This document provides instructions for a networking assignment that involves designing a local area network (LAN) for two offices of a financial services company. It includes links to online courses and resources about network design concepts. The assignment tasks the student to analyze the network needs of the two offices based on a conversation transcript, use network scanning and mapping tools to gain insights, and prepare a LAN design in Visio using the provided service requests.

2. Background: Hugh Generic of Generic Financial Services has
hired XYZ Systems Consulting to help with the LAN design of
two offices. Mary Prince of XYZ Systems Consulting met with
Hugh Generic and a transcript of their conversation can be
found in the student download section on the right within the
XYZ Systems Consulting folder.
Resources:
To gain additional insight on how to analyze network needs
and possible vulnerabilities, download and use NMap which
also contains Zenmap GUI as the graphical interface to show
scan results. NMap is a free open source tool used to gain
additional information on how to review network traffic and
determine additional hosts, operating systems being used, scan
ports, and application versions used on a network. The
instructions for use can be downloaded using the link under
the materials section on the right. Be sure to follow these
instructions and then review the types of information provided.
Assignment:
Determine how use of this tool can be used to make decisions
and provide the modification needed for this LAN Design
project.
Prepare a LAN design using Visio®
for service request SR-mf-
005 & SR-mf-007.
