Basic concepts and benefits behind computer networks      (Discuss the basic concepts behind computer networks and the benefits of computer networking). Think of this as an introductory section. Follow slide 1.1 Concepts & Benefits of Networks, Network Scopes (Network types), Network Architecture (P2P and Client Server), so that you know what to cover. We don’t need lots of detail for this task – just cover the key points. We have later tasks for going into detail.

Discuss the concept of WANS as it relates to cloud computing. Traditionally, networks were seen has hub and spoke topologies where WANS connected privately owned LANS together. Today, there are often connectivity with cloud providers and also related third parties. How can you ensure that these connections are secure? How else might this change the way you think about your network? Review your classmates' posts and respond to at least one of them. Compare the examples if given and respond substantively. Do you agree or disagree with their answer?

Opening in Kalamazoo, MI in 6 months, you have just been given the network requirements for this business. There will be 55 employees in this office: 5 - shipping and receiving, 3 – accounting, 2 – human resources, 3 – managers, 10 – technicians, 20 – sales personnel, 10 – customer service, and 2 – marketing. Each employee will have a computer that requires network access. It is your job to design, configure, and implement all required network infrastructure. Create a subnet for each department and a subnet for 7 servers. Make the last usable IP address for each subnet the gateway for that subnet. Use private IPv4 addressing. Size your subnets appropriately – use the smallest prefix to accommodate the number of nodes required.   Configure a DHCP server to provide IP addresses to each department computer - Configure a workstation in each subnet so it has network access  Configure a server in the server subnet and apply a static IP address so it has full network access  Ensure only the…

GreenTech has 200 networked computers and five servers and uses a star topology wired network to reach employees' offices, with a bus interconnecting three floors in its office building. Because of a staggering influx of Internet business, the network administrator's task is to boost network performance and availability as much as possible. The company also wants a network design which Prepared by: Dr. Deepani Guruge Moderated by: Dr. Mobammad Mekammed March, 2020 MN405 Data and Information Management Page | 5 of 5 is easy to reconfigure and add more computers to the existing network change because workgroups form and disband frequently and their membership changes regularly. All computers must share sensitive data and control access to customer files and databases. Aside from the customer information and billing databases, which run on all servers, employees' desktop computers must run standard word-processing and spreadsheet programs. Use the following write-on lines to evaluate the…

b) Discuss how you would network the AIT-Knowledge City campus or Sea View campus, taking into account the various sections of that campus (lecture halls, offices, security post, Canteen, etc.), discussing the choice of technologies, devices, topology/topologies, network types/sizes, protocols and anything else you would use and justifying your choices.

A network may require an upgrade to one of the faster Ethernet topologies. Most Ethernet networks support speeds of 10 Mbps,100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps. The new generation of multimedia, imaging, and database products can easily overwhelm a network that operates at traditional Ethernet speeds of 10 and 100 Mbps. Network administrators may choose to provide Gigabit Ethernet and 10Gigabit Ethernet from the backbone to the end user. Using relevant diagrams, illustrate how Ethernet technologies can be used economically in a campus network.
