Performance Objective You will demonstrate knowledge you applied to determine best-fit topology for a wide area network. Assessment task description For this task, you will answer a series of questions on the general topic of determining best-fit topology for a wide area network. Assessment task introduction The project includes two main sections: Procedure and Specifications. You are required to understand the difference between these sections: · Procedure - this section describes all the requirements that are needed to be submitted step by step. You DO NOT need to answer in this part. · Specifications - this section specifies what the student MUST include as part of the project. You are required to insert an object (a document) under each of the requirements. To be deemed ‘Satisfactory’ for this project, all the requirements under the Specifications need to be submitted and completed in accordance with Skills Australia Institute’s ‘Student Handbook’ (under ‘Training and Assessment’ section). Procedure 1. You are required to answer all the questions correctly to be deemed ‘Satisfactory’ for this part of the project. Write your own words for every question. Specifications You must submit the answers to the following questions: Q1: Summarise two (2) typical network topologies that are applicable for each of the following networks. 1 2 Small LAN (less than 20 computers) Large LAN (enterprise network) WAN VPNs VLAN (1 trunk link and 1 access link) WLAN Q2: WANs require the use of both hardware (modems, routers etc) components and software components (routing protocols, switching techniques etc) to be able to transmit information over a large geographical area. Explain the concept of how modems operate including their function in a WAN. Q3: Describe two (2) types of modems. Q4:Explain the purpose of internet protocol (IP) addressing in a WAN and identify the components of an IP addressing scheme. Q5: The internet is the largest packet switched WAN in the world connecting many smaller LANs and metro networks. Explain how packet switching works within a WAN. Q6: Explain how routers operate in packet switched WANs. Q7: Explain the following routed protocols: Internet Protocol (IP) IPX AppleTalk Q8: Explain the following routing protocols used in WAN routers: RIP EIGRP OSPF Q9: Describe how the layer 4 protocol TCP/IP is used in data transmission in a WAN. Q10: Explain the concept of double data rate (DDR). Q11: Microwave and satellite transmission systems make use of electromagnetic spectrum frequencies to transmit information. i) Explain how point to point (P2P) microwave links are used to establish networks, include the frequencies used. ii) Explain the typical components of a star topology C band satellite communication network, include the frequencies used. i) ii) Q12: Explain the difference between Synchronous Transmission and Asynchronous Transmission. Give one (1) example of the application of each in a telecommunications network. Q13: Describe two (2) constraints associated with establishing a WAN, including an explanation of how the constraints affect network design. Q14: Telecommunications has over the years seen a revolution with legacy analogue equipment and networks increasingly being replaced with newer digital technologies. This has seen a sharp rise in the quality and performance of communication services delivered. i) Explain the key features in terms of infrastructure of digital and analogue networks ii) Give two (2) key differences between each. i) ii) Q15: Explain how network audit statistics can be used by a network manager to forecast network growth and plan future network capacity or optimisation. Q16: Explain two (2) considerations for a business when deciding on whether to opt for low or high speed links and give one (1) example of each type of network. Q17: Explain two (2) considerations in terms of the factors affecting the choice of routing protocols to be configured on enterprise or customer edge equipment when setting up a WAN. Q18: Network reliability is one of the most critical measures of the quality of a WAN. i) Explain two (2) important factors to consider selecting or creating redundancy paths for a private enterprise WAN ii) Give one (1) example of a legislative reliability requirement for public networks. i) ii) Q19: Describe how response time and reliability affect businesses in a WAN such as the internet. Q20: Explain two (2) security considerations every business must make when connecting their network or systems to a public WAN such as the internet. Q21: Network management systems allow ISPs and businesses to monitor and analyse their network traffic load and traffic flow patterns. Explain why it is important to continually monitor, measure and analyse traffic load and to analyse and assess network traffic flow patterns. Q22: Explain why it is important to assess the type of network users and expected network applications when establishing a WAN. Q23: i)Describe how a business scope of operation affects how the business sets up their WAN. ii)Give an example of two (2) types of business operations that would require two completely different types of WAN setups. i) ii) This is the end of the document Document Name: ICTNWK517 AT1 Knowledge Questions RTO Code: 52010 CRICOS Code: 03548F Version: 1.1 Approved on: 02 Oct 2020 Review Date: 02 Oct 2022 Page 1 of 1
