CIS245 Network Research Project
You work for the ABC Networking Company and you have been hired by the network Administrator of the Concord ECPI campus to conduct a network analysis of the schools network. This includes the following:
1. A logical mapping of the site created in Visio. This will include a generalized site map of both floors including a logical network diagram. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO INCLUDE A PHYICAL LAYOUT OF EVERY PC! It will include the number of PCs on each network (subnet) and logical divisions of the network. The naming / numbering scheme of the workstations and servers, the workstation’s OS’s, server’s OS and purpose (including roles and features), infrastructure info (such as domains, child parent domains, and sites). Do not forget the wireless network!
2. Summarized Security layout (DMZ, Firewalls, VPN’s, VLANs, Virus Scanners, etc.)
3. Server Schema info (user naming schemes, groups, OU’s, policies , profiles, data storage, network usage, quotas, etc.)
4. Software implementation methods (how are systems installed and updated?)
5. Finally I want you to ask what works well and what does not and then contemplated the network design. If you were to be hired as a consultant for the school and could suggest possible improvements (not going to crazy) what would they be and why. Support your suggestions with data (research, cost, performance measures, etc...)
Research Deliverables format!
1. Cover page with the course number (CIS245), the title “Network Research Project”, the date, and your name
2. Page 2. This will be the Logical Map of the network in Visio. This should detail the separate networks, the number of workstations and servers on each, their OS’s, how they get their IP addresses (static or DHCP provided)
3. Page 3. In addition to the above information you need to state the purpose of any server on the network and what roles and
