How the Case Study will work

How the Case Study will work

• This case study is designed to be completed in groups of four ‘technical’ students and an IT Mgt or BA student. It is expected that each individual ‘technical’ student will be responsible for either WAGGA / ALBURY / GRIFFITH or CLOUD network design/build.
• Your group must work together to determine how to create your full mesh network (IPSec tunnels using hardware routers or OpenVPN are two options) while IT Mgt or BA students work along side the technical development.
• Each technical team member is also responsible for providing a configuration guide for the shared part of their local network to other team members and for assisting with getting these remote sites connected / tested
• Marks will be allocated, as per the rubric for each assessment item on an individual basis.
• Students are encouraged to work closely together to develop a cohesive submission for each assessment item, but will still be required to submit individually.
• Technical students will nominate tasks (i.e. Albury, Wagga, Griffith, Cloud) in order of preference and will be allocated to a group. We will endeavour to give you your first choice and you will have the option to decline participation if you are not given your first choice (assuming you have a suitable alternative project). Students will also nominate preferred solution technology.

In the case of groups with <4 students, 1+ sites (WAGGA, ALBURY, GRIFFITH or CLOUD) will be considered out of scope.

If a team member withdraws from the subject their site is considered out of scope and will not impact your grade.

If all members of your team other than you withdraw from the subject you will be placed into another group using the same networking technology.

If a member of your team fails to get their local network services working or you cannot connect to them but you can connect to at least one other team member this will not impact your grade.
