MTCS5037: Classify The Architectures Of Local Area Networks (LAN) And Wide Area Networks (WAN): Data Networking Assignment, DU, Australia

Module learning outcomes assessed by this coursework:

On successful completion of this assignment, students will be expected, at threshold level, to be able to:

1. Classify the architectures of Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN), network devices, standards and protocols used and configuration of devices to optimize operation, and interconnection.

2. Configure simple networks with routers and switches, and use common network utilities to verify connectivity, and analyze data traffic.

TASKS

1- Investigate what technologies, protocols, and devices should be used in areas 1 and area 2, considering the geographical distances and the communication technology used.

2- Students are expected to use their proposed devices, technologies, and protocols to achieve connectivity from PC1, PC2, and the laptop to the FTP server.

3- Students are required to write a report (with a minimum of 1000 words), containing, as sections, the following:

a- Introduction

b- Problem statement

c- Proposed technologies, protocols, and devices

d- Justification of using the proposed technologies, protocols, and devices.

e- Final topology (Screenshot)

f- Addressing and Subnetting tables

g- Verification of connectivity (Screenshots)

h- Conclusion: you should mention the reasons why it worked or did not work, limitations of certain technologies or devices that did not achieve connectivity and challenges you may have faced during working with the topology.
