Introduction

College Maju is a small private campus that provide opportunity to the people in Kembang Setaman
district to pursue their study in tertiary level. Due to lack of budget, the college’s campus architecture
was poorly designed and implemented. The network was segmented using typical segmentation
(subnetting) and no security feature(s) was implemented. Furthermore, current system does not support
further scalability in the future.

The campus consists of library building, 2 academic buildings, lab building and an admin building.

Form a group of 2 students, write a report based on the following tasks. You need to submit your final
group report before deadline.
