Cis 175 Assignment 1

Mini Case 1: Smith, Smith, Smith, and Smith is a regional accounting firm that is putting up a new headquarters building. The building will have a backbone network that connects eight LANs (two on each floor). The company is very concerned with network errors. What advice would you give regarding the design of the building and network cable planning that would help reduce network errors?

Each site slated for secure indoor wireless had a site survey done. The site survey method was top-down with the roof as the starting point. As with most site surveys the locations for equipment was identified and the cabling pathways were determined. In addition, a wireless survey was performed to identify possible sources of interference and find best install sites for AP’s. This was performed using wireless analysis tools to get the best installation places.

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.

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 we have determined that there could be roughly anywhere from 10 – 18 people on I believe a wired LAN is your most logical step. Based upon previous installations in the building we are given a few options to consider including cable, DSL and fiber. Fiber is going to give you the fastest speeds while something like DSL is going to save you the most money. If money is not a concern and based on that fiber is already installed a lot of the upfront cost of the installation is already covered, fiber would be the most recommended route especially if you plan to expand your business to more employees as fiber will handle the extra load more efficiently than DSL or cable. Typically DSL is going to give only up to 40Mbps while Fiber can offer anywhere from 150 to 500Mbps.

My recommendation for your business is the Peer to peer network. For the computers to be able to "see" each other on the network you will need a hub or a switch with an adequate number of ports, and a Ethernet cat 5 cables to connect the computers and servers to the switch. As far as security, you will need to make sure that each system is up to date on the antivirus and is always on.

Establishing a high speed and reliable lighthouse area network will significantly boost the bed and breakfast’s appeal for guests, and help bring the lighthouse into the digital era. Using a wireless mesh network will be more flexible and cheaper than an old-fashioned wired local area network (LAN). That is beside the fact that wireless networks are easy to install, expand, and have the additional advantage of presenting a portable wireless link to the bed and breakfast residents.

When considering the “Network Type” I recommend a mix of both wired for the printers and computers that will stay per mentally at the office, and

The Infrastructure deployment scenario will allow for wireless access points (WAPs) to be connected to the existing wired network allowing employees with wireless devices the ability to access the company’s network. This is a commonly used method of enhancing an existing wired network while adding the benefit of mobility to employees and is a cost-effective way to upgrade to a wireless local area network (WLAN). On-the-go employees can potentially improve job productivity while in the Conference Center by having the ability to wirelessly access company printers, file

As of right now, it is fairly small, but we would like room for additional growth as the program gains popularity. The basic requirements are two main instructor computers, 10 student laptops, and one wireless printer. Internet access will be needed for each of these computers as well. An additional building will later be provided at an alternate location that will need to be connected to this main network. A Juniper Router will be needed, since the operating system the computers will be running will be JUNOS. We will configure the network to be run on the IPv6 addressing system, to prevent the need of reconfiguration when the mass crossover to IPv6 occurs. The network needs to be configured to add any additional devices that will be needed in the future as the program grows.

For a medium sized food store, the computer network design can be set up rather simple. The computers can be set up in a line, for the cash registers, with computers in the office being at one end. "Networks are usually classified using 3 properties: Topology, Protocol, and Architecture." (Network Structure, 2001) The bus topology, where the computers are attached to a common cable called a bus or backbone, is appropriate for a line of computerized cash registers and the office since they are all arranged in a single line. The protocol would specify the system requirements, such as the bar codes of the products being sold telling what the products are and prices, coupon policy, and other policies indicated for the selling of

The purpose of this paper is to start redesigning the network for the small company. They are requesting that the budget is kept as minimal as possible. The company Gadgets INC. has many file and print servers that they would like to remain online in the newly done network. This network has 100 workstations. With the workstations they have 20 Windows 8 computers, 60 Windows 7 computers, 20 Windows XP computers and four Windows Server 2003 machines. We have been told from the ISP our internet access will be configured for us on the site. The ISP has routers and will be giving us a static IP address. The agreement is that we have only one leased line from our site to the ISP, the provided address is 64.249.169.4.

The aim of this report is to propose a robust wireless and wired network (Intranet) to cover the entire Eastern Bay College keeping in mind the cost effectiveness of the network. The Intranet should work efficiently with minimal effects on the operations of the College if in case something goes wrong.

The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point will be used for this project. These access points will be placed on the ceilings of hallways, classrooms, and study lounges in order, to maximize connection rates.
