Assignment Learning Outcomes No Learning Outcomes 1. Explain the operation of current LAN & WAN standards, and explain and apply TCP/IP and associated protocols and applications. 2. Explain the operation of network management and network security software and hardware. 3. Explain the operation of programming language translator software. 4. Explain the operation of hardware used in multimedia computer systems and the facilities these provide to multimedia systems. Assignment Overview Design a complete network of any medium level organization which is based on the internal & external level networking with a good security system. Make a research on protocol/device/technology that could enhance the management and/or security in a network. Research part should also cover the type of network, requirement of IP address, their distribution with proper sub netting for the selected organization. Your discussion could cover (but need not be limited to) the following areas - description of the protocol/device/technology, core components of the protocol/device/technology and how it works, strengths, weaknesses and the relationship between the selected protocol/device/technology and network management and/or security. Use any suitable programming language and/or multimedia tool to create a simple demonstration of how the selected protocol/device/technology works in relation to network management and/or security. Document the programming language and its translator or multimedia tool that was used to create your product
