Task 1 (15 marks)
• The information about the network u have collected through the site survey. The more details about the network your team can obtain the higher marks u will get. At the minimum, your team should obtain the following information:
I. The estimated number of network users: students need to work out the number from the task description and provided document. (1 mark)
II. Key applicatins and services: identify key network and application services provided by the current network (1mark).
III. IP addressing scheme: use tools like ipconfig, tracert and wireshark to work out the IP addressing scheme of the network. Obtain information like IP subnets/masks, IP addresses of the gateways, DNS servers, Web servers, Email servers, DHCP servers. ( 5 marks)
IV. High level logical topology of the network: draw the logical topology o the network based on obtained information. ( 3 marks)
V. Wi-Fi channels and overall area of coverage: perform wireless site survey for the current wireless network using EKAHAU HEATMAPER tool. You can ask the local tutor for the floor plan or draw the plan yourself using tool such as draw.io. (5 mark)
