Assessment Title

Assignment 1 – Detailed design of a modern network for a multi –site resort

Unit Learning Outcomes covered in This assessment

The purpose of this assignment is to design and develop NETWORK requirements, which can be implemented with LAN/WLAN/WAN services for a multi-site hotel and resort based at Hamilton Island with indoor and outdoor facilities. The design of network and service must be specific so that it can be used for a purpose of a quotation and proposal from vendors and internet service providers. After the assignment, students are expected to learn not only the knowledge and current technical aspects of advanced networking but also research, data collection, analysis and writing skills, which are very important and helpful. The following ULOs: a. Model and critically compare LAN and WAN network technologies, topologies and implementation; b. Configure, test and troubleshoot various network devices including routers and switches c. Evaluate, different WAN protocols; such as HDLC, PPP, Frame Relay, DHCP, ISDN, NAT and PAT in a network environment, and configure, verify, troubleshoot related equipment;

Assignment Description:

Research and propose a modern network for a multi (five) site island resort with internet and wireless

access. Details description is as under. 60 marks

Description:

Australia’s Hamilton Island Requires Improved Connectivity with Complete High-Speed Internet Access

Solution

ABOUT HAMILTON ISLAND

Hamilton Island is located off the northeastern coast of Australia in the Great Barrier Reef. With its own

airport, extensive convention and exhibition space, and a range of retail shops and luxury hotels/resorts,

Hamilton Island is a popular destination for tourists and business travelers alike.

Australia’s Hamilton Island is seeking facilities for improves connectivity with complete High-Speed Internet

Access solution and a fast and improved connection to Internet access gateway.

CHALLENGES

 With a variety of venues (multiple sites i.e. Hotel, Restaurant, Exhibition space, shopping area and

outdoor sports and swimming venue) spread out over a wide area, Hamilton Island needed a high-speed

Internet access (HSIA) solution that could provide quality Internet access for both guests and staff across

the entire island.

 The present HSIA solution is not capable to handle the demand for bandwidth, especially during peak

times of use, resulting in a slow Internet connection and dissatisfied guests.

 Hamilton Island required additional controls to manage appropriate staff access to the Internet

networks.

REQUIRED RESULTS A significant improvement is required in the following facilities/services;  Quality of Service  Productivity  Scalability  Roaming  Analytics
