Introduction
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
Wireless network infrastructure has become just another connection method for corporate and home users alike. This rapid acceptance can be attributed from:
In this scenario I will be providing information associated with the creation of a WAN for ACME Manufacturing. This business has several locations spread out all over America and requires a WAN to connect their locations in America with their newly build plant in China. With the headquarters and engineering offices in Atlanta, which are right across the street from each other, the plan would make sense to connect all communication here. There are also distribution offices in New York, Chicago, and Phoenix which will have to be connected to this network to attend the weekly company meetings and have access to information
During this section of my blog you would be able to view all the different types of typical services provided by networks and the purpose of each where I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them all.
It is generally limited to a geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building. Rarely are LAN computers more than a mile apart. In a typical LAN configuration, one computer is designated as the file server. It stores all of the software that controls the network, as well as the software that can be shared by the computers attached to the network. Computers connected to the file server are called workstations. The workstations can be less powerful than the file server, and they may have additional software on their hard drives. On many LANs, cables are used to connect the network interface cards in each computer; other LANs may be wireless.
Outline a wireless network and technology that you use regularly. The WLANs which are derived from the IEEE 802.11 standards, and marketed under the Wi-Fi trademark name. The WLANs security is neither forthright/candid nor simple, and it is continuously varying. Even though, as WLAN increase client output, they also expose the networks to a new group of potential hackers. With the present inherent security weakness of the 802.11 standard, all companies, small, medium or large, need to find out their security conditions derived from the applications using the WLAN. The standards also provide requirements for high-speed networks that support most modern-day applications. What sorts of security issues do
How would you define a network? What is bandwidth? What is a NIC? List three types of media used for network connections.
There are three kinds of MQTT-SN components: clients, gateways and forwarders. MQTT-SN clients connect themselves to a MQTT server via a MQTT-SN gateway using the MQTT-SN protocol. A MQTT-SN gateway may or may not be integrated with a MQTT server. In case of a stand-alone gateway, the MQTT protocol is used between the MQTT server and the MQTT-SN gateway. Its main function is the translation between MQTT and MQTT-SN. MQTT-SN clients can also access a gateway via a forwarder in case the gateway is not directly attached to the network. The forwarder simply encapsulates the MQTT-SN frames it receives on the sensor network side and forwards them unchanged to the gateway; in the opposite direction, it decapsulates the frames it receives from the
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,

This report fulfills the specific requirement for documentation as specified in FIT 5083 Assignment 1. In this technical report, we will identify the various steps and techniques used in deployment of wireless network. Initially, what is networking or network infrastructure? Networking mean to connect two or more devices and configure them in such a way that they can communicate with each other. In networking, network infrastructure means to connect the software and hardware part rather than actual connection between two devices. Now days, wireless network connections are highly on demand because it’s easy to access and it does not require any cabling structure.
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.
Cisco is undoubtedly a front-runner in the very competitive world of networking equipment. To maintain its leadership position, Cisco needs to develop innovative products and technologies all the time. By 2007, its two core product categories, routers and switches are responsible for approximately 65% of the revenue generation for Cisco. Complex networking product like core router CRS-1 and branding campaign “The human network effect” helps Cisco to become one of the biggest companies in the world.
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
Cisco Systems is one of the fastest growing companies in the world, selling devices that connect computers to the Internet and to other networks. Cisco’s products are being replaced continuously, so extensive training of employees and customers is needed. Cisco recognizes that every member of its team, since the employees until
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.
