ASSESSMENT TASKS
ICTNWK518 Design an enterprise wireless

local area network
Assessment Summary
Read all the instructions below before attempting the assessment task. Assessment tasks are tools used
to determine if you have the knowledge and skills to complete tasks to industry standards within the
workplace. Your trainer/assessor will help you throughout this task and it is your responsibility to
provide enough evidence to justify a competent decision by the trainer/assessor. If you do not
understand the questions or what is required, ask your trainer/assessor for assistance. For group
assessments, all students are to contribute to the assessment tasks. You are allowed to work in groups
up to a maximum of four people. You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must
have a coversheet attached. If you think you do not have enough time to complete the tasks by the due
date, discuss with the trainer/assessor the reasons of why you cannot submit on time.
Writing your responses
When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can draw a
conclusion that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. Handwritten
answers must be written in blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that your project has a
title page, table of contents, page numbers, reference list, ensuring that your answers thoroughly match
the questions asked. Answer all questions in your own words to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying
someone else’s work or ideas and saying that it your own work. Sources of work must be properly
referenced, outlining the source of your ideas. Penalties may include having to resubmit the assessment
task again, repeating the Unit of competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from Abbey Business
College.
Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet
Satisfactory (NYS). If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a
competent result with this unit, all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your
trainer/assessor will provide feedback to you on each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve
a Satisfactory (S) result. When all tasks are marked as Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of
Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will be marked Not Yet Competent (NYC). Assessments
submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may not be accepted, and you may have to a
resubmission fee.

Cisco Aironet 1140 Cisco LAP is part of the Cisco Unified Wireless $597 6 $3,582
Series Access Point Network architecture. A LAP is an AP that is
designed to be connected to a wireless LAN
(WLAN) controller (WLC). The LAP provides
dual band support for IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,
and 802.11g and simultaneous air monitoring for
dynamic, real-time radio frequency (RF)
management. In addition, Cisco LAPs handle
time-sensitive functions, such as Layer 2
encryption, that enable Cisco WLANs to
securely support voice, video, and data
applications.
Part number:
AIR-LAP1142NCK9-RF APs are “lightweight,” which means that they
cannot act independently of a wireless LAN
controller (WLC). The WLC manages the AP
configurations and firmware. The APs are “zero
touch” deployed, and individual configuration of
APs is not necessary. The APs are also
lightweight in the sense that they handle only
real-time MAC functionality. The APs leave all
the non-real-time MAC functionality to be
processed by the WLC. This architecture is
referred to as the “split MAC” architecture.
RF Excellence
The 1140 Series delivers industry-leading
performance for secure and reliable wireless
connections. Enterprise-class silicon and
optimized radios deliver a robust mobility
experience using Cisco M-Drive technology,
which includes:
● ClientLink improves reliability and coverage
for legacy clients
● BandSelect improves 5-GHz client
connections in mixed client environments
● VideoStream uses multicast to improve rich-
media applications
It can scale up to 18,000 access points with full
Layer 3 mobility across central or remote
locations on the enterprise campus, in branch
offices, and at remote sites. The Cisco Unified
Wireless Network is the industry’s most flexible,
resilient, and scalable architecture, delivering
secure access to mobility services and
applications and offering the lowest total cost of
ownership and investment protection by
integrating seamlessly with the existing wired
network.

Topology:
Star topology: every node in the network is directly connected to one central hub via coaxial,
twisted-pair, or fiber-optic cable. Acting as a server, this central node manages data transmission
and functions as a repeater, which helps prevent data loss.
Each of the nodes is independently connected to the central hub, which prevents that if one go
down, the rest of the network will continue functioning unaffected, making the star topology a stable
and secure network layout.
Also, allows devices to be added, removed, and modified without taking the entire network offline.
Its structure uses little cabling to fully connect the network and the simplicity of the network design
makes the management easier for administrators.
