Modern Learning Schools, Networking Proposal

Specific Project Objectives

The purpose of this project is to develop a complete Network Design for the Modern Learning Schools, private school system. The needs of the school system involve creating a secure environment to handle the needs of the school system through a Metropolitan area network (MAN) where hardware is centralized, where all personal and laptop computers are connected within the schools, each student and faculty member has access to server disk space, any computer can access a printer within the same building, and Internet access available for all affiliated parties within the school system. The Modern Learning Schools, private school system is a fictional school system and the time of this proposal will be the first Wednesday of April 2004.

The objective of this network proposal is to create an atmosphere where efficiency, security, and preciseness are the rule. The benefits of such a solution will not only enhance the learning experience of the individual student, but as well create a unified atmosphere leading to an ergonomically friendly and secure environment for all students, faculty, and administrators in a secure and mobile computing environment.

Our intent is to model and create a highly scalable network design. Our solution will integrate combination of hardware and software, which will satisfy present and future needs of the school. By giving a detailed description of the system in a macro view, we would like to demonstrate how this solution will benefit the school system and show that our proposal is superior in many respects compared to any other competitive bids.

Description

The Modern Learning Schools is a private school system comprised of Kindergarten through 12th grade education for children. The school system consists of three campuses: East, Downtown, and North, respectively. The East campus consists of the Kindergarten through 5th grade, each class averaging about 20 students per school year and a teacher assigned for each grade as well as a principal and his or her secretary. The Downtown campus is very similar to the East campus, consisting of the same educational levels taught, the same amount of students, and faculty as well. Though the main difference being is that the Downtown campus has a computer lab which is made up of 16 Windows based computers. The North campus is comprised of grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. For the Kindergarten through 5th grade, there is an average of 240 students, resulting in 2 classes per grade and each class comprised of 20 students. Each principal and his or her secretary has a computer, additionally there is one computer in each of 15 teachers class rooms; also there is one computer each for the art room, the gymnasium, and one for the computer teacher. The North campus contains eight middle school classrooms for grades 6 through 8 and ten high school classrooms for grades 9 through 12. There is a separate principal for the middle and high school students, as well as one secretary per principal. There are a total of 21 teachers and a total of 350 students at the North campus. The school also has two computer labs, one has 16 Macintosh based computers and the other has 16 Windows based computers. There is also a need for a computer in the work room, art room, band room and gymnasium. Present equipment inventory is summarized in the table below (Anderson, 2004):

  • Assume compatibility with a Microsoft Windows 2000/NT/XP operating system.
  • Assume software performs on a single Ethernet based LAN with Internet connectivity and a wireless 802.11b network.
  • Buildings are not pre-wired with Ethernet cable, nor RJ-45 data jacks installed.
  • Buildings will be connected using T1 (speeds up to 1.5 MBps) or OC-1 (speeds up to 51.84 MBps) connection, depending on availability and price of a given ISP in the area.
  • Schools plan in the future to extensively use multimedia applications to provide interactive learning aids for students of all grades.
  • School will require high school students to equip their laptops with wireless LAN adapter cards and students will be responsible for equipment cost.
  • Students have the needed software for interfacing with their web site
  • Internet Explorer 6.0 and Outlook email software are used
  • Little need for additional wiring
  • Should be able to reduce hardware and software costs from public prices because of educational usages.

Proposal

Our group's proposal is to create a user oriented environment with the benefits of cost efficiency and users' simplicity to accomplish all of their networking needs. Our simple and mobile environment will come with the security to protect the privacy and integrity of the school system and its participants. We will implement Wireless technologies to not only save the district money, but to add the functionality and productivity, which are only possible with wireless network. Benefits will not only be gained from the users' standpoint, but from the administration and maintenance of the system as well. So in our proposal we will give the Learning School System a thorough reasoning for the choice of the technologies and derived efficiencies.

From a macro view, we intend to connect the school district together through 3 Cisco routers. Cisco is the leading manufacturer of routing equipment as well as the most trusted. With Cisco's reputation and reliability, such needs as firewall security, bandwidth management, VPN access, and integration creates the hallmark for a secure, efficient, and safe networking environment. The Internet access will be recommended by (AT&T, 2004) ATT Managed Internet Services. A Burstable T1.5 access to port should not only allow all students and staff to enjoy Internet research and freedom, but allow a consistent and speedy use of the World Wide Web. The reason that the Burstable T1.5 is an optimal choice is that it has T1 capabilities, but charges you for what you use. So during summer vacation, or even in the evenings, since there is miniscule Internet access, there is no need to pay for it. Individual users will gain access to network resources through Wireless LAN Adapter Cards. Approximately 15 Airespace Access Points (APs) will be installed throughout the campuses in strategic locations to provide wireless clients with access to the network.

To best fulfill the needs of the Learning School systems' students as well as the general public, we propose to have a separate web server for the general public and a separate web server for the students. Such arrangement will help to load balance server traffic. (AT&T, 2004) The T1.5 Burstable Internet access with full T1 capabilities should easily shoulder the effort of all visitors and users associated with the Learning School system. The idea of the T1.5 Burstable Internet is that T1 capabilities will be utilized when needed, helping school to save money during off school hours, such as evenings, weekends, and vacations.

The corporate Modern Learning Schools website will be created by one of our developers. It will be a design that reflects the integrity and culture that surround the school system. There will be an additional cost of $2000 for the site that will include any logo design, all specified static pages for informational needs, and optional static pages for user input. The site will be created in ASP 3.0 format and data will reside on the MYSQL Pro database. Hosting will be done in house on the upgraded Gateway 920 server, running the Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0 web server software. For revisions, FrontPage 2003 software will be installed for the administration staff to add any changes. In the future, any complete design needs, which can not be fulfilled by the district administration staff can be forwarded for development to our company that will aid with development for a prearranged consulting fee.

The student's website will be a consortium of information ranging from a list of the school activities to class assignments. The initial static pages will be created in house at a cost, which is included with the corporate web site. Since the site will be encompassed in the .Net framework, VB.Net and C#.net will be used to represent each student with their accompanying classes and its assignments. Should any major changes need to be made; our company can provide this service for a fee. The website will be hosted on the school premises on the upgraded Gateway 920 and running the Windows 2003 web server.

With the students and faculty needs as top priority, we not only have a belief in modular software and hardware but want to give all participants a real life experience. We briefly considered other file server software, but felt that Windows technology would be best for the students and faculty as a whole. In a real life scenario, people from all walks of life must be able to create, distribute, and manipulate files in a general environment. We feel that windows will fulfill these requirements, plus will standardize all hardware and software configurations.

To satisfy the needs of storage requirements, we feel that one file server should be adequate to support the needs of the entire school system. Running our Windows 2003 Server software will be the upgraded Gateway 920 with additional processor.

The web servers will also be separate units as well. With today's mass of unwanted email, the needs of the students and faculty must not be compromised on a shared server. Symantic Anti Virus software in conjunction with Windows 2003 Server will help to create secure and virus resistant environment. The hardware for the web server will be the same version Gateway 920 with the processor upgrade.

The proposal was prepared by a team of experts in wireless and wired network infrastructure, web hosting and web design and security areas. Each step of the proposal was approached with the same degree of rigor to deliver the final product. So for a price of $99,142.09, all of the needs are met and most importantly your expectations are exceeded.

Network Resources

Justification

Wired Network

  • An all wired network from a PC to switch/hub would be wired using UTP cat 5e cabling, because it supports 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet. It allows having 100 Mbps data transfer rate between network PCs and also have much faster Ethernet gigabit uplinks from Cisco 2611XM routers to servers and to Airespace Wireless LAN 4000 switch.
  • Based on number of users, applications used, network protocols Cisco recommends at least T1 (1.5MBps) connection to the Internet.

Wireless vs. Wired.

  • Our group selected wireless network installation over wired network after cost analysis of 2 options. In summary, wireless installation = $ 38,285.34 vs. wired installation = $ 57,965.40 The cost of running Ethernet cable to each individual workstation is cost prohibitive when compared to wireless installation.

(Smetiouk, 2004)Below is a price comparison of wireless versus wired networking for the Modern Learning School district.

Our selection of networking equipment was narrowed down to two leading suppliers of wired and wireless networking equipment. We decided that the best solution for the wired part of the network can be handled by Cisco products and as for wireless, Airespace manufacturer won that spot. It was a difficult decision not to go with just a single supplier for all networking needs, but based on the latest independent product testing results we decided that Airespace products are superior to Cisco when it comes to wireless choice of products.

All three campuses will be connected using T1 links of an independent ISP. All three campuses will have 2611XM router installed on each site and connected via T1 links. All routers at each of the campuses will have16 port 10/100 Base-T Ethernet module installed to act as router and switch in one. The North campus will have additional modules added to the 2611XM router to provide firewall and virtual private network capabilities. We will install Airespace 4000 WLAN switch and Air Control System software to seamlessly manage all Access Points at all three campuses. The benefits and key features of each network equipment item are detailed below:

The Cisco 2600 Series Router

  • Investment protection - Support for field-upgradeable modular components on the Cisco 2600 Series allows customers to easily change network interfaces without a "forklift upgrade" of the entire branch office network. The AIM slot(s) further protect investments by offering the expandability to support advanced services such as hardware-assisted data compression, data encryption, ATM data/voice access, or DSP digital voice applications.
  • Lower cost of ownership - By integrating the functions of switches, CSU/DSUs, ISDN Network Termination (NT1) devices, firewall, modems, compression or encryption devices, and other equipment found in branch office wiring closets in a single, compact unit, the Cisco 2600 Series provides a space-saving solution that can is more manageable.
  • Integrated Flexible Routing and Low Density Switching - With support of an optional 16-port 10/100 Ether Switch network module, branch offices can take advantage of the flexibility of integrated routing and switching functions in one unit for low port densities. This offers high-speed connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2 and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router. An optional external power chassis provides in-line power to IP Phones and to Aironet 802.11 Base Stations.
  • Integration of Content Networking and Branch-Office Routing - With the integration of an optional Content Engine Network Module with branch-office routing, Cisco offers the industry's first and only router integrated content-delivery system. Combining intelligent caching, content routing and management with robust branch-office routing, WAN bandwidth is conserved for important branch IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), while simplifying \configuration, deployment, and operations.
  • Voice/Data integration - Cisco offers the industry's broadest, most scalable multi-service voice/data integration solution set. The Cisco 2600 Series allows network managers to provide scalable analog and digital telephony without investing in a one-time solution, allowing enterprises greater control of their converged telephony needs. Using the Voice/Fax modules, the Cisco 2600 Series may be deployed in both Voice over IP (VoIP) and Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) networks. The packet voice trunk network module supports up to 60 simultaneous voice calls as well as supporting routing and other services. When used with the ATM-AIM, VoATM using AAL2 or AAL5 can be deployed.
  • Enterprise/Provider class solution - Meets the requirements of multi-service enterprises and their managed service CPE providers with high reliability features, multiple WAN connections, and the ability to migrate from data only to time-division multiplexing (TDM) voice and data to packetized voice and data infrastructure. Security-With the integration of optional VPN Modules, Cisco IOS based Firewall and IDS, Content Engine Network Modules, or Intrusion Detection Network Modules, Cisco offers the industry's most robust and adaptable Security Solution for Branch Office Routers. VPN Modules can be used to provide up to 10 times the performance over software only encryption. Additionally, the new Cisco Intrusion Detection System Network Module allows decryption, tunnel termination and traffic inspection at the first point of entry into the network while freeing the router CPU from process-intensive IDS tasks.
  • Business-Class DSL Connectivity - With the WIC-ADSL, WIC-1ADSL-I-DG, and WIC-1SHDSL, offers a broad range of business-class broadband options with scalable performance, flexibility, and security for branch and regional offices. The Cisco 2600 Series provides an ideal solution for a variety of businesses requiring high-speed
  • business-class -DSL connectivity on a secure, high-performance modular platform.

Cisco 16 port 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Module for 2611XM Router

  • Delivers up to 200Mbps of bandwidth Layer 2; forwards and filters backflow at full wire speed on each port Autosensing on each port - detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the port for 10 or 100 Mbps operation Integrated switching - provides fewer points of management for remote and small branch offices

Cisco VPN Encryption Module AIM-VPN/EP

  • Allows to provide hardware enabled VPN tunneling and Cisco software enabled firewall capabilities

Airespace 4000 WLAN Switch

  • Easy management of up to 25 Access Points
  • It also provides easy configuration of all APs with its Air Control System Software
  • Supports 3 mode wireless standards: 802.11 a/b/g, providing transfer rates up to 54Mbps
  • Dynamic channel assignment - 802.11 channels are adjusted to optimize network coverage and performance based on changing RF conditions
  • Interference detection and avoidance - The Airespace 4000 WLAN Switch detects interference and recalibrates the network to avoid performance problems
  • Load balancing across multiple Access Points - The Airespace system provides automatic load balancing of users across multiple APs for optimum network performance, even under heavy load
  • Coverage hole detection and correction - AireWave Director Software detects coverage holes and attempts to correct them by adjusting the power output of APs
  • Dynamic power control - The Airespace 4000 WLAN Switch dynamically adjusts the power output of individual APs to accommodate changing network conditions. This ensures predictable wireless performance and availability
  • VPN termination - The Airespace 4000 WLAN Switch supports an optional on-board security module that supports IPSec encryption at rates up to 2 million packets per second
  • Identity-based security policies - IT managers have granular control over how users can use the wireless network and where they can roam
  • Rogue AP detection, location and suppression - The Airespace system detects rogue Access Points and allows IT managers to locate them and prevent users from associating with them. This preserves the integrity of the wireless network and ensures that malicious users cannot access sensitive corporate information
  • Wire-speed fire-walling - The Airespace 4000 WLAN Switch enables individual firewall features to be enabled on a per user basis. This ensures that users' security policies follow them as they roam throughout an enterprise

Airespace 1200 Access Point

  • Supports 3 mode wireless standards: 802.11 a/b/g, providing transfer rates up to 54Mbps.
  • Avg speeds of 6.6MB/sec for 802.11 b networks and 25.4 MB/sec for 802.11a networks - making it the number ONE product on the wireless market

D-Link Systems Wireless PCMCIA and PC LAN Adapter Cards

  • Competitive price and support of 3 wireless mode standards: 802.11 a/b/g by D-Link Systems is an excellent choice for a mobile user

D-Link Systems Wireless Print Servers

  • Competitive price and support of 3 wireless mode standards: 802.11 a/b/g by D-Link Systems excellent choice for wireless printing
  • D-Link Systems offers variety of models with one or more LPT ports, hence our selection of DP-311P with 1 LPT port where only one printer needs to be connected to the network and DP-313 with support for 3 LPT ports where up to 3 printers can be connected to a wireless network

ISP Provider

When choosing an ISP, the decision not only is based on price, but quality, reputation, history. We choose the AT&T Managed Internet Service for a variety of reasons. Not only does AT&T signify all that Telecommunications stands for, but offers an excellent product that exactly fits the needs of the school system. The Learning School district needs Internet access for only part of the time, meaning typical business hours, autumn through spring. On occasions, there will be a need for Internet usage, but as a whole there is no need to pay for what you don't need.

With the AT&T Managed Internet Service, the need of a full T1, which is approximately 1.5 Mbps is needed only part time. So we will contract with them to allow for a full T1 limit, when needed. This plan is called the T1.5 Burstable, and will not only save your district money, but will fulfill all the needs of the users as well as the hardware.
