Design a small network connected to the Internet. Five or six computers should be enough. Think about servers you might need, such as mail, web, dns, etc. What about a print server? How will you connect to the Internet? Will you use wireless? What about a firewall? You need to prepare a diagram that shows how everything is connected and write up a brief description of the diagram explaining what components you chose, why you chose it and what it is for.

Question 2 (20 marks) – Improving network design Jim is impressed by your report and asks you to write a proposal to improve the network, although his budget is limited he tells you that if you can justify your design choices you may be able to purchase some more equipment. You will need to provide a new network design diagram in PowerPoint format, thankfully Jim has included a couple of slides with various network equipment elements that you can use...
You are given the following "informal firewall policy" details to be implemented using the firewall topology illustrated in slide # 22 (Chapter 9) Present the rules for the external and internal firewalll in a table format. a) Email may be sent using SMTP in both directions through the firewall, but it must be relayed via the DMZ mail gateway. External email must be destined for the DMZ mail server. b) Users inside may retrieve their e-mail from the DMZ mail...
For this assignment, you will create a basic network diagram and IP scheme for a small network. The diagram must contain network elements labeled as a network switch, router, firewall, and internet (or WAN). Additionally, you will need to create a simple IPv4 addressing scheme for 4 different sets of hosts on the network. Your subnets should be properly sized for their uses (IE you must have enough addresses for the hosts, but not too many addresses to be wasteful.)...
You have a customer who has asked you to create a small network of three Windows XP computers for his home office. All of the computers will need to have their network addressing information configured manually. Of the following, what addressing information can you configure for the computer on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties box? (Choose three.) A. The computer’s IP address B. The address of the default gateway C. The address of the preferred DHCP server D. The address...
Juan Garcia is the network administrator for a small company that also maintains its own web server. He has taken the following precautions. All computers are patched, have antivirus software, and have unneeded services shut down. The network has a firewall with proxy server and IDS The organization has a policy requiring passwords of ten characters in length, and they must be changed every 90 days Has Juan done enough to secure the network? What other actions would you recommend...
Create the network specified in the assignment. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A DIAGRAM OF YOUR PERSONAL HOME NETWORK! Start with a house. You'll need to enlarge the house (you will learn how to do this by reading the software's help topics or by experimentation) to be able to put all "inside" devices inside the house graphic. You may substitute a large rectangle to represent the house -- and place all "inside" devices inside the rectangle. This house must be labeled...
Figure 1 LAN Subnet: 192.168.40.0124 LAN Switch Internet External Firewall Internal Firewall DMZ Subnet: 192.168.10.0/24 LAN devices Web Server running on port 80 IDS (Snort VM) Remote Access Server (Nginx VM) (OpenVPN) Overview Medium to large organisations typically consist of services that are accessed/consumed from external parties for various purposes. As such, a DMZ is a suitable solution to segregate such services from internal networkis). The network diagram provided (Figure 1) illustrates the IT environment of a medium organisation, which...
1. Let’s consider the network shown in Figure 1 where Snort is deployed. 1.1: In Figure 1, why is Snort deployed in the DMZ instead of the Internal Network? (9 points) 1.2: In Figure 1, say True or False to the following statement: “Snort can see both incoming packets from the left firewall and outgoing packets from the right firewall”. (5 points) 1.3: In Figure 1, assume a packet P matches the following Snort rule when the packet is analyzed...
Scenaric im runs a small consulting firm, Soylent Co, with 30 employees spread between accounts, human resources, administration, and engineering. Jim's son, Tony, knows a bit about computers and so Jim has asked him to upgrade the company network. You went to high school with Tony. You receive a panicked phone call from Tony telling you that he has spent the last two days trying to find why his father's newly upgraded network is having significant stability problems. You've agreed...
In Option #1, you have been hired as an IT expert by a small firm to set up an office for 20 staff members, half of whom will work with desktop computers and the remaining with laptop computers using wireless networks. The office will use one networked laser printer, accessible from both the desktop and laptop computers. The desktop computers will use a wired network, while the laptop computers will employ wireless network to print and access the Internet. In...
