Task
This assessment aims to develop and gauge student understanding of the
key topics covered so far by answering the following questions. Answering these
questions will help you build some understanding for the next assessment item
as well as for the entire subject. It is expected that answers to the
assignment questions be succinct (i.e. precise and concise) with all sources of
information fully referenced as per APA referencing style. You have to
reference the text book and any additional material you have used in your
answers.
Note that the guide for APA referencing is provided in the resources
section of Interact site of this subject.
Answers MUST be written in your own words. No marks will be awarded for
any answer that contains more than 10% direct quote (referenced or
unreferenced). One or two sentence answers will be too short and only receive
low marks. Answers longer than 1.5 pages (12 point font, single line spacing) may
incur a penalty if too much non-relevant information is stated. For
mathematical questions it is expected that you show intermediate steps of your
working. Just stating the correct solution will result in low marks, on the
other hand if the working is correct and you only made minor mistakes, you will
still be awarded marks, even though the final answer is wrong.

This is a practical assessment and will enhance and test your practical
skills related to the subject topic. You are required to set up a simple
network using minimum three PCs and minimum two routers, or use simulation software
to set up the same network.
To complete this assessment you are expected to refer to information
beyond the text book. This assignment is open; in that you are free to choose
the devices or software you use to complete the specified tasks. Students are
expected to accomplish this task by utilising the necessary commands discussed
in lectures and also described in the prescribed text book.
There are
numerous web sites available that discuss Linux networking. You are expected to
list your sources of information for the different tasks. When completing this
project, you may encounter errors or experience difficulties getting your setup
to work. If this occurs, your challenge is to analyse why they happen and
report on how you solved the problems you encountered.
Additional
information will be provided for technology options to use in creating this lab
closer to the assessment due date.
Task 1 - Setting up a Network
You are
required to set up a network consisting of PCs, routers and servers. You need
to configure
routing between routers (minimum two routers required). The routers will
have multiple network
interfaces. The PC (client) will be connected to one of the router's
interfaces and other PCs (servers)
will be connected to the second router's interface.
Client <--> Router <--> Router <--> Server(s)
Setup separate server for each application/service. Each side of the
router will be in its own LAN (or WAN) segment and should have a different
network address, use ONLY private IP address ranges to design this network.
Perform
the following activities and support your workings with screenshots [10 marks]:
1. Configure the PC, Server and Router interfaces with appropriate network
addressing;
2. Configure routing (IP packet forwarding) on the routers;
3. On the client ping the client's own network interface, then the local
router gateway interface, then the remote router interface, then the server;
4. Use the traceroute command from the client to the server. Include
results of the traceroute in your submission.
Task 2 - Configuring Network Services
Using the same network topology that you have setup in Task 1, perform
the following additional activities [15 marks]:
1. DHCP: Configure DHCP on the server and show that the client PC has
successfully received an IP Address
and other network parameters (default router, netmask, DNS) using DHCP;
2. WEB Server: Configure a WEB server on dedicated machine, with URL as www.YOUR NAME.csu.edu.au
3. DNS: Configure a DNS Server on the server device and demonstrate that
forward and reverse DNS are working
from the client PC; test DNS Server by browsing www.YOUR NAME.csu.edu.au from
client PC, DNS must resolve this URL to IP address of WEB Server
4. Firewall: Configure traffic filtering on the router to block TCP traffic only
between one of the client PC and WEB
Servers, and provide evidence of such traffic filtering.
A series
of screen shots with commentary on each of the required tasks is to be
submitted. The submission must include a comprehensive explanation of each task
and all the commands used along with the output (or final result) in report
format.

University
Answer Booklets (2 x 12 page),
General Purpose Answer Sheet GPAS
Material required by the
student
Writing equipment e.g. a 2B
pencil, a pen and an eraser.
Basic calculator (not programmable calculator ) is allowed . I-pads,
other hand-held computers (and/or printer type) are not acceptable as
calculators.
Assessment Information
Learning materials
Details of learning materials that support your success in this subject
can be found in the Interact2 Subject Site.
Referencing
Referencing is an important component of academic work. All assessment
tasks should be appropriately referenced. The specific details of the
referencing requirements are included in each assessment task description. Get referencing style guides and help (http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu) to use
for your assessments.
Plagiarism
CSU treats plagiarism seriously.
We may use Turnitin to check your submitted work for plagiarism.
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu/checking)
in your assessments before
submission.
How to apply for special
consideration
Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if
you suffer misadventure or extenuating circumstances during the session
(including the examination period) which prevents you from meeting acceptable
standards or deadlines. Find the form on the Student Portal Special Consideration, Misadventure, Advice and Appeals (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/academic-advice) page.
Extensions
Assessments should be received by
the University no later than the due date.
1.
Extensions cannot be granted for on-line tests, as these have to be done
within a specific time frame, after which the answers are released to the class
automatically.
2.
Computer problems (such as the speed of your computer and the time it
may take you to upload assignments onto Turnitin) and normal work-related pressures and family commitments do not constitute sufficient reasons for the granting
of extensions.
3.
If it becomes obvious that you
are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time because of an
unavoidable problem, you must submit
your request for an extension, prior to
the due date, either by writing (email is acceptable) to your lecturer or
via the Request for
Charles
Sturt University Subject Outline
ITC542 201830 SM I-6 February 2018-Version 1 Page 17
of 20
Special Consideration form. You are encouraged to make requests via
email (especially for urgent requests), since the processing time for
applications made through the online form can be a few days. Requests for
extensions will not be granted on or after the due date so you must make sure
that any extension is requested prior to the day on which the assignment is
due.You are expected to do all you can to meet assignment deadlines. Work and
family-related pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the
granting of extensions or incomplete grades.
4.
If you apply for an extension,
you may be asked to email your coordinator on what you have done so far on the
assignment.
5.
You must be able to provide
documentary evidence (such as a certificate from a doctor or counsellor)
justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable - but please note
that if the circumstances giving rise to the request for an extension arise on
a day when you cannot get documentary evidence, you must still apply for the
extension before the due date and submit the documentary evidence afterwards.
6.
Given the tight deadlines
involved in returning assignments to students, the maximum extension granted
generally will be seven (7) days from the due date.
7.
Assignments received more than 10 days after the due date or extension
date will not be marked unless the staff member decides otherwise. Items received late will be
penalised at 10% of the mark available for the assessment item per day it
is late (see below).
8.
Note that for purposes of
measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00 hrs AEST - so an
assignment received after midnight of the due date will be penalised 10% for
lateness. This rule will be applied to all students uniformly.
Penalties for Late
Submission
The penalty for late submission of an assessment task (without obtaining
the Subject Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be:
10% deduction per day, including
weekends, of the maximum marks allocated
for the assessment task, i.e. 1 day
late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation
would be:
Maximum marks allocated = 20
Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20
and a score of 12/20 becomes 10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the
following Tuesday, then the penalty will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks
in the example above).
Submissions more than 10 days
late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be
accepted for any of the assessments required in this subject.
Online Submission
Assignments should be submitted through TurnItIn. Please meet with your
respective lecturer to enroll in the Turnitin (If you do not receive any email
from Turnitin).
Assessments such as Blogs,
Quizzes and Journals are required to submit in the Interact2.
TurnItIn does not accept Excel
files and PDF files.
Assignment/s must be submitted through Turnitin by midnight (AEST)
according to the date mentioned in the subject outline.

Postal Submission
Under normal circumstances postal submissions will not be accepted for
any of the assessments required.
Hand Delivered Submission
Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be
accepted for any of the assessments required.
Feedback
Feedback for assessment items
will be provided by subject lecturer/s.
Assignment Return
You should normally expect your marked assignment
to be returned to you within 15
working days of the due date, if your assignment was submitted on time.
If you submitted your assignment on time but have not returned by the return
date, you should make enquiries in the first instance to the subject lecturer.
If the subject lecturer is not available, contact Level 1, Reception.
Student Feedback and
Learning Analytics
Evaluation of Subjects
CSU values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to
Subject Experience Surveys (SES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back
anonymously to Subject Coordinators and Heads of Schools to form the basis for
subject enhancement and recognition of excellence in teaching. Schools report
on their evaluation data; highlighting good practice and documenting how
problems have been addressed. You can view a summary of survey results via the
Student Portal SES Results
(https://student.csu.edu.au/study/subject-experience-survey-results) page.
We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience
Surveys. You will be provided with links to your surveys via email when they
open three [3] weeks before the end of session.
