3: Network Layer: The use of network layer is switching and routing technologies. It demonstrates logical path and virtual circuits for transferring data from one node to

A Wide Area Network ( WAN) is a computer network covering multiple distance areas, which may spread across the entire world. WANs often connect

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.

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

(Microsoft, 2009). The laptops will also have a wireless network interface card (NIC) installed. The wireless network cards will allow the computers to communicate with the other computers and server on the wireless star network by using a common communication language protocol called TCP IP. The TCP IP is not a solitary protocol when, in fact, it is several protocols. The client server network within wireless star topology will consist of one ZyXEL Prestige 660M D1 DSL modem (Dell, 2009). One Linksys Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable DSL Router (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). Two netgear fs105 5 port Ethernet switches (Netgear, 1996-2009, and a Linksys wireless-G access (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). RJ-45 cables will connect the Ethernet switches to the server and connect the Linksys wireless-G access point WAP54G (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.) To the Ethernet switches. The Linksys wireless-G access will connect the desktops, laptops, and printers to the network. The star topology accompanied with client server architecture and wireless local area network (WLAN) is well suited for Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting given that Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting will have

We have chosen an extended star topology connection using a router to designate the VLANS and two 24 port switches to provide the most cost effective setup for this small office network. Being the very small nature of the setup we are using a class C network of 192.168.0.1 that we will designate the first 20 IP addresses of each VLAN as static to support any servers we might install as well as printers we may install in the future. The other 106 host will be set to DHCP for the computers and allows additional computers in the future. The rest of this paper will discuss why we have made these choices.

This project aims to provide the network design for a Big College. The project will demonstrate the ability to provide a network design to arrive at Server Network and Active Directory Infrastructure. The proposal demonstrates the critical thinking skills which involves using network analysis tool to achieve a technically feasible and reasonable business solution for Big College

In this project, a big network is established by combining LAN and VLAN networks. Here, a big network is created for a University, which has three colleges such as, one for technology, second for Medical and

Because of the diverse network types, there need’s to be a way to interconnect various heterogenous networks. Switching and routing functions are implemented to establish proper loop free links, efficient and to the fact that networks aren’t static but have

What I hope to learn by doing this project is that given business goals and constraints, apply the top down network design process and design a network based on those business goals and constraints. From the book, at least from chapter 1, that the top-down process brings together information on goals, but also the importance of using systematic methods for network design. Using these well-defined, systematic methods will benefit in understand the changing technologies and customer requirements.

In Routers and Switches we learned several things such as: what is a Router, why we need Routers, what is the importance of a Router. We also learned what VLSM is and how to do it and use it. Throughout CCNA we learned how to configure a Router; the different types of Routing protocols and most importantly what, when and how to use those protocols in the field. Finally I will discuss Switches in how they are use to set up a LAN. Throughout this paper these topic will be discuss to cover what was learned through class lecture and text book (CCNA study guide by Lammle) and actually applied through hands on labs which were done with actual Cisco Router and Switches within a working LAN and Ethernet connection

Network designs have evolved from it early state to complex designs and features. The way we see network has also change from a basic layout to sometimes complex and detailed layouts. Today Cisco, an American multinational corporation that focuses on designing, manufacturing and selling network equipment, has set the foundation of much of the knowledge of networking and is held has one of the top networking companies. Example of Cisco’s presence in network design models would be their three-layer network design which includes the Access, Distribution, and Core layers. Cisco’s equipment is also held as one of the “top dog” in the Information Technology Networking field. Cisco manufacture many different types of network equipment which can be break into two major groups, commercial and residential. The main focus of this paper will be commercial equipment and not residential level equipment. A major part of network today would be the wireless side of the network due to the major increase in mobile device such as tables, smart phones, and laptops. There are numerous portions of the wireless side of the network which includes the Wi-Fi signal technology, the wireless access point’s hardware, and the technology in uses to make the Wi-Fi faster, reliably, and securer. There are several significant influences when considering a WAN connections, these include but not limit to the purpose of the WAN, Traffic requirements, and the geographic scope of the WAN. Before one

NGN Co. is one of the leading and fastest growing online consulting corporations in the biosphere specializing in the telecommunications and networking industry (Plunkett, 2014). Based on the dynamism with which technology is advancing, the number of expected and the often set goals are increasing which must be achieved in an attempt to keep the company up and running. One of the major areas that need proper attention and updating is the networking department. Maintaining the highest level of dynamism and security in the integrated network is critical especially with the recent developments in technology (Lavan, et.al, 2007). Further, the company has recently experienced growth in their customer base and size and as such increasing the possible challenges most likely to face the network. As such, it would be necessary for the company to develop a more integrative network architecture design to continue enjoying the positive growth both currently and in the days to come. This paper seeks to present a more concrete network architecture design that improves on the current network infrastructure of NGN Co. to integrate the most recent wireless technologies for better and more reliable connectivity within the organization and to the outside world (Walters et al., 2007). This does not only take focus on providing better service for their

The main Moto of this task is to develop IT services for an organisation as they required and which are essential. The main theme of this report is to know about the network basics, configurations, trouble shooting techniques, creating DHCP, DNS services, setting up with IP addresses, Ad structure and assign group policies, firewall configurations and virtualization, backup facility and disaster recovery.
