Netw410 Week2

Lab Report 1. What be the parentage goals? (10 points) patronage Goals for this project include addressing the growth of on-campus and online students. To accomplish these goals a centralized legion located in crude IT wing of the formation building providing online sustenance of all data. Replacing the PBX-based telephone transcription with a VoIP based system and connecting all buildings providing higher(prenominal)-speed wired net connection for all rapidity offices will be implemented along with controlled radio glide slope for students.Wireless access for students and general population will be provided outside the building. These steps are necessary to build a solid infrastructure for the cyberspace and suffer for and to plan growth. Funding has been established to purchase land 15 miles past and as the campus expands this will be the next site for expansion.The actual business goals for this project is to offer new and better services and support, open the netw ork to key constituents, build relationships and information accessibility to a new level, as a basis for the network organizational model, avoid business hoo-hah caused by network security problems, avoid business disruption caused by natural and unnatural disaster, modernize outdated technologies and reduce telecommunications and network costs, including command processing overhead time associated with separate networks for voice, data and video. 2.What are the business constraints? (10 points) The business constraints are corresponding all companies and they include budgets, personnel, policies and instrument. None of which have been defined in our soma lab scenario. Budget costs include equipment purchases, software licensing, maintenance placement and staff training. Personnel constraints related to the business constraints to be considered include the availableness of living trained personnel and if existing personnel moldiness collar excess training to implement and m aintain the proposed network changes.Policies of the organization mustiness(prenominal) be considered and since this a community college determination of protocols, standards and vendor selection must be determined. The final business constraint addressed should include the schedule of the implementation as not to interfere with veritable operation by faculty, staff and students. 3. What are the technical goals? (10 points) Technical goals of the project include up responsiveness and throughput of the network as many users are added along with additional applications, especially the VoIP based system.Simplifying network management is obtained by centralizing the server(s) and rest in a newly built IT wing in the administration building. By this centralization and backup improvement should be obtained to the security and reliableness of applications and data along with decreased expected downtime. By offering high speed wired network connections to each faculty office and control led wireless access for the students modernizing outdated technologies shines as one of the technical goals. With all these proposed improvements scalability of the network is achieved. . What are the technical constraints? (10 points) The current system equipment must coexist with the new equipment and as already discovered there must be change magnitude bandwidth. existent wiring should either be upgraded to accommodate upgraded speeds. The new or expanded network must not interfere with the current applications. any(prenominal) new network or expanded network should also go through IPv6 compatibility. 5. Diagram the existing network. (10 points) The actual Visio drawing is also submitted 6. Describe the existing network traffic. (10 points)Current network traffic is at 73% or more utilization based on a five minute honest with sustained spikes to 100% on the Cisco FastHub 400s installed in each building. or so 42 students are logged into each wireless access point. This is creating lag propagation and most assuredly dropped packets. While dropping packets with data is troublesome it is calamitous for voice or video. According to our text there should be no shared Ethernet segments that are saturated (no more than 40% network utilization. ) The current system is working at 73% utilization. Network traffic must be improved. 7.Complete this table for all of the applications that currently run over the network.
