...Network Design Consultation Terrence Clap CIS-175 Karan Malik March 13 , 2013 Network Design Consultation Network diagrams are schematic displays of project schedule activities and the interdependencies between these activities. When developed properly, this graphical view of a project’s activities conveys critical schedule characteristics required to effectively analyze and adjust schedules – thus resulting in accurate and feasible schedules. This document addresses what should be considered in the development of a network diagram, how network diagrams are created, and how they may be analyzed to identify necessary corrective actions and ensure optimal schedule definition. Development stage – initial development Function of routers The routers in the network provide a gateway between the networks. Router 1 will provide a gateway to the Internet, Router 2 will provide a gateway between the workgroup networks; file server web server and the Isolation LAN, which will connect the administration network and the isolation LAN. The routers will select the best path using a metric which can be calculated on Hop count, bandwidth, delay, reliability and Load. The metric hop count is used by OSPF (Open Shortest Path...
