Case Study Deliverables

The key lesson of this case study is the importance of thorough and clear documentation. There should be two types of documentation completed.

General Documentation:

•A complete narrative of the project should be typed using word processing software. Since the scenarios break up the entire task into pieces, take care to address each scenario task so that any layperson could understand that particular task.

•Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program could be used to simply list the equipment and serial numbers.

•Cisco Network Designer (CND), Microsoft Visio, or any paint program could be used to draw the network.

•Provide documentation that specifies how the security was tested. A plan for monitoring the network should also be included.

Technical Documentation:

The technical documentation should include details of the network topology. Use CND, Visio, or any paint program to draw the network.

Use the tables in the working copy of the case study as a reference, and enter all table information into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. The spreadsheet should include the following details:

•IP addressing of all interfaces

•DCE/DTE information

•Router passwords

•Interface descriptions

•IP addressing and gateway assignments for all PCs

The actual access control lists, or router commands sequence, should be included in this documentation using a word processing program. Be sure to include the router interface the list is applied to and the direction.

Document the use of a routing protocol.

Router output from the following commands should be captured and placed into this documentation:

•show cdp neighbors

•show ip route

•show ip protocol
