As part of your weekly tasks, you will be reviewing and answering some questions based on what you learned going through LabSim for Network Pro (also covers Network+) Certification Training modules. Th

Network Design and Implementation Strategy Document

For the assignments in this course you will be developing a  comprehensive Network Design and Implementation Strategy document which  is the final Key Assignment deliverable.

Throughout this course, you will be working on several aspects of  networking needs analysis and design that will result in a complete  Network Design and Implementation Strategy document for a scenario  organization of your choosing. You will work extensively with the  concepts of good networking practices in this project. Additional  information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be  provided in the assignment description for that project.

Target Organization Selection

The first step will be to select a scenario organization as the  target for your network design and implementation strategy. This  scenario organization will be used as the basis for each of the  assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following  guidelines:

• Nontrivial: The selected organization should be  large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the networking principles  in the course assignments.
• Domain knowledge: You should be familiar  enough with the organization to allow focus on the assignment tasks  without significant time required for domain education.
• Accessibility: You should have good access to  the people and other information related to the organization because  this will be an important part of the process.

Select a scenario organization that fits these requirements and  submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with  the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the  first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to  submit this proposal and what notification will be given for approval.

Assignment Guidelines:

For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a  comprehensive Network Design and Implementation Strategy document. Your  first task in this process will be to select an organization to use as  the basis of your plan. You will also create the shell document for the  final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit.  As you proceed through each project week, you will add content to each  section of the final document to gradually complete the final project  delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support your work,  and assumptions may be made when necessary.

As part of your weekly tasks, you will be reviewing and answering  some questions based on what you learned going through LabSim for  Network Pro (also covers Network+) Certification Training modules. This  will help you to compile a toolkit to reference should you decide to  take this exam. The topics you will be going through in LabSim will be  spread out over a series of Networking courses, however should you  choose to go through all of the materials on your own, and this will  prepare you to take the certification exam at sponsored locations. The  modules under LabSim for CompTIA – Network+ include:
