entry 3 networking Project

As a base to my project I have made a basic design of a stimulation.
at current i have started working on my hours and project budget to keep my project at the right stage it is only a  12 week project time at 150 hours total estimated time. I have worked out my basic timeline on form of a Gantt chart. This project in includes both prior learned knowledge and to be done research. This involves secure access to the network and connectivity to server form internal and external to the network
as in the brief.

Second entry Semester 2 Networking project

The requirement are to design a network suitable for a institute with 2 locations Central and Satellite.
central has one campus, satellite has 2 campuses. Central Is required to run IPV6 if possible. All work is simulation on Packet Tracer.
So far I have begun a budget and to design the exact implementation of all the other requirement of the project I have begun designing Central as it maybe IPV6 and is smaller to test what functions are possible on packet tracer. At this time is more a focus on budget and estimated schedule of the project as it is the second week.

First entry semester 2 Networking project / project brief




Today I got the Outline for my project from my supervisor
To begin with there is only a general outline of the project given.
It will be a worth while challenge to put my knowledge of CCNA into practice.
I have begun the basic design structure on the project.
All of my project is done on packet tracer. This is a project based on real specification for a network.


My Project brief is as follows as given by my Supervisor

A Network Design for an Institute of technology

There are to be 2 sites, Central and Satellite. The Satellite site has 2 campuses, North and South.
The sites and campuses are interconnected with Frame Relay Technology.

Over all each site is to provide connectivity to admin staff, Academic staff and students

These are the requirement both sites should have

Staff are supplied with laptops, and have a desk in a staff room.
IP phones should be available for staff and admin users.
Traffic between site and campuses should be encrypted whenever possible.
IPv6 should be used on the Central site if the equipment supports it. 
The network should be protected by a firewall, and an IPS should be set up.
Extension:
Authentication of network users should be considered, if the simulation software allows it


Sites:

Centrals Requirements:

1 building of 8 floors, 30 classes, 2 admin offices
Access to the network:
     wired for Admin staff (10 users for each office)
     Wireless for Academic Staff and Students

Satellite Requirements :

   South Campus
5 buildings of 5 floors each, 1 office per building
Access to the network:
     wired for Admin staff (3 users for each office)
      Wireless for Academic Staff and Students

  North campus
  6 buildings of 3 floors each, 1 office per building
  Access to the network:
   wired for Admin staff (2 users for each office)
   Wireless for Academic Staff and Students
   1 network admin building with POP
   5 admin users


Servers required:
1 web server to be accessed by students and staff, from inside or outside the network
1 web server specific for staff (admin and academic)
1 video server (QoS?)

All of this is a general outline on what the project should have
