context and current situation
Take note that it is recommended that students do this assignment in groups of no more than two or three.
Conceive and construct a network from the ground up.
Your design has to include at least two personal computers, one Cisco 4321 router, and two Cisco 2960 switches as a minimum.
Complete the configuration of the network, then choose either IPv4 or IPv6 (subnetting must be included as a part of your addressing scheme).
Perform at least five show commands in order to validate the network.
SSH, safe passwords and console passwords should all be used to protect the network (minimum).
Make a grading rubric that may be used for unofficial assessments by classmates. Bring your capstone project to the attention of the class, and be prepared to field questions and comments from your fellow students.
After finishing all of the chapters, you might consider turning in this optional modelling activity as a graded assignment so that you may get feedback on it. Students should be able to demonstrate the process of designing, configuring, verifying, and securing local area networks (LANs). This project places a significant emphasis on documentation, and students are expected to be able to defend their network designs and demonstrate their verification using display commands.
Resources That Are Necessary
a packet tracker
a student- or group-developed rubric for the purpose of grading the assignment.

Finishing up the document
Documentation is very necessary for effective network administration; in the absence of it, administrators would need to manually rebuild network topologies and validate addresses, among other tasks. This consumes time that may be put to better use elsewhere.
Here's an example of documentation and a suggested rubric for you to think about:
Please take note that the points won category on this rubric is worth a total of 100 points (if minimum standards are met). Answers should consider awarding bonus points for extra or advanced effort in any of the required categories. Build a simple network consisting of segments that are directly linked to one another, using at least one router, two switches, and two computers, and provide a screenshot of the network in the final documentation you produce. You will need to configure the network so that it includes switches, routers, and end devices. Additionally, you will need to assign your own network addresses. You are required to employ subnetting of some kind, and you may choose between IPv4 and IPv6 for the logical addressing of your network. Make sure to include a table in your final documentation that details the addressing system you used for the physical components of the router, switch, and computer.
Verify the network by issuing at least five different show commands in order to establish a performance baseline. You should be able to explain why you picked the display commands that you did and what the meaning of the result is. Save screenshots of your work and include them in the documentation you make at the end.
