Introduction An application that runs at the network application layer and above is referred to a network service. These services are important because they provide data storage, manipulation, as well as presentation. UMUC College needs to automatically assign IP addresses to the devices that are connected to its network. Additionally, the DHCP server help in centrally managing its address space, as any changes to network configurations will be done centrally to the server. Currently, emails have become one of the official communication means in many organizations; therefore, UMUC

Configuration of the DNS server will be performed appropriately, so as to guarantee that the incoming mail will be send to the correct host. DHCP Server- DHCP server will automatically allocate IP addresses and other network configuration related information to the hosts connected to the UMUC College. It is clear that students will be connecting and interconnecting to and from the College’s wireless network. Therefore, the server will give short leases to the devices that request for IP addresses. This will make it possible for such IP addresses to be reassigned to other host machines that will need to connect to the organization’s wireless network.
The network will have two DHCP servers and the IP addresses space for each subnet will be distributed between the two servers. This is important because, in case one server fails, the host machines can continue to obtain IP addresses and other network related configuration information from the second server [2]. In order to avoid the possibility of having more than one host machines been allocated the IP address from the two DHCP servers, each server will have its own range of IP address space to distribute. In case more than one device is assigned the same IP address, it is only one machine that will be able to access the internet and communicate with others that are connected to the organization’s
In the Network Design Paper I will explain how the University has recently leased a building in Adelphi, Maryland. The measurements of the University is 240 feet long, 95 feet wide and 30 feet tall and broken down to two different floors. This University will be used for education purposes of course, the facility will be made of six instructional labs, seven offices, library, five classrooms, a student lobby and a computer lab. There will be a server room on each floor. The purpose of this paper is to explain the design of the networks in this building. The student accessed computers will be set up on a separate network than the network that they staff will be using.
37) DHCP ________ are configurable parameters that determine which subnets the DHCP server will serve.
When you type in a web address, e.g.www.google.com. DNS associates with the domain name, translates into IP address (for example 192.168.154.70 is the IP for google.com) and directs your Internet connection to the correct website.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol): Stand alone network service used to assign the ip address and other related configuration automatically.
The main base for the protection of your own you have to be a security think (what I mean thinking any security you have the same way of thinking that enjoyed by penetration) experts
Ans: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network.
There are 3 security features about Hamachi: (1) Encrypted communications:Secure communications using AES 256-bit encryption, over public and private networks; (2) Centralized access controls: Control network access and usage, including password management, network authentication, network locking, and ongoing network membership; (3) Network / client configuration management:Configure default settings for individual networks and clients, with support for full, restricted and minimal client interface modes
In the transport topology, each advanced PC is joined with a primary link alluded to as the transport. Hence, as a result, each computerized PC is specifically associated with each distinctive advanced PC inside of the system.
Upon reviewing Kudler Fine Food network, it has been determined that a major network overhaul will need to be conducted to make sure that Kudler is brought up to speed with the latest technology. This is very important because if Kudler is unable to keep up with the technological advances then the company will fall behind. Making sure that Kudler is not only able to keep up with the advances with network systems it is also important to install the proper systems so that no money is wasted. What is meant by this is that if the improper systems and storage units are installed to only handle data over the next year this is
Port 7435: This port is not associated with any particular services and should be closed unless it is associated and used.
2. In Exercise 5, why would the lack of a static IP address be a problem, considering that DHCP clients use broadcast transmissions to locate DHCP servers?
The networking of the system is recommended after a system study and the fact that there has been a 100% expansion of the demand for the system- from 5 to 50 have been noted. It is also shown that as of now there are machines that are stand alone with windows 7 operating system. The task is to provide a network connectivity that would provide direct connections between the employees, and be centralized in the operation. This essentially requires the creation of a network. This means that all the computers must be installed with a network card and this would be the case with windows 7. The question then comes is if there must be windows networking or use other protocols. We can also partly use the most modern practical solutions.
Something that really struck out to me was the topic of networking. In Chapter 2, author, Don Raskin goes into depth about the importance of networking. What Raskin says about networking really makes a lot of sense because it is much easier for companies to make hiring decisions based on recommendations from a trusted source than hiring someone through the interviewing process. Employers can get an idea of who the interviewees are, but having people recommended to them makes their job way easier. Networking is something that I will definitely do to my fullest when I look for an internship/job. Getting to know many influential people that will help me better my career will really set me aside from others. Having as many connections as possible
In this article they exemplify on the the NICS system, and how it works and what it is for. The information I'd like to use for this article is when it states how NICS is all about saving lives and the protection of people from harm. The way they think they can prevent that from happening is not letting guns fall into the wrong hands. They go through ones background check to see if had made poor choices in their life. This article is different because it provides you all the information you need about NICS. Other articles might mention it here and there but they're not so in debt, like this one.
