LAN.

The Melbourne office will have a LAN with one PC, a printer and the working University file Server. This office will also host the University Internet connection (represented, for the purposes of this assignment, by a working Web server) .

Your name is …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The University has purchased the Class C network number 200 . . . 0 (Your teacher will give you this number).

The name of your university is (You give it a name and remember it).

Present your Physical Topology when requested to do so, by the end of the last class in Week 15.

Layout of Buildings at Ballarat and Melbourne

Complete the following tasks. Marks are shown in brackets and marks will be awarded according to the rubric associated with this assignment.

Use VLSM to create subnets so that this Class C network can be used and unused IP addresses minimized. Thus, fill out the table on page 6 using your assigned network number on page 3. (6)

Use Visio to draw a clear Physical Topology diagram of equipment locations and network connections. (6)

Use Packet Tracer Version 7.1 to create the logical topology according to your planning table and the following instructions.

Use one DHCP configured PC to represent all the other DHCP configured hosts in a particular LAN.

Present this simulation when requested to do so, by the end of the last class in Week 16.

Configure the devices and connections for the Ballarat LAN’s. (6)

Configure each host in a LAN (except the printer and the Router connection) to use a local DHCP Server where applicable. (6)

Connect “The Internet” to the Melbourne Office router. You will use a working Web Server to represent the Internet.

Ensure that all users can retrieve a Web page from this Server. (6)

Configure the email server so that Administration and the Melbourne Office can exchange emails. (6)

Configure the file server so that clients can send and receive files. (4)

Configure the Student Lounge ISR to use the default wireless addressing but limit the number of users to 50. (4)

Connect the Ballarat Departments’ LAN’s and the Student Lounge Integrated Services Router (ISR) to the Ballarat Main router using Ethernet cables. (4)

Connect the Ballarat Router to the Melbourne Office Router with a serial cable. (4)

Statically configure Administration and the Melbourne Office. (4)

Configure RIPv2 on both routers. (4)
