ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION:

This assignment is group$-$based. Each group will have $3-4$ students. You can continue with the same

group as for the previous assessment. In this assignment you will be designing and configuring a

network for a university that has a Class B IP address of $172\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0/16.$ There are two faculties and

each faculty requires two separate subnets: one for staff and another for students. The faculty names

and the number of hosts in each subnet are given below:

Faculty of Arts: $350$ students and $160$ staff members

Faculty of IT: $700$ students and $280$ staff members

Part $0$

Declare team members contributions in the table below:

Responsibilities for the Project

Part $1$

Divide the allocated address space between department subnets as per requirements. Summarize

the IP subnets and masks in a table like this:

Faculty Network Address Host IP Address Range Subnet Mask

Arts $-$ Students

Arts $-$ Staff

IT Students

IT $-$ Staff

Part $2$

Construct the following network topology in GNS$3$ or Packet Tracer simulator. Ensure that all the

hostnames and network addresses are well labelled.

Fig. $1.$ Network design

Part $3$

Configure the router using the assigned hostnames and IP address.

Part $4$

Setup Virtual PC $($VPC$)$ in each of the four subnets as shown above. The virtual PCs provide

lightweight PC environment to execute tools such as ping, and trace route. For each faculty create

two VPCs for students and two VPCs for staff. Each VPC should be able to ping the other VPC in the

same subnet.

Part $5$

Configure the access control list $($ACL$)$ on Router$01$ such that any traffic from Students subnets are

blocked from entering the staff subnet. Traffic to and from other subnets should pass through. Pinging

staff VPCs $($in both faculties$)$ from students VPCs should fail. In other words, student in each faculty

should not be able to ping any staff computer in any faculty. Students can only ping students VPCs in

any faculty. Staff members can ping any VPC $($staff and students in any faculty$).$

Part $6$

Configure DHCP services on Router$01$ such that all VPCs can get IP addresses

dynamically assigned.

Part $7$

Use the following checklist to ensure you network is configured correctly.

Test

IT student VPC cannot ping IT staff VPC

IT student VPC cannot ping Arts staff VPC

IT student VPC can ping Arts VPC

Arts student VPC can ping IT student VPC

IT staff VPC can ping Arts staff VPC

Arts staff VPC can ping IT staff VPC

IT staff VPC can ping IT student VPC

IT staff VPC can ping Arts student VPC

Arts staff VPC can ping IT student VPC

Arts staff VPC can ping Arts student VPC

For each of your routers make sure to save your running configuration using the command write mem

For the VPCs use the save filename command to save the configurations to a file.

Finally save the GNS$3($or Packet Tracer$)$ project, i$.$e$.,$ the topology together with the startup configs.

Zip the GNS$3($or Packet Tracer$)$ project folder and submit it on Moodle with your report. Make sure

your submission is complete and has all the necessary files to run the simulation.

ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION:

The assignment must be submitted online in Moodle. The submission must include a Zip file for the

GNS$3($or Packet Tracer$)$ project and an MS Word or PDF file for the report. Only one member of each

team must submit the files.

The name of all team members and their contribution level $($percentage$)$ must be shown on the first

page of the report $($use the table provided in Part $0).$

The report must include annotated screenshots as evidence for completion of each part. You need to

have a separate section for each part and briefly explain what you did for that part, and then insert

screenshots for the steps taken to complete that part. Each screenshot must have a short annotation

$($one line or two$).$

all screenshots, the date and time of the computer must be clearly shown in the

corner $($look at the sample below$).$ Make sure the date and time of your computer is

correct.

Note: If you miss either the report or the GNS$3($or Packet Tracer$)$ file, you wont receive any mark. In

order to receive a mark for your submission, it is mandatory to present a demo of your

project to your lecturer during week $12.$ Failure to do so will result in a zero mark for your

submission. The lecturer has the discretion to adjust team contributions based on individual

contributions to the demo. It is important to demonstrate your active participation and

contribution to the project during the demo to ensure fair grading and assessment.
