Task Description Problem context The Southern Cross University has to upgrade its Cisco lab network (given in A1/A2) to meet with new security requirements and recent changes in network technology. According to the new security requirements, access to the lab network routers must be now managed through a centralised server located in the HQ. The access must also be allowed only from the management network. Finally, the network must e upgraded to allow the simulation of an enterprise network of a HQ and 4 branches. You can assume the following: • The HQ has 60 employees. • Branch A, B, C and D subsequently have 40, 30, 20, 10 employees. • Each branch has a local server. • Each employee needs a PC and an IP Phone As a network manager, you will complete the following tasks: Assignment tasks • Task 1: Securing the network.
