Objective In this task, you will be given a networking scenario and a set of network diagrams. You will be asked to automate one local area network to given specifications as a proof of concept for the larger network configuration project. Review the “Network Automation Scenario,” “School District Network Diagram,” and “School District Closet Network Diagram” supporting documents. Then, build your automation solutions in the lab environment (“WGU PA Virtual Lab Environment”) provided in the “Web Links” section of this task. Provide your project documentation via exported text files and screenshots. Overview Throughout your career in networking, you will be asked to develop and improve an organization’s network using automation to support the company’s goals. You will need to conduct assessments of the organization’s current configuration in order to determine appropriate solutions for automating its networks. The organization’s leaders may ask you to develop a plan to automate a state-of-the-art networking solution with a short deadline. You are a network engineer working for Autojor—an IT vendor that partners with and supports networking infrastructure for school districts. You must design a network automation solution that meets the district’s requirements. More information about the company and its requirements can be found in the attached “Networking Automation Scenario.” The two automation solutions you will develop are the deployment of VLANs and the automation of user accounts on all networking devices and user workstations on the specific local area network. You will build your automation solution in the lab environment. For this task, you will use the virtual lab environment—which can be accessed using the “WGU PA Virtual Lab Environment” web link—and you will use a Git repository to provide documentation of your code. You can access a free version of GitLab via the “Git Repository” link in the Web Links section. You will present your completed solution in a Panopto video recording. You can assume that your audience is a group of peers with technical knowledge of network automation solutions. You will provide a walk-through of your solution, show how your automations were deployed successfully, and discuss how your automation solution works to meet the needs of the school district. Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide. You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course. Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt). Note: For Parts I and II, you will use the WGU-provided lab environment to automate the deployment of VLANs and to automate user accounts based on the scenario and network diagrams. In this assessment, you will set up a VLAN for the creation of a VLAN deployment Part I: VLAN Deployment Automation Solution Verify the industry-standard Python libraries using a pip list that will automate the deployment of VLANs and include a screenshot or exported text file that verifies that the libraries you will be using are installed. Screenshots must be clear with a full view of the screen and include the date and time.

WGU - D417 - Automation Assessment
Introduction
Objective
In this task, you will be given a networking scenario and a set of network diagrams. You
will be asked to automate one local area network to given specifications as a proof of
concept for the larger network configuration project. Review the “Network Automation
Scenario,” “School District Network Diagram,” and “School District Closet Network
Diagram” supporting documents. Then, build your automation solutions in the lab
environment (“WGU PA Virtual Lab Environment”) provided in the “Web Links” section of
this task. Provide your project documentation via exported text files and screenshots.




Overview
Throughout your career in networking, you will be asked to develop and improve an
organization’s network using automation to support the company’s goals. You will need to
conduct assessments of the organization’s current configuration in order to determine
appropriate solutions for automating its networks. The organization’s leaders may ask you
to develop a plan to automate a state-of-the-art
networking solution with a short deadline.




You are a network engineer working for Autojor—an IT vendor that partners with and
supports networking infrastructure for school districts. You must design a network
automation solution that meets the district’s requirements. More information about the
company and its requirements can be found in the attached “Networking Automation
Scenario.” The two automation solutions you will develop are the deployment of VLANs
and the automation of user accounts on all networking devices and user workstations on
the specific local area network. You will build your automation solution in the lab
environment.

, For this task, you will use the virtual lab environment—which can be accessed using the
“WGU PA Virtual Lab Environment” web link—and you will use a Git repository to provide
documentation of your code. You can access a free version of GitLab via the “Git
Repository” link in the Web Links section.

You will present your completed solution in a Panopto video recording. You can assume
that your audience is a group of peers with technical knowledge of network automation
solutions. You will provide a walk-through of your solution, show how your automations
were deployed successfully, and discuss how your automation solution works to meet the
needs of the school district.




Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the
submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly
quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report
that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.


You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides
detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be
evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks
to relevant portions of the course.


Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides,
OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file
