Horizon Training Academy Network Analysis and Desing Course Name

Presented By: Group …… Student No Full Name 1 2

Background of the Project Logical network design: -Horizon Training Academy -Next 5 years Three sites- -Luton (Head Quarter) -Manchester -Glasgow Aims and Objective: -99.9% redundant logical network! -Fault tolerance (reliability), extensibility, security, isolation, usability and speed

Project Management SDLC: -Bottom up Approach -Prototyping Deliverables: -Packet tracer simulation (Logical Design) -Documentation (full report + ppt) Exclusion: emulation of logical design Team Work: everyone with equal participation

Infrastructure specification Luton Site -3 Departments  Isolation -4 labs  Cable oriented  Wireless -3 servers  Web, Account, MLE -DNS and DHCP Glasgow and Manchester sites have same facilities as Luton.

Initial Analysis (Luton) Total Static IP: 14  Lab: 8  Department: 6 Total Dynamic IP: 65  Lab: 44  Department: 21 Total IP requirement: 79  Lab: 52  Department: 27 Total Router: 2 Total Switches: 2

Design Tools Two tools to exert the logical illustration of HTA network Microsoft Visio -Visual representation Packet Tracer -Simulation

Packet tracer limitation Inadequate facilitation capacities on implementing-  HSRP or VRRP redundancy protocol  Standby option  Dual LAN cards  Stacking  VPN tunnelling  AFT features

Solution # 1 Figure: Network Solution#1 for HTA

Solution # 2 Figure: Network Solution#2 for HTA

Proposed Solution (#2) Rationale: HTA aimed for their network to support certain areas- Key areas of interest to address-  Availability  Redundancy  Security  Fault Tolerance  High Speed  Isolation Easy Network Management-  stacking Figure: Stacking

Issues (Redundancy) The higher the rate of redundancies, the higher the availability of network. Three types of Redundancies • Configure Network • Configuration of HSRP • AFT

Issues (Security) IPSec VPN  Compulsory tunnelling  Voluntary tunnelling DMZ  Protecting MLE, Web and Accounts Server

Lesson Learned Log Lesson Learned Log # Attributed to What went well What went bad 1 Project Initiation Clear project definition Project initiation point identification 2 Analysis Project break down into three parts Analysing the given specification was well Reduction on the complication of challenging due to fuzzy description (i.e., “ one dedicated computer for the instructor” analysis phase. which actually referred to requirement of a Static IP for that particular node) 3 Packet tracer Simulation was successful Deficiencies on installing many necessary features (i.e., HSRP, stacking etc) 4 Documentation Most parts of the project are covered Vocabulary generalisation and documented ably.
