• The concept of reserved address space for routers, servers, and hosts
• The reasons for developing an IP address scheme to allow for future growth
Phase 3: Basic Router and Workstation Configuration
This Phase should be completed after students feel comfortable with basic router
configuration, sometime after Module 7.
Students should be somewhat familiar with router configuration, and understand the basic
requirements. The checklist included in Phase 3 will help them to include the essential items
for router configuration. The student should select which workstation is to be the TFTP server.
They must understand which devices need access to the TFTP server. Students should be
guided to complete the chart in Phase 3, and then have the instructor approve the
configuration.
After instructor approval, students should enter their configurations and test them on the
routers.
Phase 4: Access Control Lists
This Phase should be completed after Module 11.
This is a most critical portion of the case study. Students must develop an access control list
on paper first, then type the ACL into a word processing application. The instructor should
guide the students through the process of copying and pasting ACLs into the router
configuration.
Phase 5: Documenting the Network
If the documentation requirements are clear to the students at the beginning of the case study,
the final Phase will have been completed throughout the life of the case study. The Phase will
help to reiterate the purpose of documentation, that it should be done continually and
revisited, not only once.
During the last phase the deliverables list should be discussed again to make sure the student
understands the requirements.
Optional
An additional Phase could be a reflection phase so that the student can look objectively at this
case study. Questions might include: “Why have two types of documentation?”, “What
happens when a piece of equipment fails?”, and so forth.
