CMIT 350 Skills Implementation

This document outlines the structure and content for a CMIT 350 Skills Implementation challenge report. It details the required sections: a title page, table of contents, site-specific sections (each addressing challenges, solutions, technologies used, sample configurations, and supporting tables/diagrams), and a bibliography. Each site section requires a summary of challenges, a description of the chosen solution and its justification, sample device configurations, and supporting visuals. The report emphasizes professionalism, organization, and proper citation using IEEE format. The provided text serves as a template, guiding students through the process of documenting their network implementation solutions.

CMIT 350 WAN and SOHO Skills
Implementation
Use this document as a guide for formatting and organizing
your CMIT 350 Skills Implementation challenge.
Title Page
Professionalism will be key to your success and advancement in your academic and
professional career. Use the title page to identify relevant information such as your name, the
course, professor, and submission/completion date.
Document Index/Contents
Organization will allow your document to be divided into key areas of consideration and allows
an overall structure to be placed over the submission.
Sample text:
I. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
II. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
III. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
IV. Bibliography
I. Site “XXXXXXXXXX” Challenge and Implementation
(Provide a section for each site, as suggested in your
table of contents.)
Site Details and Challenges (Summary)
Here, you will simply summarize the site requirements and/or challenges you are attempting to
overcome. You will not need to implement solutions or discuss your approach at this point. This
information is provided to you and can simply be organized and restated as you understand it.
Think of this area as what needs to be corrected. Suggested length would be one or two
paragraphs.
Sample text:
As described in the scenario, the xUMUC site was developed without any VLAN structure, and
administrators have found the need to isolate broadcast traffic from a layer-2 perspective.
Site Solution(s) and Technologies
With the challenges stated, you will be able to clearly define your approach to solving those
challenges and can state the technologies you will be implementing. Be sure to use this area to
justify your approach and selection of technologies as well. The specific length and details of
this area will vary based on the specifics and depth of the challenge you are facing. Your
justification would be your selection of a specific technology or approach over another and why
you chose the approach you are taking. Show off your knowledge in the foundational skills here!

Sample text:
In order to relieve the administrative tasks surrounding the implementation of manual IP
addressing per device, we will configure and implement a DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol) server, per site requirements. The DHCP allows for devices to identify, request and
implement IP configurations as well as other settings….
Since this area may call for facts and details around technologies and approaches, you will most
likely find yourself using in-text citations, which would appear as follows:
Open Shortest Path First is an open standard routing protocol that’s been implemented by a
wide variety of network vendors, including Cisco [1].
Sample Configuration
Understanding the technologies will satisfy a portion of the documents' requirements. You will
also need to display how the solutions you are suggesting would be implemented. This will
include the specific commands used to configure the devices. Instructions will state when
sample configurations are required, and any sample configurations should be limited to the
devices provided, per the site topology. Device syntax to be used can be found in your training
suite, TestOut’s LabSim. Show off your technical competency here!
Sample text:
Sample Device Configuration 1
Supporting Tables/Diagrams
When structuring solutions per certain sites, you may find it helpful or even necessary to
structure information with tables and/or diagrams. These items can be used to support and
display your understood solutions located in the “Site Solution(s) and Technologies” area.
Display your organizational and logical skills in this area!

Sample table:
Sample Table 1
Sample Table 2
Sample Diagram 1

Repeat the format to include document components for each
site. In this sample, sections numbered II and III in your table
of contents would be provided next, followed by the
bibliography.
IV. Bibliography
Be responsible with your research and included works. Provide proper credit in the IEEE format
to original authors and their works that you leverage in your submission.
