Transferable skills and competencies developed

On successful completion of this unit, students will have gained the knowledge and
skills needed to successfully install, operate and troubleshoot a small network; and
the operation of IP data networks, router, switching technologies, IP routing technologies,
IP services and basic troubleshooting. Supporting a range of units in the Higher National
suite, this unit underpins the principles of networks for all and enables students to work
towards their studies in vendor units, if applicable. Students will develop skills such as
communication literacy, critical thinking, analysis, reasoning and interpretation, which are
crucial for gaining employment and developing academic competence.

Vocational scenario

You are employed as a Network Engineer by Nguyen Networking Limited, a high-tech


networking solution development company, which have branches in Ho Chi Min City,
Hanoi, Da Nang and Can Tho.
The company has been contracted to implement a networking project from a local
educational institute. The specification of the project is given below:
People: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing and administration staff, 5 higher
managers including the head of academics and the programme manager, 3 computer
network administrators.
Resources: 50 student lab computers, 35 staff computers, 3 printers.
Building: 3 floors, all computers and printers are on the ground floor apart from the IT
labs – one lab located on the first floor and another located on the second floor.

Assignment activity and guidance

To complete this task successfully you will have to work through a number of parts:
The CEO Mr. Nguyen is happy with your first report and now he has asked you to analyze
the specification from the institution, as given earlier.
You need to design and implement the networking project within a given timeframe:
Part 2 Design efficient networked systems
1. Prepare a written step-by-step plan of how you are going to design a Local Area
Network including a blueprint of your LAN.
2. Justify your choice of devices for your network design.
3. Produce a test plan to evaluate this design for the requirements of bandwidth and cost
constraints as per user specifications.
4. Justify the security requirements and quality of services needed for selection of

accessories.
5. Suggest a maintenance schedule to support the networked system.
Part 3 Implement test and diagnose networked systems
1. Implement a networked system based on your prepared design.
2. Conduct verification with e.g. Ping, extended ping, trace route, telnet, SSH, etc.
3. Record the test results and analyze these against expected results.
4. Investigate what functionalities would allow the system to support device growth and
the addition of communication devices.
5. Discuss the significance of upgrades and security requirements in your
recommendations.
