Case Study Marking Criteria

Notes: 1. During the Demonstration, each group of three will normally have 45 minutes to implement the networks they have
designed, including cabling, configuring, testing and troubleshooting whenever necessary without instructor's assistance. This means
each lab will normally have to run two separate sessions to accommodate up to eight groups. 2. The Demonstration will be in lab on
real equipment and only the captures from real equipment may be accepted for assessment. 3. Each group is expected to submit a
written report prior to Demonstration. 4. Your hand-written engineering journal, as well as your detailed topology diagram with
addresses, are allowed in the Demonstration. However it should not contain the specific solution in any way. You are not allowed to
refer to any other printed documents or books, including lab manuals.
