...Switch Configuration Switch Configuration First I would unpack the switch along with all of its contents, check for any missing or damaged items and if any our found I would then contact the cisco team but if everything looks great I would then proceed. If I have all the equipment ready for the switch I would then continue on with what they call the express set up. First thing I would do is verify that no devices are connected to the switch when first initializing the setup the switch will start acting like a DHCP server. Since my network has a static IP address I will change it for the time being to DHCP. Once switch is mounted and I have all my devices prepared for it I will then power it on. As the POST initializes I can get a good indication that the switch is functioning properly. I can tell when the POST is complete by SYSLED blinking green and if it fails it would blink an amber color. Next with my laptop I will hook directly in to the switch via CAT5. From there I will log in to the switch by opening my web browser and in the address bar typing in the IP address of the switch, which by default is 10.0.0.1 then you will enter the express setup GUI will open. In the express setup GUI I will configure my VLAN ID, IP, and IP subnet mask then I will enter my routers IP to point the switch through my default gateway. Then I will enable Telnet and set the Telnet password this will allow me to access and manage my switch using the command line interface (CLI). I can...

...Use of Microsoft SharePoint for Configuration Management in IT Organizations In the contemporary business marketplace, the requirement for a technology-based system to provide the tools for global organizations to archive and manage information has become an increasingly present issue. The use of a corporate-wide portal, supported by a collaborative, content management platform, provides an Information Management System (IMS) that culminates organizational information and intellectual capital, document storage, and collaborative workspaces into a single resource, accessible through a centralized portal interface (Microsoft, 2006, p. 14). Configuration Management (CM) encompasses the management of requirements, production, testing, technical documentation, and organizational processes during the lifecycle of a software system’s development. Within Information Technology (IT) organizations, CM defines a series of systematic controls for changes and developments to the software system, which ensure the integrity and traceability of the environment and software configuration throughout the development lifecycle. The CM process is a culmination of activities and support from each level of the organization, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and guidelines for software development and production. Figure 1. Overview of Configuration and Change Management Process Integral to effective employment of CM processes is collaboration amongst the following cross-functional...

...| Switch Configuration | | | Amanda Robertson | 4/20/2014 | | I was Hired By a company as a network engineer. One of my first jobs was to purchase, install, configure and deploy a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches. This is a popular choice with the LAN Base Software, which comes with the switches. I found that this switch would be compatible with the companies needs having 48 ports, POE configurations that offer up to 15.4w per port, USB storage, 10 GB Ethernet uplink flexibility. This switch would use either copper or fiber optic cabling however I would prefer the fiber optic. The first step that I would have to take is to connect all hardware properly. “When you first set up the switch, you should use Express Setup to enter the initial IP information. This enables the switch to connect to local routers and the Internet. You can then access the switch through the IP address for further configuration” (Cisco, 2006-2010). Plug in the AC adaptor cord to the Cisco switch to power it on. The switch will go through POST and then verify that the SYST LED light blinks green rapidly. To run Express Set up mode, hold the mode button for 3 seconds, or when all lights above mode buttons turns green. Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the switch and computer, after 30 seconds launch a browser and enter the IP address 10.0.0.1 in the browser and press enter. I would then fill out all the information requested by the Express Set up Mode, the Management interface would...

...NT1110 Unit 8: Video Summary 6 Hardware Configurations I watched 4 videos on Hardware Configuration. They were, in order, Device Manager, Driver Signing, Hardware Profile and Regional and Language Options. The 1st, Device Manager went over how to manage all your hardware devices. It covers how they are configured, their settings, drivers and resources. It’s found in System Properties. After this, was Driver Signing which is Microsoft’s way of confirming that its devices and drivers have been tested and are compatible with Microsoft’s operating system. Each driver and device is checked off in the System Properties verifying its authenticity. There is also driving signing options for hardware installations with software that is not Windows. They are Ignore, which means install anyway. Warn, which means the system will prompt you to choose and Block, which blocks unsigned software. The next video was Hardware Profile. This is a list of devices enabled at the start of a computer and loading into the operating system. It too is found in System Properties. It covered how to change your hardware profile. It’s usually used for laptops. We can change what devices our system uses 1st for instance, changing the network connections when traveling. The last video was Regional and Language Options. This is found on the Control Panel. Here, you can set language or choose how you want your numbers, currency, time and dates displayed. You can go to Customize to make changes. Topics ...

...Initial Assessment Author’s Note This project is being submitted on July 27th, 2013, for N235/CET2629 Section 02 Cisco Networking Fundamentals and Routing course. Initial Assessment The ISP that I am providing services for is responsible for access of the internet for a small business that is located near them. By the use of a small Tier3 they are able to do this. An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a firm that provides internet to its subscribers that pay them a small fee for their access. In most cases ISP’s mainly focus on DSL, Cable modem, wireless and more recently, dedicated high speed interconnects such as Teir1 or fiber optics. In this case the ISP that I am helping is using a Teir3 meaning that they are only providing transit from other networks to reach the internet. There are three different ISP Tiers Tier1, Tier2 and Tier3; Tier1 is an ISP that has access to the entire Internet Region routing table only through its settlement-free peering relationships (DrPeering, 2013); A Tier2 ISP that purchases transit to reach destinations within an Internet Region (DrPeering , 2013). The basic requirements to run an ISP is having a solid backbone T1, 2 or 3; you will also need an Ethernet switch, an upstream router, a remote access server, and a local server for DNS and RADIUS (Patton Electronics, 2009). There are network layers associated ISP which consist of the Application Layer (Telnet, HTTP, FTP, SMTP), Transport Layer (TCP, UDP), Network Layer (IP), and...

...Implementing Firewall Configurations Robert Collazo Rasmussen College Implementing Firewall Configurations First he would like me to use a host firewall in which case I would then use the Windows Firewall. Windows Firewall with Advanced Security includes a host-based firewall component that is a protective boundary for the local computer, which monitors and restricts information that travels between your computer and its attached networks or the Internet. It provides an important line of defense against someone who might try to access your computer without your permission. Then he would like me to be able to configure, maintain and monitor rules for multiple profiles, notifications and authenticated exceptions and he would also like me to be able to create and manage inbound and outbound rules and with windows firewall I can accomplish both of these task because Windows Firewall with Advanced Security works by examining the source and destination addresses, source and destination ports, and protocol numbers of a packet, and then comparing them to the rules that are defined by the administrator. When a rule matches a network packet then the action specified in the rule (to allow or block the packet) is taken. Windows Firewall with Advanced Security also lets you allow or block network packets based on whether they are protected by IPsec authentication or encryption. Then I could also have capabilities of Data encryption and connection security rules with Windows Firewall...

Brockman NT1230 Client Server Networking Friday, February 10, 2012 The hardware side should be set up with raided hard disks preferable in as a raid 6. There should be at least two NICs for each server to ensure that connectivity is not lost. IT recommends that we have at least three hours of a backup power available. In order to cut costs IT would like to if more then one server is required to set up virtual servers. The server roles that we network administration recommends would include, active directory services for security to ensure that they only authorized persons are accessing the system and to help to make sure that if necessary encrypt the information so that if the system is breached the information stays secure. An active directory domain services so that IT can manage the system better. This would include user profiles and is a required to add other services that will be needed as well. An active directory domain rights service is recommend to help ensure that only the users that need certain information have access to it. This also enables us to limit what some users can do with the information such as look or modify the information in a file. An application server, so that all employees will have access to needed programs to get their jobs done. A dynamic host control protocol and a domain...

...Subnet and Router Configuration Author Note This research is being submitted on August 18th, 2013, for Christine Stagnetto-Zweig’s N235/CET2629 Section 02 Cisco Networking Fundamentals and Routing course. Subnet and Router Configuration Given the IP address 154.78.0.0 calculate the subnet masks that would offer 18 subnets, and have the ability to add 6 per year for the next five years, with each subnet having up to 580 hosts? With This IP address (154.78.0.0) in order to give my client 18 available Subnets also with an option of adding 6 more subnets for the next five years and with each subnet having up to 580 hosts per subnet. I have given this much thought and the subnet mask I would use is 255.255.252.0 this will give me 64 available subnets for growth along with 1,022 hosts per subnet I know that’s a little more than 580 hosts but in my mind having doubled that wouldn’t hurt. This will make my first host IP address be 154.78.0.1 and my last host address be 154.78.3.254 leaving 154.78.3.255 my broadcast address and 154.78.0.0 my network address.
