Network Design Proposal

You have been hired as part of the networking team at UMUC. After completing orientation and training, your manager calls you into a meeting to discuss your first project.

The university has recently leased two buildings in Adelphi, Maryland. The buildings will house faculty and administrative offices, classrooms, a library, and computer labs. Security is important for UMUC, as the university must protect students’ and employees’ data, as well as any intellectual property that UMUC has on its servers and computers. As a result, IT management would like to take the time to review proposals on how best to move forward on security issues. As a junior network engineer, you have been asked to prepare a network proposal on how to set up a secure network infrastructure in the first building to support university operations. The network proposal will require three submissions covering network design, network addressing and security, and network customization and optimization.
Your proposal will be submitted in three major parts:

Network Design (i.e., Part 1)
Network Addressing and Security (i.e., Part 2)
Network Customization and Optimization (i.e., Part 3)
Each of these parts will be submitted to the LEO Assignments folders and TurnItIn. Each of these parts should be submitted independently of the other parts. That is, only submit Part 1 to the LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal Part 1 submission folder. Only submit Part 2 to the LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal Part 2 submission folder. And, only submit Part 3 to the LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal Part 3 submission folder.

To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, take a moment to review the rubrics. The final deliverable should adhere to the following criteria:

Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Design Proposal (Parts 1-3).
Include at least five scholarly references in each of the three submissions. Thus a total of fifteen scholarly references will be included. Students may find scholarly sources by visiting UMUC’s library and online sources. Students will also include other credible sources as appropriate.
Use IEEE-style citations. We do not use APA or MLA-style citations. Students should contact UMUC’s Effective Writing Center for assistance.
Use proper terminology and expand acronyms in each paragraph they are used. For example, the first time in a paragraph an acronym is used it should be expanded (e.g., University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Thereafter, and as long as you are in the same paragraph, the acronym (e.g., UMUC) can be used. When starting a new paragraph, the rule begins anew.
The use of figures and diagrams is encouraged. Students will properly cite the figures and diagrams according to the IEEE-style citation

You need to choose a company that is currently listed on the ASX

Task You need to choose a company that is currently listed on the ASX. You are required to write a report interpreting the company’s annual report. This report will need to be written for a specific stakeholder of your choice. Possible stakeholders are listed below:  Potential investor·  Creditor·  Potential employee·  Local environmental group·  Union seeking a wage rise· You will also be required to source additional information about the company’s performance, for example, via credible articles that discuss the management of the company. Please note that where the annual report may have both group and parent company financial statements, you should use the group financial statements. It is important that you refer to financial analysis measures in your report. See “Workbook: The Tools we use” file which can be found in Supplementary Resources at the bottom of the subject resources page on the portal. This provides further elaboration and for examples of analysis measures that you can use. These can be selected from any analysis measures stated in the annual report and/or your own calculations based on financial statements in the annual report or those provided to you by your workshop leader. It is important to source financial information relevant to your stakeholder.

 

You may also refer to relevant non-financial measures which are outlined in Resource B below. It is expected that the language and structure of your report will reflect its formal nature and the preference of the stakeholder for whom it’s intended. Please use Resource A below as a guide. A modern formal report for business includes:  an introduction (in the form of an executive summary)·  a main·  body (with sub-headings as appropriate)·  a justified conclusion (with recommendations and limitations of the report)·  a reference list.· Take care to clearly communicate your ideas.

Resource A – Report content Introduction (in the form of an executive summary) The executive summary is usually no longer than 10% of the original document. It is written for people who may not have the time to read the entire report, and need an outline that presents the main findings and the conclusions. Identify the company and its main activities and the reporting period to which the report relates. Outline the purpose of your report, identifying the specific needs of the stakeholder you’ve selected, and include a brief summary of your findings, incorporating your recommendation. Accuracy in re-stating your report’s main points is essential as decisions and strategies may be made by your intended user even though they have not read the entire report. For planning purposes, an executive summary should be written after you’ve completed your report

 

Interpretation Interpreting the annual report for an external user involves explaining the relevant financial and non-financial information, which may be found in the current annual report and other media related to the Australian company. Your interpretation needs to cover profitability, cash management and liquidity, and any other measure(s) relevant to the specific needs of the stakeholder. You should also refer to:  financial and/or non-financial information contained in the annual report·  other relevant financial and/or non-financial information collected from other sources that relates to the· company and its economic activities. For example, if the report is for a potential employee, you could look for aspects of the business that have been closed down in the previous period or new openings. Provide information about the company’s business activities during the year and the financial implications of these. Identify business/economic causes for the trends in financial results. Provide evidence of the profitability of the company and discuss whether or not it seems to be well placed moving forward. Link these individual aspects together to give an overall picture of the company’s situation relevant to the needs of the stakeholder..

 

Conclusion Make a recommendation to the stakeholder tailored towards their specific needs. For example, if the report is for a potential shareholder, the recommendation should include a market analysis. If the report is for a potential employee, the recommendation should include specific details of staff relocations, redundancies or changes in the recent past.
