The main learing objective as a group, was to design a WAN connectivity for the Washigton School District. This course was the continuation of  the  Cisco Networking Academy, Level III where we learned to design the LAN of one School.  On this course (Level IV), we had to expand  the School LAN and  re-adjusted to include 32 schools, connected by three regional WAN facilities.

The project as described required us to do much search regarding hardware to determine what equipment is available and how it is to be configured. The lead was taken  by Tailoc Hoang who provided with all routers and switches configuation and CISCO Equipment spreadsheet  and their cost. Wilfredo provided to Tailoc with all 32 Schools LAN survey to estimate the numbers of switches and routers  required.

• We as a group learned that when the pressure is on, people have a tendency to fail in completing the assignments.  Some people will not treat the school assigments as they treat their real Jobs;  Creating strugles to other members becuase the work is done by few people. In a real Job assigment, if an individual  does not communicate to their boss or team members, that person is  removed immediately.

• Backup plans must be in place with a reasonable time frame to complete the project should team members (co-workers) fail to complete delegated tasks. If the deadlines are not met, a backup plan can then be implemented.
