Network Modification Brief Project

Overview

Organizations grow, change, and evolve frequently, so it is important for the IT department to scale to the needs of the organization. As your organization changes, your requirements will change with growth and innovations in technology. It’s common to see scalability problems with organizational growth as well. This is why cybersecurity professionals should be aware of these issues to help build their strategic thinking skills. There is a constant need in today’s world to competitively keep up with technology and the need for connectivity.

For this project (due in Module Six), you will create a network modification brief consisting of a network reconfiguration demonstrated by an export of your updated network diagram and multiple screenshots, as well as a written explanation of the network segregation. The audience for this brief is your IT department manager. This report is an authentic demonstration of the related course competencies because you will be asked to implement and reconfigure common network devices in response to the scalability of network infrastructure.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competencies:

• Implement IP addressing and supporting services to meet architectural requirements
• Configure common network functions and devices

Scenario

Your instructor will post a real-world scenario that includes the specifications on which your work will be based. You will also be provided with a Packet Tracer native file (.pkt) that you will import into the Packet Tracer application to use as the base diagram for your network. You will use the scenario and the provided Packet Tracer lab environment to do your work.***THE SCENARIO IS ATTACHED BELOW***

Prompt

For your project, use the provided Packet Tracer (.pkt) file, which mirrors the configuration of the current network. This file includes the old wireless router, a tablet and smartphone, and the two cameras that you will be adding as part of the reconfiguration of the network. Make sure you label each device with its IP address so that it’s visible for your screenshots.

Specifically, you must address the critical elementslisted below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course competency, shown in brackets.

1. Network ReconfigurationReconfigure the network in the file provided. Then submit a PNG or PDF file of your updated network diagram and show screenshot evidence that you have met the project requirements for the following critical elements:Properly configure the VLAN for guest and video connections to meet the project requirements. Submit a screenshot of the VLAN table.Properly configure the guest wireless network to meet the project requirements. Submit a screenshot of the wireless settings for the wireless router.Make sure that devices are connected to the guest wireless network to meet the project requirements. IP addresses for the devices should be noted in the network diagram PNG or PDF.Make sure that cameras are connected to the video network to meet the project requirements. IP addresses for the cameras should be noted in the network diagram PNG or PDF.Make sure that guest and video networks are properly segmented. Submit screenshots of ping tests that prove you have met this project requirement.
2. Explanation of Network SegregationArticulate your response to the questions below.Describe how you segmented network traffic to meet the project requirements for guest and video connections.Explain how you considered the scalability of the guest wireless network in order to meet the project requirements (IP addressing, leasing, etc.).

What to Submit

The written portion of your submission should be 2 to 3 pages in length (in addition to your updated network diagram and required screenshots) and should be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. You must also submit your Packet Tracer file. Use filenames that include the course code, the assignment title, and your name—for example, CYB_100_Project_One_Neo_Anderson.docx.

CYB 210 Project One Scenario One
Use the scenario below to address the critical elements outlined in the prompt.
You are a network administrator working at the department of motor vehicles. You are tasked with adding a free guest
wireless internet for customers to use while they wait for services. You are also tasked with improving the physical
security of the office by installing cameras that monitor the front desk and the waiting area.
Guest Wireless Requirements
 Use an old wireless router from the equipment closet.
 Configure the wireless router for DHCP.
 Consider scalability options for DHCP for the guest wireless. For the guest network, start with the IP address
192.168.70.10. Assume there will be no more than 70 guests for no more than 4 hours.
 No authentication will be set; this guest wireless will be open and unencrypted.
 The guest network must be segmented from internal network traffic through its own VLAN. This is VLAN 70 with
the name “Guest” on your network diagram.
 Two devices must be connected to your wireless network to demonstrate functionality.
Camera Requirements
 The video network must be segmented from internal network traffic through its own VLAN. Name this “VLAN
80” with the name “Video” on your network diagram.
 Two cameras must be connected to your network to demonstrate functionality.
Your current network has the following characteristics:
 Data traffic for the office is on VLAN 50 with the name “Data.”
 Voice traffic for the office is on VLAN 150 with the name “Voice” and is reserved for future use.
Here is a diagram of the current network.
