for every student, It is student's responsibility to check if his/her submitted work is markable by our
teaching team. It is recommended that every student immediately download your own submitted work
(e.g., PDF/imn file, etc) and check if the submission would be downloadable/readable/markable by a
tutor. If the teaching team is unable to mark your submission, you may end up losing up to 50% or more
of your marks.
Network Configuration and Security
Introduction
For this assignment you will use the core network emulator to complete a series of tasks on an individual
core configuration file that is generated for you. To download your individual core configuration file,
open the subject’s Moodle page then navigate to the Assessments section and follow the provided
instructions for the Assignment 2. The downloaded *.imn file will be in zip format, please unzip the file
to use it.
You must write a report to explain the changes you make and the configuration you add to achieve the
goals of each task and your reasons for each change/configuration as well as the tests you perform to
check the task is accomplished. Your submitted core file will be marked by running the configuration
and testing that the tasks are completed. The report will serve as a reference and maybe checked
during marking. However, if a test fails when running your submitted core file, you will receive no mark
for that failed test (i.e., part of a task) regardless of your explanations in the report. If tasks are similar,
you only need to explain your reasons once, and then just report the changes you make to individual
services on each node.
