Your friend Susan owns an auto dealership and is upgrading the network in the offices. She asks you to help monitor the project. Research the common network architecture devices and create a list of the devices your friend should expect to see in the "parts list" from the company that is completing the design and install (e.g., routers, gateways, switches, and hubs). Include a description of what each component does and how it interacts with other components. Each device on your list is available in a different quality and price. In a minimum of 175 words, share with the class which devices you would suggest to your friend and why.

You are assigned to create a network infrastructure for a medium size business making physical widgets (term in the business world for manufacturing something unknown). There is a central office that has 25 workers for centralized billing and all office computers have common office applications. The widgets are built in a home based system where parts are shipped directly to each individual home to be built. Each completed widget must be checked in on a company owned computer at each home location. There are 30 home assembly employees that have a company issued computer to use in building widgets. Your task is to design a network infrastructure to accommodate the needs. You will need to research your solution and justify the design with your research.
What kind of network designs, if any, can be implemented?

Basic concepts and benefits behind computer networks (Discuss the basic concepts behind computer networks and the benefits of computer networking). Think of this as an introductory section. Follow slide 1.1 Concepts & Benefits of Networks, Network Scopes (Network types), Network Architecture (P2P and Client Server), so that you know what to cover. We don’t need lots of detail for this task – just cover the key points. We have later tasks for going into detail.
For network management and troubleshooting, you may use a range of industry standards. In the event that a workstation has performance issues or connection dropouts, please detail the actions you will take and the resources you will have available to you. The OSI model may be used as a framework for analysis and troubleshooting.
Design a LAN for a 4 storey office building with 40 staff on each level. It is anticipated that the average network traffic generated by each active user is estimated to be around 15-20 Mbps. The Wired LAN infrastructure needs to be designed to support the maximum peak traffic, and in addition, support the Wireless LAN with additional 20% maximum traffic.
A wireless network idea based on infrastructure is known as an infrastructure-based wireless network.Aside from providing infrastructure, what else does the network do?In the interest of the whole network Isn't it obvious what this means?
Computer Science Dawn Company is an IT company. They started their business in New York and are moving to other cities. As such, their headquarters branch is located in New York. You have just learnt that they want to expand their network infrastructures by having other branches in Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. Each branch have several departments. The company want each department to have its own subnet. In total, Dawn Company have 240 employees. Each employee owns a computer. The anticipated growth of the company is to have 2400 employees by the year 2030. All the employees must be able to communicate with each other within the company. The company’s HQ connects to the company’s ISP. One of the branches is recommended to make use of a switched local network that have to connect the departments. Within this branch, you are therefore required to make use of VLANs. As an expert in network administration, you have been hired by this company to design, configure and…
