Final Project Overview
Your task is to draft a top-level design of an enterprise-wide telecommunications network for a fictitious company, including requirements, LAN topology, and WAN infrastructure that will handle a constant stream of traffic between offices.
Objective
Define the network topology in each office LAN, and define and describe the structure of the WAN to interconnect the offices. Describe the types of equipment you will need, and explain how you will meet the performance reliability requirements. Discuss the relevant protocol choices for both the LANs and the WAN. This is to be a top-level design, and students are not expected to identify brand names, model numbers, or pricing of any items in this network design.
Final Project Timeline
You should budget your time wisely and work on your project throughout the course. As outlined below, some of the assignments, CheckPoints, and discussion questions in the course are designed to assist you in creating your final project. If you complete your course activities and use the feedback provided by the instructor, you will be on the right track to complete your project successfully.
• Due in Week Two: Create a portion of the final project, which includes a paper 1,050 to 1,400 words in length including the following: Describe the LAN topology design that will be used at each office, and provide a checklist of cabling specifications for a cabling contractor. Include a minimum of 2 scholarly references to support your cabling and LAN topology choices. Use the network design template in Appendix B to record this portion of your project.
• Due in Week Four: Design a wide area network (WAN) between offices including the math calculations of how to meet the bandwidth. Describe the general type of WAN connections and network hardware that will be used to interconnect the offices. The paper should be 1,400 to 1,750 words in length and follow APA format with a minimum of 2 references.
• Due Week Six: Justify a decision on whether your network design will support dial-up or VPN remote access. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of your remote access solution. Describe the network protocols that will be used on your network. Describe the office applications and location of servers to support your business applications. The paper should be 1,400 to 1,750 words in length and follow APA format with a minimum of 2 references.
• Due in Week Eight: Plan a high level backup and disaster recovery plan for a business. In addition, discuss the security of the network and suggested best practices for securing the business network. The paper should be 1,050 to 1,400 words in length and follow APA format with a minimum of 2 references.
