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.
