LAN Topologies
Case Project I
The changes in equipment that would be required to bring Old-Tech Corporation up to date and solve the shared bandwidth problem would be to change their network scheme. To go from a Star topology to and extended star topology, which their logical topology would be a ring.
We would have to buy five wireless nic-cards to start to accommodate the cabling issue in the warehouse as well as a wireless access point and a wireless router.
Case Project II
EBiz.com would do well with a Switched Logical topology using a physical star topology.
The Network will be Server based running four or five servers each with a certain task. The network will host at least 250 computers not including the servers with room to accommodate at least 50 more computers for future employees. I will implement a number of switches to accommodate the three or more floors that we need to access.
Case Project III
ENorm Inc. would do well with a Mesh Topology; we would use existing wiring closets to run the new cables needed to setup the network. We would also setup the wireless WAN to connect the two offices together. The network will be server based and will have a separate data base server at each location to handle application and data at each location, but accessible to all who need to have access to it. We would have switches in place to handle the necessary bandwidth we decide to go

    To solve the shared bandwidth problem with the company network new equipment is necessary. First off the 10mbps Ethernet hub should be replaced with a 100mbps, due to its better performance. An extended star topology with a logical switch topology will be the best setup for the situation. As for the five new computers a wireless approach will be best. For this method each new addition will need to be equipped with a wireless NIC (network interface card). To connect these to the network a wireless router and a wireless access point will also be needed.…

    For this network, I initially projected that one server would be sufficient to perform all the tasks, however, in order to make the network work more efficiently and reduce occasions for system downtime it would be more conducive to use multiple servers. I recommend that we use 3 servers. The main server would be the DHCP server. The second would be the email server, and the third for file sharing and printing.…

    ACME should use a star topology so that each site will have direct connection to the headquarters and network administrators. With the sales and engineering offices they will link up to the headquarter over a WAN with a VPN configuration with IPSec and L2TP for their security. I find that the company would need to have three T1 lines that connect to the headquarters and the facility in China can connect through satellite. This can help ACME stay up to date and will allow room for growth if the company needed.…

Describe what network device or devices you would recommend they purchase and explain why.

    I would suggest installing a Local Area Network, which will supply networking capabilities to computers in the company. The set up for installation requires a modem and wireless routers to be able to connect all computers to the internet, using Ethernet cables or wireless card connections will allow all computers access to the internet via a broadband connection. Each computer or client will be able to access all necessary information on the network this can be achieved by utilizing file sharing will allowing that company to dictate who has access to what information on the network. I would also suggest printer sharing, which will allow the company to dictate who has access to the printer. I would also utilize TCP/IP Protocols; which are the rules that allow computers to connect to one another and that enable computers and peripheral devices to exchange information.…
