LAB ASSIGNMENT ITT459

ITT459 - DATA COMMUNICATIONS

LABORATORY ASSIGNMENT

Lab Assignment (Packet Tracer .pkt) - 30%

Group Presentation - 20%

OBE: P3 & A3

Course Outcome:

Discuss the existing technologies , communication theories, and formulas used in real-
world scenarios.

Learning Outcomes: Analytic skills (MOE).

The Objectives

By the end of this project, you should be able to

• To demonstrate the concept of Local Area Network (LAN) Design
• To discuss the concept, theory of LAN and IP addressing

The Instructions

Using cisco packet tracer network simulator, you must design and implement a Local
Area Network for a small and medium enterprise (SME). Below are the requirements
of their LAN network.

The LAN comprise of 4 network/subnet:

1. HQ Network
a. Subnet: 192.168.2.0/24
b. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c. Number of Host: 12 (2 Printer, 5 Workstation, 5 Laptop)
d. Printer and Workstation must be connected to “HQ Switch” using Wired
Ethernet
e. Laptop must be connected to network using Wireless Ethernet via
Access Point
LAB ASSIGNMENT ITT459

2. Penang Branch Network

a. Subnet: 192.168.6.0/24
b. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c. Number of Host: 5 (1 Printer, 2 Workstation, 2 Laptop)
d. Printer and Workstation must be connected to “Penang Switch” using
Wired
Ethernet
e. Laptop must be connected to network using Wireless Ethernet via
Access Point

3. Johor Branch Network

a. Subnet: 192.168.8.0/24
b. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c. Number of Host: 6 (1 Printer, 2 Workstation, 3 Laptop)
d. Printer and Workstation must be connected to “Johor Switch” using
Wired Ethernet
e. Laptop must be connected to network using Wireless Ethernet via
Access Point

4. Data Centre Network

a. Subnet: 192.168.10.0 /24
b. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c. Number of Server Host: 5
d. The servers must host HTTP, HTTPS and FTP services
e. All servers must be connected to “Data Center Switch” using Wired
Gigabit Ethernet Port.

All the networks must be connected to a “HQ Router” (Thus the HQ Router must have
adequate port to connect all network together) and all network and equipment in this
project must be labelled properly.

Project Evaluation

Your project will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

1. Packet Tracer File(Individual) – 30%
2. Presentation (Group) – 20%

Packet Tracer File

You network implementation must fulfilled all the requirement which has been stated
above. After you have completed the network implementation on packet tracer, please
save your network project to a packet tracer file(.pkt) for submission.
