Final Project Requirements
The Final Project for this course makes up the bulk of the assessment weighting. Much of what you are asked to do is drawn from the weekly assessment tasks and material covered in the readings. Some additional research and reading will be required.
Any questions of clarification or requests for help for the Final Project should be raised on the Course Forum under the topic ‘Final Project’.

An existing file server,TommyToe, used by the permanent employees to store various documents, spreadsheets, databases, etc., will need to be integrated into the new network.TommyToe runs Microsoft Windows Server as the operating system and is backed up daily via an attached high speed tape drive with suitable software.

All other client hosts should be allocated an IP address from a range of IP addresses.
