[SOLVED] fundamentals networking ( task 1)
Im studying for my Computer Science class and need an explanation.
Week 1 Introduction to Networking
What is networking? In order to deploy a network to meet the needs of a small to medium size business, you must be able to match key business needs with technological support. As a contractor you will identify the key features of mainstream Ethernet deployment and configuration, and build a network from scratch. You will start by getting familiar with basic networking infrastructure.
Identify fundamental features of networks.
·Watch the foundations of networking video on Lynda.com:
Next, take some time to familiarize yourself with basic networking equipment.
·Do some research on the following terms: Network Interface Card, Network Switch, Network Hub, Network Router, Ethernet, MAC Address, IPV4, TCP/IP, Category 6 cabling, Power Over Ethernet.
·Prepare a basic network layout using all of the aforementioned terms.
·Research the OSI model
Last, create a simple network layout featuring the following guidelines:
·Create a small network layout with 10 PCs using the technologies you have just explored. Explain whether it uses DHCP vs Static addressing, which category cabling, and why.
·Create a set of guidelines for building a small network using Ethernet technology.
Please select a project from the following list to work towards over the next 10 weeks:
List of projects:
·Build an IT infrastructure for a medium size company that does accounting
·Build an IT infrastructure for a school of 600 students
·Construct a network for the new Stratford Hospital Center
For your task, provide responses to the following in a Word document and submit them:
- Select a project
- Explain why you selected this project
- Based on your project selection, explain what requirements and restrictions would be encountered
- Explain how you would go about constructing this project using an engineering approach
