NTC 406 Week 2 Learning Team: Generic Manufacturing Company Project, Part I: WAN Assessment
Refer to the Project Overview and the attached documents provided in Week One.
Your team, working directly with the CIO of Generic Manufacturing Company, will conduct an in depth analysis of the Wide Area Network utilized by Generic Manufacturing Company and all of their plant locations. Your manager has requested you create a presentation which will be used to present to the executive committee and CIO who are not very technical.
Using Service Request 01 in the documents you downloaded in Week One, provide a WAN Assessment for Generic Manufacturing Company.
Create a 4- to 6-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® WAN Assessment presentation including the following:
- Outline of all the WAN components and their connectivity, including an inventory of all equipment and connectivity by location, as well as a survey of network applications running over the network
- Videos, audio, photos, diagrams, or graphs as appropriate
- Substantial speaker notes to elaborate on the key points of your plan, or insert audio narration into your presentation
Submit your assignment using the Assignment Files tab.
NTC 406 Week 2 Individual: TCP/IP Network
Your manager has tasked you with creating a Remote Employee Connection guide for IT. This guide will assist IT in setting up remote (work-from-home) employees to access the company’s Intranet. These employees will use a VPN connection from their PC in home to a remote VPN server located in the employee’s work campus.
Create a 2- to 3-page guide using Visio® including the following:
- WAN access options from the home to an ISP
- WAN access options from the work campus to another ISP (assuming a different ISP is used)
- An end-to-end (from PC to VPN server) network diagram showing routers, switches, hosts and connections. Show on the diagram your choice of one of options considered; i.e., WAN access from home, or WAN access from work.
- Major TCP/IP protocols with which the home PC is involved, from the moment it boots up until its first IPv4 packet reaches the VPN server.
- Illustration of how the first IPv4 is forwarded through the network, showing:
- Source and destination IPv4 addresses
- Source and destination MAC addresses for the initial 2 hops in the header of the packet
- Entries in the routers’ forwarding tables
- Major routing protocols involved in building the forwarding tables
- Repeat the last two items in the case of IPv6
Note: It is recommended that Visio® be used to create network diagrams for the presentation.
Copy and paste your network diagrams into Microsoft® Word.
Submit your assignment using the Assignment Files tab. Do not submit Visio® files.
NTC 406 Week 3 Learning Team: Generic Manufacturing Company Project, Part II: Troubleshooting FAQ
Refer to the Project Overview and the attached documents provided in Week One.
Identify and mitigate WAN network issues for Generic Manufacturing Company using Service Request 02 – Legacy Problems.
Building on the WAN analysis you conducted in Week Two for Generic Manufacturing Company, your team will identify potential problems and propose possible solutions.
Create a 1-page Troubleshooting FAQ document using Microsoft® Word that will be presented to the executive committee and CIO who are not very technical. Include the following:
- Potential problems in terms of outdated technologies, Quality of Service (QoS), performance, and other areas identified in your assessment
- Solutions proposed
Submit your assignment using the Assignment Files tab.
NTC 406 Week 3 Individual: Internet Transport Services
You are a Network Engineer for an IT consulting company. Your current client is a software developer. Recently they created a software which is capable of file transfers, voice chat, and videoconferencing. Your manager has tasked you with creating an Internet Transport Services proposal plan for the client’s new software.
Write a 1- to 2-page Internet Transport Services proposal using Microsoft® Word, include the following:
- Identify at least four candidate transport protocols. Compare and contrast them in a table.
- Propose which transport protocol(s) to be used for data, voice, and video transport respectively and the rationale.
- Identify an existing similar software in the market place and research on the transport protocols used in that software.
- Reasons for the difference(s) from your choice (where applicable).
