Purpose
The purpose of this project is to provide an opportunity for
students to apply network administration and design
competencies gained throughout this course.
Deliverables
Please choose ANY FOUR options from the following five
options and complete the report for your chosen four options
(OPTION 1 is MANDATORY).
Option 1: Network Design Case (100 points)
Option 2: Windows Security Firewall (33.33 points)
Option 3: Configuring OSPF Routing (33.33 points)
Option 4: Configuring EIGRP Routing (33.33 points)

Option 1: Network Design Case
Scenario
Consider that the prevailing market conditions have made it
possible for our firm to expand our current operations. I have
presented several options to our board of directors and they are
eager to proceed with an expansion except for one condition.
The board feels that our current telecommunications
infrastructure hinders our business operations and that it is
imperative to design a new voice and data infrastructure to
facilitate the planned expansion. The board is prepared to
advocate any prudent expenditure necessary to implement a new
infrastructure at the upcoming stockholder’s meeting.

2. As you know, our firm is headquartered in San Antonio where
we occupy the first and third floor of a large, but somewhat
antiquated building. Each floor of the building measures 400 ft.
by 250 ft. We currently have 52 Pentium-based PC’s located on
the third floor to meet the needs of our accounting, billing, and
phone sales departments. The first floor contains 17 Pentium-
based computers and six Apple PowerMacs used by
management, our receptionist, walk-in sales staff, and our
adjusters. We currently have a 10Base2 network that is used to
connect some, but not all, of our existing systems. The previous
network manager told us the remaining systems could not be
networked due to the 10Base2 architecture. We also have
smaller offices in Austin, Houston, and Corpus Christi. These
offices generally have 4 to 6 Pentium or Apple-based
computers. The computers in these locations are not currently
networked.
Our immediate expansion plans, if approved by the
shareholders, include opening a second office in Houston, two
offices in Dallas and an office in El Paso. These offices will be
similar to the existing small offices operated in Austin, Houston
and Corpus Christi. My vision for the new telecommunications
network includes having all of the existing and proposed offices
connected together in a seamless, secure manner. All of the
computers in all of the offices should be connected.
Deliverables:
· I need to understand whether or not we can continue to build
on our current network and why. I also need to know what we
should use to replace it if we need to do so.
· I see the network as consisting of two primary parts, the
networks within each facility and the network that connects the
various facilities together. Please provide diagrams that
illustrate how these networks will look after the new
infrastructure rollout (Also include a generic diagram for one of
the branch offices).
· I will require a detailed cost proposal for both the installation

3. and first year’s operating cost associated with the entire
proposed infrastructure. You will need to consider all
equipment and wiring costs, the cost for the proposed services
from the phone companies and provide the source for your
costing information (Excluding labor costs).
· Discuss the feasibility of implementing an IPv6 protocol along
with our new infrastructure, and the business ramifications of
implementing IPv6 at this time.
· Describe how security will be maintained for data, particularly
for data being transmitted between offices and for wireless
connectivity.
· Discuss how you will implement a network that will allow
secure wireless communications between computers and other
resources, including Internet access (Be sure to discuss steps for
configuring wireless access points and wireless network adapter
with various security features including WPS, WEP, WPA2,
etc.).
Option 2: Windows Security Firewall
The overall objective of this laboratory exercise is to gain
experience with the basic steps for configuring a personal
firewall on Windows operating system (say Windows 7). In this
exercise you will learn to create an inbound firewall rule and
outbound firewall rule. The inbound firewall rule will only
allow a ping packet from server (S1). The outbound firewall
rule will block any web traffic from computer PC1 and
computer PC2. Configure the computers to operate in the
network using the IP addresses, subnet mask, and gateway
address specified in Table 1. You will gain an understanding of

4. the following:
1. Configure the Windows firewall.
2. Configure the Windows advanced firewall features.
3. Specific protocols and their network ports

5. Detailed Lab Steps
Task #1
1. Assume that you have already configured the IP addresses for
computers PC1 and PC2, for Server, S1 and for router R1 (from
previous labs).
2. In the next step, you are to make sure that the Windows
firewall is enabled. List the step sequence required to verify
the firewall status and to enable the firewall.
3. List the command sequence and steps required to create a
new inbound firewall rule called “Ping Request” to allow only
server S1 to ping PC1 and PC2. Make sure the correct protocol
is selected for Ping.
4. If you have to verify the firewall rule “Ping Request” by
initiating the Ping from S1 to PC1 and PC2, and then initiating
ping from PC1 to PC2 and vice versa, explain which ping
results of these ping request will pass and which will fail.
5. List the command sequence and steps required to create a
new outbound firewall rule called “Web Filtering”. This rule is

6. to block any web traffic initiated from PC1 and PC2. Be sure to
block both unsecure and secure web traffic. Make sure the
correct protocol and its associated ports are selected for web
traffic. Explain the expected result if you have to initiate any
web session from PC1 and PC2.
