                           Project: Designing a school network



            Suppose you have been assigned to design a network for your school, which has
            been allocated the IP address 198.50.60.0. Describe the procedures you could
            undertake to complete this project.

            In your project,  make  sure you deliver  a comprehensive  and detailed  report
            covering the analysis, design decisions, and implementation process including
            screenshots of the Cisco Packet Tracer implementation.
