Assignment Description IT network is the backbone of any business as many services are provided over the network infrastructure. This infrastructure connects all its computers and related devices together, allowing staff to work more efficiently within the organization. Designing a Network requires planning. A company’s IT infrastructure must go through this phase before final implementation. This involves evaluating and understanding how all the elements of the network link together (from routers, switches, APs and servers to desktops, laptops, and printers) to achieve a high performance network. Wireless communication technology can have a significant impact on business allowing senders and recipients to access information while on the move. Hence customers, clients and employees require expect network access and service from different places of the company. There has been considerable interest lately for all businesses to set up mobile computing workplaces for their employees and also mobile computing for other functions of the business from distributors, suppliers and service providers. This assessment requires students to design a secure enterprise wireless network using Packet Tracer for a very large campus that has a building on a big land. The students should develop a WLAN using APs and a tower that enables users outside the building to communicate with the users inside. The students are required to submit a report, which includes: 1. Analyse the requirements i.e., network hardware/software and QoS to make sure the following criteria is met: a) Confidentiality b) Integrity c) Availability d) Authentication e) Authorization 2. Explore the wireless network architecture based on the requirements. 3. Discuss and analyse the security issues and the countermeasure(s) that you have designed. The tutor will need to form the groups of maximum 5 students. The students in each group should be from the same lab. Marking criteria: Section to be included in the report Description of the section Marks Abstract Summarize the project and the outcome 5 Introduction Introduction to enterprise wireless network and the challenges 5 Requirement analysis Analyse the requirements i.e., network hardware/software and QoS to make sure the following criteria is met: a.
