It/242 Week 9 FInal

Swagger Distribution’s networking illustration is showing a wired networking system for the company. As the diagram shows, the companies system is most important in the computer room. This is where most of the company’s connection begins. The internet, which is the WAN (Wide Area Network) is the beginning to the LAN (Local Area Network). This starts with the WAN coming into the computer room’s T1 Demarcation Router. The T1 Demarcation Router is then connected to the Main Router which has a connection to the Firewall as well as the Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet Switch then has a Fiber Optic cable connecting to the warehouse Remote Ethernet Switch. This allows

A computer network that may cover a whole city, an entire university or a particular region

A LAN networks job is to link computers together through a central device. That central device is the router, it is what transfers data to and from computers with an Ethernet cable or wirelessly as long as you are connected to the network. When you connect to the internet you are actually connecting to millions of networks that are connect through a multitude of ways: telephone lines, cable, and even fiber optic lines. A LAN and the Internet are the same only in the way that they both need a router to, well, route traffic. You actually can incorporate the Internet access into a LAN. The modem must be connected to the router and then that will provide a gateway between the Internet and the network connection. A firewall is very important

Each location has its own local network thus it is distributed across the company, however this has its pros and cons that can affect the company. With the implementation of a WAN as defined in Telecommunications Essentials “A wide area network (WAN) is a group of computer networks connected over long distances by telecommunications links, which can be either wireline or wireless.” (Goleniewski & Jarrett, 2007, p. 201) The benefits that a WAN will bring to Kudler Fine Foods is a centralized management of all systems and an ease of use communication from store to store. As stated earlier along with the WAN, each location will also be implementing a WLAN. This shall improve network coverage and give each location the ability to place computer systems or POS machines in locations that may have not been possible before due to the lack of a hardline or ability to install a new line. Wireless technology has greatly improved over the years and has transitioned from an additional layer that may not be needed or only added if there was room in the budget to a

This course, BEH225, has spent the past nine weeks introducing us to different human behaviors and specific types of mental disorders. When exploring theories and concepts associated with the psychology of the human mind, you quickly discover that genetics does play as big a role as does upbringing. I specifically enjoyed the section that explored different types of motivation an employee may or may not display. Another area that I found to be enlightening delved into the various psychological disorders that we may encounter during our life. I am going to apply what we have studied throughout this course to my interview with Dorothy. Certain aspects, methods, 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.

Now that the Network design stage is complete, the team must now determine the hardware and software needed to bring the network design to life. As discussed the backbone of Kudler’s Fine Foods network will be a routed network with LANs and a WAN. IN this case the LAN or Local Area Network will be everything Kudler Fine foods have on the internal side of its routers and firewalls. The WAN or Wide Area Network will be everything in between the LANs at each one of the Kudler Fine Foods locations.

When designing a WAN, numerous factors must be considered. Organizations attempting to connect multiple factories or offices and remote personnel must take into account a number of variables that will impact overall costs and network functionality. When designing and implementing wide area networks (WANs) that integrate voice, video,

Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps. There needs to be 4 printer services in this building. Printer 1 should have

Ideally, each local office would integrate its computers with a LAN, so that all employees would be able to share information, and resources such as printers. In case there are multiple buildings in an office (like in the corporate office), each building would have its own LAN, and the LANs could be connected by a Backbone Network.

You have been hired to upgrade a network of 50 computers currently connected to 10 Mbps hubs. This long-overdue upgrade is necessary because of poor network response time caused by a lot of collisions occurring during long file transfers between clients and servers. How do you recommend upgrading this network? What interconnecting devices will you use, and what benefit will you get from using these devices? Write a short memo describing the upgrade and, if possible, include a drawing of the new network.

Ethernet switches, routers and bridges will be needed to assist the data as it moves from computer to computer whether within the store or for communication between all six stores.

Since one office is in the center of the WAN, it would be the most logical location for the main server headquarters. This main location would be home to six servers, two of them being print servers and the other four each hosting their own specific applications to all of the workstations in the network. The first of the four servers would hold the business management applications needed by any of the accountants or human resource teams. The second would hold the medical managing software that would hold all patient information, insurance, and bills that could be accessed from any of the 5 office locations in the network for both doctor and patient convenience. The third will be used to host a web server and the final system will be used as a domain controller that will manage the users and groups on the network.

OSPF is one of the most popular interior gateway protocols. It gathers updates from other link-state routers and combines them to create a map of the network. OSPF was developed in 1988, after RIP began running into technical issues with larger networks. While OSPF has been around for almost 30 years, it is still widely used today, and is still one of the best IGP 's available.

The trade school in the Springfield region has developed and implemented a WAN link to integrate with all sites as follows: Worchester, Boston, Sacramento and Los Angeles, for better communication purposes. The expansion of their networks has come with some difficulties in communicating from one region to the other, due to their IP address scheme, leading configured networks are not functioning as they should. However, xACME wants to upgrade and exchange their network infrastructure to became more efficient and more productive for all users.
