Ava is a business owner and does not have Information Technology background. Ava knows that a computer, a printer, or a fax machine is not a networking device. Ava knows that every employee will be assigned with a computer. But, such information has little to do with the Project. Ava has no interest in knowing the network or IT related terminologies. If your proposal provides the description or definition of a terminology, such as what an intranet is or how a local area network operates, your proposal makes no sense. Your proposal must stick to Ava's requirements. Ava needs the answers to questions, including o How many local area networks do you propose? o What is the type of LAN for every proposed local area network? o What networking device/devices will be used to build every proposed local area network? o Which business or businesses will be supported by which proposed local area network? o Will any of the proposed local area networks put her business at risks? o Does the proposal satisfy the PCI DSS requirements and how? o What internetworking device will to interconnect the company's local area networks? Can you answer the above questions by looking at your proposal? If not, your proposal is incorrect. Technically, there is no such thing as a partially correct solution. For example, if your proposal puts Ava's business at risks, you will NOT be paid and will be asked to cover her loss. You need to work on the Project, starting Week #1 of the semester. You need to review all homework assignments and quizzes. The Project requires the same knowledge covered in the previous assignments. Did you check the comments/solutions to the previous assignments? Can all types of LAN support real-time applications? What is a networking device? What is an internetworking device? Is a networking device the same as an internetworking device? Are you confused between the local area network and network? Is a network the same as a local area network? Is a sandwich the same as a chicken sandwich? How many different types sandwiches are there? If you proposed to use the Internet to interconnect the proposed local area networks, you are very much confused and do not understand what a local area network is. If you proposed WAN or MAN, you did not read/understand Ava's requirements. If your posed wireless network, you did not read/understand Ava's requirements. How many different types of local area network (LAN) are covered in Lesson 9? If your proposal recommends a chicken sandwich, your diagram should not look like a hamburger. o How does an Ethernet look like? o How does FDDI local area network look like? o How does Token Ring local area network look like? Requirements: Ava is starting a new company. An Ethernet local area network with the Internet connection has already built to support the communication applications, such as the email, video conference/chat, etc. Ava needs 2 or more local area networks to support her businesses. All her businesses handle sensitive data and cannot use the wireless network technology. Listed below are her businesses. 1. Accounting Service. A data center (also known as a remote data server) must be established to satisfy the PCI DSS regulations/requirements. 2. Real-time Trading Report Service.

Your proposal must include all items listed below. 1. An explanation of how your proposal will satisfy the PCI DSS requirements/regulations. 2. For every proposed local area network: a. A network diagram for this proposed local area network b. The type of LAN for this proposed local area network c. The network device/devices will be used to build this proposed local area network d. The business/businesses will be supported by this proposed local area network 3. An infrastructure diagram, showing how the company's local area networks will be interconnected 4. The internetworking device will be used to interconnect the company's local area networks How does a network diagram look like? (2 sample network diagrams are listed below.) The network diagram below shows that it is an Ethernet local area network and uses a switch to interconnect the network equipment, including the workstation, laptop, and printer. Visual Paradigm Online Free Edition Ethernet Server Ethernet Switch Printer Workstation Laptop Secondary Workstation Concentrator Workstation The following network diagram shows the FDDI local area network which uses a concentrator (a type of router) and standard router to interconnect the network equipment. Laptop Visual Paradigm Online Free Edition FODI Primary Page 3 of 5 How does an infrastructure diagram look like? The following infrastructure diagram shows: It is an organization's intranet which consists of 3 Ethernet local area networks. O From to down, left to right: O O O The first Ethernet local area network uses Ethernet switch as the networking device to connect the network equipment, including the workstations and controlled database. The second Ethernet local area network uses an Ethernet hub to connect workstations. The third Ethernet local area network uses a router to connect workstations. The internetworking devices used in this intranet are: a concentrator (a type of router) and 3 routers. O Note: The router used in the third Ethernet serves dual purposes: (1) connecting the workstations and (2) providing the connect to other local area network in this intranet.

This assignment is worth 20% of your course grade. Table 1 Project Grading Rubric Deducted Why 20% 20% 20% 10% 10% 10% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% 3% Submitted solution has little or nothing to do with the requirements. Missed the deadline. Submitted one or more binary files, including the zip file and image file. Submitted solution does not support all Ava's businesses. Submitted solution will put Ava's business at risks. Proposed solution does not satisfy PCI DSS regulations/requirements. For every proposed local area network: There is no network diagram or the network diagram is incorrect. For every proposed local area network: Did not specify the type of LAN or list an incorrect type of LAN. For every proposed local area network: Did not provide the required networking device/devices. For every proposed local area network: Did not specify the type of business/businesses to support. Submitted solution does not have the infrastructure diagram or has an incorrect diagram. Submitted solution does list the internetworking device or has an incorrect internetworking device. For every mistake included in the solution. For example, Internet is the same as intranet; A printer is a networking device; A laptop is a networking device; LAN is the same as WAN; One type of network works for all types of businesses. Internet is part of the company's local area network. If you made 5 mistakes, you would have lost 15% out of 20% (3% x 5 = 15%). Page 5 of 5
