OSI MODEL




This blog is created by our group members to accomplish the project of subject BITS 1313 Data Communication and Networking. There are 3 members in our group which are listed below:

  1. Nur Syahirah Binti Mohd Arsad (B032010289)
  2. Nur Izzati Binti Ishak (B032010122)
  3. Nur Khalida Khalisha binti Khalid (B032010224)

The scenario of this project can be referred to Figure 1. Figure 1 shows the logical network flow from a home network to UTeM facilities. In this figure, a UTeM’s student is trying to access the Ulearn system located in the UTeM network facilities. The student is using her modem to connect to the public network before able to connect to the UTeM facilities. From the UTeM network, the data then was forwarded to IT Center where the Ulearn System server is located. 



For this project, each group is expected to produce writing related to the project scenario. From the scenario, three major sections need to be produced which are:

In this section, you are expecting to explain on how the data travels from the student’s computer to reach the Ulearn System server which is in the UTeM IT Center. The explanation should be related the OSI Layer Model. Explain the possible network components involves throughout the communications. Illustrate the diagram to support your explanation.


In this section, you are expecting to show the calculation on how to identify the IP address that was assigned for the Ulearn System Server based on the information given in the project scenario. Explain the concept and show the calculation to identify the IP address. 


In this section, you are assumed have correctly identified the IP address for the Ulearn System Server. Therefore, you must produce a manual on how to configure the IP address on the server. You can use any operating system to demonstrate this task. The explanation should be supported with the screenshot and appropriate explanation.
