Technical Case study
Marking Scheme & important notes on Network Engineering Design & Problem Solving
For the research and development phase of the case study, the students are expected to work in groups. Starting on week 2 students will be split into groups and form a consultancy team consisting of 3 students. One will be assigned as a consultant team leader (this role passes to the next team member tri-weekly to give the opportunity to all members to gain experience in managing the team).
The lead consultant will organise weekly team meetings where members will be assigned research and design tasks and discuss their progress. Every week they will formulate an action plan for the following week. The consultant team will keep a log record of the weekly meetings. This process will be observed by the supervisory team and minutes countersigned by the lecturer. At the end of each tenure (3weeks) the minutes will be uploaded on weblearn by the Consultant team/group leader.

The following are the basis of what is expected to be seen in your report and logbook . Please note, these are just indicatives and you may wish to include more sections or record more activities in your report and logbook. Students are advised to record any activities and progress towards the completion of their case study in their logbook. The tri-weekly progress of their case study will be monitored and countersigned by their supervisor. Please note that there are two separate scenarios which need to be completed within case study 1 and 2.
For Ethical issues, problem solving and design process please refer to Appendix (A) "Generic Engineering Design Process and Problem Solving" and strictly follow those guidelines that are applicable to your case studies that covers the area of Network Engineering Design Process and Problem Solving.
Please also consider the following important points and try to address them as much as possible within your case studies.
1. System Approach to designing (Black box, sub-blocks, etc),
2. Design Constraints,
3. More than one method of solutions. Performance analysis of each,
4. Social and Economical issues, Costing and Cost-drivers,
5. Ethical issues related to the final product (some examples are in Appendix (A)) 6. Designer management roles and responsibilities,
7. Health & Safety where applicable (For equipment which may be hazardous, please provide a clear guidelines in your report).
Please note that case study will be marked individually. Subject to completion of the case study according to the following guidelines and Appendix (A), the actual mark will be moderated based on successful completion of series of chapter tests that are covering the knowledge and experience used to complete these case studies and presence of three reports of tri-weekly minutes. The breakdown of final marks has shown below:
Case Study 1 EIGRP
Topology Diagram
Instructions
Plan, design a physical topology and implement the complex International Travel Agency (ITA) EIGRP network based on the above diagram and
following specifications. Implement the design on the lab set of routers. Verify that all configurations are operational and functioning according to the guidelines.
Scenario
The ITA needs its core network set up with EIGRP with the following specifications. It has also recently acquired Local Travel Agency, which was running OSPF. Use the addressing scheme shown in the diagram.
The ITA core network is running EIGRP in AS 1.
Summarize the loopback interfaces on R2 with the best possible summary to the other EIGRP routers.
Loopback 192 on R3 represents a connection to the Internet. Originate a default route into EIGRP from R3.
The Local Travel Agency router, R4, needs to communicate with the ITA core via OSPF area 0.
Redistribute OSPF into EIGRP. Originate a default route into the OSPF process from R3.
Configure R2 to act as a DHCP server on the Ethernet subnet between R2 and R3.
