LO3: Design efficient networked systems.
  Chapter 15: design a network. Networking: A Beginner’s Guide
* Bandwidth: Expected average load; anticipated peak load; local internet availability; cost constraints,
throughput.
* Users: Quality expectations, concept of system growth.
* Networking services and applications: DHCP; static vs dynamic IP addressing, reservations, scopes, leases,
options (DNS servers, Suffixes), IP helper, DHCP relay, DNS records, Dynamic DNS.
* Communications: Suited to devices, suited to users, supportive of lifestyle desires, supportive of commercial
requirements, security requirements, quality of service needs.
* Scalable: Able to support device growth, able to support addition of communication devices, able to cope with
bandwidth use and trend changes, protocol utilization, addressing.
* Selection of components: Supporting infrastructure needs; supporting connectivity requirements.
LO4: Implement and diagnose networked systems.
* Devices: Installation of communication devices, allocation of addresses, local client configuration, server
configuration, server installation, security considerations.
* Verification of configuration and connectivity: Installation of internet work communication medium, ping,
extended ping, traceroute, telnet, SSH.
* System monitoring: Utilization, bandwidth needs, monitoring user productivity and security of the system.
* Maintenance schedule: Backups, upgrades, security, auditing.
* Diagnose and resolve layer 1 problems: Framing, CRC, Runts, Giants, Dropped packets, late collisions, Input /
Output errors.
* Policy review.
* Bandwidth, resource availability.
Passing Criteria.
P5 Provide a logical/physical design of the networked system with clear explanation and addressing table

 Explain the difference between logical and physical design

 Discuss and explain the USER Requirement for the design
 Provide a logical design of the network base on user requirement
 Provide a physical design of the network based on user requirement
 Provide addressing table for the network you design.

P6 Evaluate the design to meet the requirements.

 Provide test plan (Screen shot of evidence of test such as ping test – connectivity test etc.)
 Evaluate the design of the network
o Show limitation of your design based on the user requirement and the strength
o What advice and solution would you provide to the network for efficiency and usage.

P7 Implement a networked system based on a prepared design.

 Show evidence of a working network you’ve design

 Show the implemented system

P8 Document and analyze test results against expected results.

 Provide a step by step configuration of network devices in the network (Choose a device in the network and provide all
the steps for configuration)
 Test results against test plans

M3 Install and configure network services and applications on your choice.

  List steps of the process of installing and configuring network and application selected in part M2. For example:
DHCP Server, Web Server DNS Server,, Mail Server…

 Show ra các bước cấu hình các dịch vụ mạng, các ứng dụng đã chọn ở phần M2

M4 Recommend potential enhancements for the networked systems.

 Analyze the drawbacks of the current system and provide recommendations for enhancement for the network system
in the future. For example:
o The system hasn't had a backup internet line. If the current internet line is broken, all company’s activities will be
stopped therefore there should be a backup internet service from another supplier.
o There is no firewall device to control input and output data in order to protect the company’ internal service
from the attach of hackers.
o There is no data backup system
o There is no Network Monitoring System

 Phân tích những điểm còn hạn chế của hệ thống hiện tại và đề xuất những cải tiến trong tương lai ví dụ như:
 Hệ thống chưa có đường Internet dự phòng nếu gặp sự cố với đường truyền hiện tại thì mọi hoạt động của cty sẽ bị
ngừng chệ
vì vậy cần có đường internet dự phòng của nhà cung cấp dịch vụ thứ hai
 Chưa có thiết bị Firewall chuyên dụng để kiểm soát dữ liệu vào, ra công ty, bảo vệ các dịch vụ nội bộ khỏi các cuộc tấn
công của hacker
 Chưa có các giải pháp backup dữ liệu
 Chưa có các giải pháp Monitoring System

D2 Design a maintenance schedule to support the networked system

 Design a maintenance plan to support network system. For example, the schedule to maintain the system daily, weekly,
Monthly, yearly
- Thiết kế được một bảng kế hoạch bảo trì hệ thống

+ Hàng ngày

+ Hàng tuần

+ Hàng tháng

+ Hàng quý

D3 Use critical reflection to evaluate own work and justify valid conclusions. (Tự đưa ra những phản hồi đánh giá về
dự án bạn vừa triền khai và giải thích những kết luận của mình về dự án này)

 Advantages and drawbacks of the project you just implemented

 Lesson learnt from implementing this project
 What will you change in the next project to address the current issues ?
 Justify the changes/ no changes if any for the above

 Điểm tốt và không tốt trong dự án bạn vừa triển khai

 Bài học rút ra từ việc triển khải dự án này
 Nhứng yếu tố nào bạn sẽ thay đổi để thực hiện tốt hơn trong dự án tiếp theo
 Giải tại sao bạn lại cần thay đổi/hoặc không thay đổi những yếu tố trên
