Question

Complete the following short answer questions:

1. Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server which will contain a wired connection to both digital storage media as well as an optical device. Both the client and the server will connect to their respective workgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 1,700 meters apart. They need to communicate at 500 Mbps. Your design should specify the transmission link between the switches.

2. Add to your design in the previous question. Add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate with the server and need only 100 Mbps in transmission speed. Again, your design should specify the locations of switches and the transmission link between the switches.

3. An organization with 500 staff members has four main offices; sales, service, finance, and human resources. The new network security engineer discovers that all staff members have unnecessary access to all resources on the network. What network configuration options do the engineer have to correct this issue?

4. A business has two 10Mbps switches and needs to increase the connectivity speed to 20Mbps, describe the most cost-effective means by which this can be accomplished?

5. How should Ethernet switches be logically arranged on the network to be cost-effective? Why is this important?

6. What primary differences are there between managed and unmanaged switches?

7. In what instances would it make sense to use an unmanaged switch?

8. What are the best means for mitigating the single points for failure on an Ethernet network?

9. Describe the primary differences between single-mode and multimode fiber. Provide two business case uses for each type and explain why each fiber solution would be appropriate.

10. When implementing SNMP for managed switches, what security planning principle must be considered.

NOTE

AS PER CHEGG GUIDLELINES WE SHOULD DO ONLY ONE OF THE GIVEN QUESTION .BUT

I SOLVED MORE QUESTIONS THAT IS (1,2,3,6,7,8,10)

The basic difference is

Unmanaged switches have a set behavior that works from the time they're powered on until they're powered off. They don't have configuration interface. Just plug & play.

Managed switches normally have settings that can be modified remotely. This might include turning ports on or off, managing port speeds, throttling, segmenting and more.

7ANS)

When the network traffic is light, all that is required is a way for the data to pass from one device to another. There is no need for prioritizing the packets, as all the traffic will flow unimpeded. In this instance, It makes sense to use unmanaged switch

8ANS

To deal with single points of failure is to install backup links.This adds redundancy tothe network and increases reliability.

->Choosing a good SNMP Community String-

->Setting up SNMP View

-> SNMP community with access-list

-> ACL on interfaces

-> Security planning:Least permissions in access control principle must be considered becausethe SNMP allows the manager to contact the agents for individual managed devices. Manageableswitches cost significantly more than unmanaged switches, but the reduction in managementlabor costs makes SNMP-compliant switches mandatory in large networks
