Drafting a proper network design is a critical step in building a network infrastructure that provides top notch performance while at the same time minimizing the administrative workload. Network design should also accommodate potential future scalability issues, ensuring that the network can grow with the organization while minimizing disruption and downtime. The UMUC network design presented below presents a plan that includes these factors, along with infrastructure longevity and security. It is essential that the proper physical medium be deployed to ensure that the signals transported by the medium deliver a strong signal to all intended locations. However, the quality of the signal must be balanced with cost and regulatory considerations. So for the UMUC network, CAT6 UTP shall be installed (with the exception of one classroom and the Admissions office) because it costs less than either fiber optics or CAT6 STP (shielded twisted pair) and is capable of delivering gigabit speeds within 100 meters (nearly every location in the building). The Admissions office and classroom located on the floor above the Admissions office will connect into the network using fiber optics (62.5 micron multi-mode fiber) because the distance to each room from the main IT closet will be just over 100 meters in length. Wireless media will implement the 802.11g/n standards with 802.11b disabled to prevent the network from dropping down to a slow 11 Mbps if legacy systems were to connect to
The entire building will share one internet access connection, which is a T-1 link from Verizon. A T1 link is one of the most common Internet access connections used by small businesses. T-1 Link is very fast, consistent and protected. It runs with a bandwidth speeds of 1.5Mb (WordPress.com). That speed is enough to achieve and complete essential business functions. Security is definitely a must and big concern that has to be taken into consideration when design networks, whether it is a business or a home network. Building a network in a university, we have to protect students and employee’s data as well as any intellectual property that college has on the servers and computers. Additional, there are other considerations for each lab, classroom, office, and the library including the capability to print and
The proposed network is designed to serve DesignIT which consist 56’x36’ office space, 4 cubicles, 1 office, 1 server room, 1 receptionist desk and 1 conference room.
Riordan Manufacturing is in need of a new network, this plan will develop a network that will benefit the business, the employees and the customers in a manner that will provide all of them with a smooth operating experience as well as to future proof the entire network. The Network will handle all incoming and outgoing traffic for both the employees on the intranet, as well as the customers on the external internet web site. Quality of Service (QoS) will be implemented to assist in data tracking for use of the bandwidth to determine and plan how much bandwidth is needed and to determine where congestion
First, it supports up to 1Gbps, which is a fair speed for the users. Second, the distance does not matter because all the departments’ workstations will connect to the switch that is in the same building. For the cabling between the access and distribution layer, I have decided to use Multi Mode Fiber (MMF) for many reasons. First, there is huge amount of data coming from the switches in the access layer to the 3-layer switch in the distribution layer, and the MMF cable can deal with heavy traffic data. Second, since that MMF speed is 10Gbps, that makes the 3-layer switch receive and send the data faster to the switches in the access layer. Third, the distance between the switches in the access layer and the 3-layer switches in the distribution layer is less than 2 km. For the core layer, I have decided to
1 Why is this technology appropriate for this scenario? The laptop is not tied to any cables and is using an access point located in the building.
You are working as an IT consultant for the Senior Management team of a large comprehensive school. The management team has asked for information regarding different types of networks as they are considering upgrading all of the IT systems within the school. You
The standardization of the network configuration enables your departments to work with common images and software that will lend itself a continuing ROI by reducing maintenance costs across all sites. A single maintenance plan will be effective at each site. All future upgrades can be rolled out quickly and in a cost-effective manner. Your IT professionals will be able employ best practices across the board without the worry of site specific hardware or software. Six Sigma practices implementation from the Sales Teams will be easily put in place.
Are you staff on any other servers currently?: Yes, I currently own a server but would like to take a break to see how getting staff on another server would be.
As the network engineer, you have been asked to standardize network configurations across the Devry University campus.
As table summaries, the school asked students to make sure that network is running differently to make sure that students, administration and general public all aren’t sharing their own network. The facility blueprints must identify how many port connections will be required by floor. The approximation total, we required should be 222 IP addresses, with 194 addresses on the student network. The subnetting of the network is going to be divided into two subnets that provide security and separation of data between the faculty staff and students.
The current architecture of the Riordan Manufacturing Company Inc. Wide Area Network and network security in place requires updated documentation. The purpose of this paper is to gather the existing information into a single format and evaluate the WAN and security documentation for an executive overview.
In 2002 and 2003, WLAN products supporting a newer standard called 802.11g emerged on the market. 802.11g attempts to combine the best of both 802.11a and 802.11b. 802.11g supports bandwidth up to 54 Mbps, and it uses the 2.4 GHz frequency for greater range. 802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b, meaning that 802.11g access points will work with 802.11b wireless network adapters and vice
Wireless networking hardware requires the use of underlying technology that deals with radio frequencies as well as data transmission. The most widely used standard is 802.11 produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This is a standard defining all aspects of Radio Frequency Wireless networking
You are the network manager of a company that has grown from 10 employees to 100 employees in 12 months. Year 2 projected growth is estimated to be 100 additional employees located at a remote location. The aggressive growth has brought about some unique challenges and opportunities. The company has one remote warehouse and no off-site disaster recovery services or servers. The network design remains a non-redundant, flat topology.
The proposed network is designed for the UMUC new building in Rockville. This new building will have some administrative offices, lecture rooms, library, and computer labs with an open Wi-Fi. This new building will have total six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 25 computers, 23 student computers and one instructor computer, one server in the closet and in addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students for doing their own purpose like homework. In Student Computer Lab there will be 30 computers and a server in the closet. There will be 10 computers for student’s use and 5 computers for Library staff in the library so they can access to the library resources for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be six class room which will have a computer for instructor’s use. Finally, there will be 7 offices in the building and each of these offices will have one computer. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and another one on the second floor. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the
