Cisco Threaded Case Study

Threaded Case Study Introduction

The Virtual Education Action Zone (VEAZ) Project

This (TCS) Threaded Case Study was put together as part of our CCNA Network Academy Course.

The objective of the threaded case study is to produce a portion of the design for an Enterprise Wide network to be implemented across several educational sites in the South East of England. This enterprise network is known as the Virtual Education Action Zone or VEAZ. Each VEAZ site will contain a Local Area Network (LAN) or networks. These will be interconnected as a Wide Area Network (WAN) to form the Action Zone!

This case study focuses on the Greensward College site within VEAZ chosen by the authors to act as the Primary Site.

Case Study Presentation

The design brief requires the case study to be presented as web pages. The URL is: http://www.nikmakris.com/cisco_tcs/

Case Study Requirements

Within VEAZ the routed protocols to be supported are TCP/IP and Novell IPX. The routing protocol will be IGRP.

A single Class B IP address, 156.1.0.0, has been as allocated to the VEAZ project. A suitable addressing scheme is to be devised accommodating the subnetting and host requirements of the Enterprise. Initially three workgroups per site are required - Administration, Curriculum (student) and Server. Restricted access across workgroups is required.

Assumptions

As VEAZ is a collection of networks under a common administration sharing a common routing strategy the assumption has been made that the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) has allocated an Autonomous System (AS) number. 10 will be used as the AS number in this threaded case study.
