You are strongly advisedto start doing this assignment from Week-1 in your study. Leaving yourstarting date to the week before the due date is a very poor strategy for success in the unit. Follow the provided guidelines to help you successfullydirect your efforts.Task DescriptionIn this assignment, you will perform necessary setup to install, configure and troubleshootan SME network.You must successfully implement the network on Packet Tracer (or similar) networksimulation software and perform important steps to manage the network securityconfiguration.In particular, you will complete the following tasks:• Task 1: Install and connect the devices into a network as shown in the diagram.• Task 2: Set up and test the security• Task 3: Network testing and troubleshooting• Task 4: Network documentationWhere a task asks for X or Y use your student number in this wayStudent ID:123456789X = 12 (first 2 numbers) and Y= 89 (last 2 numbers)X+1 = 13, Y+1=90COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 2 of 9ScenarioYou are a junior network administrator and because of your ongoing experience yourmanager has assigned you a new client to assist them setup their new network.The design and requirements have been provided to you in a simple diagram and instructionset.You have been advised of the following criteria:1. Routers and default gateways are always set to the last IP address in the range.2. Switches will always get the second last IP address in the range.3. End devices (servers and workstations etc.) will get an IP address starting at the 50thusable host address.4. Servers will have their MAC address stored on the switch.The following networks will be set up:• DMZ – Used for placing internet facing devices to be able to be reached from theinternet as well as the internal corporate network.• Data Network (DataNet) – used for storing the internal company data that only theinternal corporate users are able to access.• Sydney Network (SydNet) – used by the normal users of the company in the headoffice that are able to access the internet, the internal servers network and the DMZ.There are multiple departments in the head office, and each should not be able tocommunicate with computers in other departments.• Melbourne Network (MelbNet) – is for a remote office that are able to access theDMZ, the DataNet and the internet.Your task is to configure the network in simulation software so that it can be tested beforeit is implemented.You must devise any security options you deem appropriate to meet the requirements andconfigure and document them so they can be used when the network is implemented.COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 3 of 9COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 4 of 9Assignment 1 marking guidelinesThe following are the major assessment criteria of this assignment.Task 1: Network environment setup• Set up the routers, switches and PC’s with the appropriate connections• Perform basic configuration of the devices• Test connectivity• Save the configurations to the devicesTask 2: Security setup and performance• Add the required security including any of the following:o Switch port securityo VLAN’so ACL’s (most likely basic ACL’s)o static or dynamic routingo Save the configurations to the devicesTask 3: Network testing and troubleshooting• Correctly propose the hypothesis to be tested at each step e.g. connectivity betweendevices, security is working to stop X from occurring.• Correctly identify the type of information that should be collected at each step• Test the configuration using correct methodologyYou must document what tests you will carry out, what the test is for and the result.Consider using a table.Task 4: Network DocumentationYou must document your configurations for the devices you set up.• Document the devices including:o Host Devices (PC’s and servers) Name/ID Link technology e.g. Ethernet Port Address e.g. Eth0COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 5 of 9 Physical address e.g. MAC address IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DNSo Network Devices Interface configuration• Name/ID• Link technology e.g. Ethernet• Port address e.g. G0/0/1• Physical address e.g. MAC address• Logical address e.g. IP Address / subnet mask• Security applied Security Configuration• Switch port security• VLANs• ACLs• Routeso Save the configurations to the deviceso Export the configurations (or copy/paste to a text file).Format and PresentationTask 1 and Task 2: Provide your Packet Tracer saved topology in a PKT file.Your files (zipped) must be named in the format:filename = FirstInitialYourLastName_COMP2003_A1.pkt(i.e. FJones_COMP2003_A1.pkt)COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 6 of 9Note: All device names must include your name in the format ofFirstInitialYourLastName (I.e. FJones Router 1)Note: All ACL’s or VLAN’s must include the last 2 digits of your student number in theconfiguration in the second and third place. The last place can be used for consecutivenumbering.In the below screenshot your student number ends in 67.e.g. Your student number ends in 67 so the first basic ACL becomes 2671. The second(2nd) ACL would be 2672 and the fifth (5th) would be 2675. The first 2 will become clearduring class.Task 2 and Task 3: Use the template provided with this assignment for this task.COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 7 of 9 CriteriaMax MarkTask 1: Install and connect the devices6Task 1 – Devices – routers, switches and PC’s & devices connected2Task 1.2 Basic configuration completed2Task 1.3: Connectivity works2Task 2: Set up and test the security13Task 2.1: Switchport security setup3Task 2.2: Sticky mac addresses2Task 2.3: VLAN’s configured2Task 2.4: ACL’s configured3Task 2.5: Routing configures3Task 3: Network testing and troubleshooting4Task 3.1: Identified information to be collected1Task 3.2: Tested configuration1.5Task 3.3: Identified issues and corrected1.5Task 4: Network documentation4Task 4.1: Documented Hosts1Task 4.2: Documented Router2Task 4.3: Documented Switches2Task 4.4: Exported Configurations1Documentation1Professional presentation1TOTAL30 COMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 8 of 9Submission FormatWhen you have completed the assignment, you are required to submit the following:1.

Studentswanting an extension must make a request at least 24 hours before the assessment item isdue and the request must be received in writing at the “Special Consideration” page.Extensions within 24 hours of submission or following the submission deadline will not beCOMP2003 – Securing Networks Assignment 1, 2021_______________________________________________________________________________________________Page 9 of 9granted (unless supported by a doctor’s certificate or where there are exceptionalcircumstances – this will be at unit assessor’s discretion and will be considered on a caseby case basis). Extensions will be for a maximum of 48 hours (longer extensions supportedby a doctor’s certificate or alike will be considered on a case by case basis).Please see the Special Consideration page for more information available athttps://www.scu.edu.au/current-students/student-administration/special-consideration/A penalty of 5% of the total available grade will accrue for each 24-hour period that anassessment item is submitted late. Therefore, an assessment item worth 30 marks will have1.5 marks deducted for every 24-hour period and at the end of 10 days will receive amaximum of 15 marks or 50%.Students who fail to submit following the guidelines in this Unit Information Guide will bedeemed to have not submitted the assessment item and the above penalty will be applieduntil the specified submission guidelines are followed.Marks and FeedbackAll assessment materials submitted during the semester will normally be marked andreturned within two weeks of the required date of submission (provided that the assessmentmaterials have been submitted by the due date).Marks will be made available to each student via the MySCU Grade book.
