...LAN Topologies Lord Bones IT240 Jan 01, University of Phoenix - AXIA College LAN Topologies With this assignment I will discuss some topologies of a LAN as requested by questions 11, 12, and 13, chapter three from the textbook Local Area Networks. A “LAN (Local Area Network) topology is the appearance or layout of a network” (Regan, 2006). There are two forms of topologies of a network, namely, the physical- and logical topology with each its own types of topologies. The physical topology is what someone can see with his or her own eyes, i.e. a workstation, servers, cables, etc. while the logical topology is the dataflow of the network, how the data is moving from one point to another (Regan, 2006). In the following I will describe two physical topology types and one logical topology type, following the scenarios in the question’s mentioned above. In the first scenario there are four servers in the network with no hub present. The first (A) server is connected to the second (B), third (C), and the fourth (D). The second is connected to the third and fourth, while the third is connected to the fourth. (See figure 1.) This type of physical topology is called a Mesh Topology. A Mesh Topology is a topology where “every computer is linked to every other computer” (Regan, 2006). With this type of topology there is no hub or a similar device present. Also this type is difficult to install and certainly when it has to be reconfigured when a new computer is added to the network...

...LAN Topologies It 240 Week 2 Assignment: LAN Topologies IT/240 Week 2 Assignment 1. Case Project 2-1 With a network of 50 computers I will use the Ring Topology to upgrade this network. With this type of topology all the devices are connecting in a loop form and the information travels in one direction, thus avoiding collisions. Here the cabling doesn’t terminate, it continually goes from one device to another till it gets back to the original device. It is also easier to manage the network since all the information is passed around the ring in the same direction. 2. Case project 2-2 With that many computer and four servers, I will use an Extended Star Topology. As pointed out in the case project that there are a few switches available here, I will use a central switch and connect the rest of the available switches to it and connect the 200 PC’s to those switches. Switches are good for determining each individual packet’s destination and ensuring that they are delivered to the right device. Note- Even though they might have two different uses in some cases, the hubs in my diagram represent the switches. Case project 2-3 * Physical versus logical topology: A physical topology defines how the devices on a particular network are physically connected; logical...

...Introduction Leonard Cooper Charter School is a K-12 school with approximately 1,000 students. The administration would like to develop a local area network (LAN) that meets the needs and fulfills the requirements of the school nowadays. This LAN has to be scalable for the future. Due to the new addition of a building few years ago, the increasing need of a LAN is growing fast. As a result, numerous complaints about the speed and reliability of the network have been filed by students as well as faculty and staff members. Assignment The chief executive officer (CEO) of Leonard Cooper Charter School has contracted me as a System Administrator to upgrade the LAN in order to meet the needs and fulfill the requirements of students...

...Julie Cason Networking Essnls II March 5, 2012 WAN/LAN Description Assignment The first part of this assignment is to describe the infrastructure of a network. The infrastructure is the hardware that enables computers to communicate with each other. My infrastructure is based on a star topology and can go from a LAN to a WAN very easily. I will begin with the type of cable that will be used to wire and connect my network. The cable I will use will be an Ethernet, coax interface also known as 10-base-2.The computers are connected to make a chain (like a star) and the coaxial 50ohm cable connects each “T” to the “T” on the next computer. The next technology that I will use is a hub/router. The hub houses a separate connection to each computer on the network. Any data entering the hub on one of the cables connected to it is repeated out onto all other cables connected to the hub. From there, it is then sent through a server and gateway. The gateway is tied into the Active Directory of all the computers on the network. From the server/gateway, it then goes into a Main Switch. The switch examines each arriving data packet and finds the packet's destination address. It then only sends data out to the port associated with that address. This cuts out a lot of needless network traffic and thus is why it is so important to have on a network. Finally, on my network is a Bridge. All computers end up connecting to the same wire and so they have to wait for silence on the network before...

...Unit 11 Assignment A computer network is 2 or more computers and other computing devices connected together so they can communicate with each other by sharing data, hardware and resources. The devices on the network are called nodes. Nodes can be connecting by using twisted pair copper wire cable, fiber optic or radio waves. Computers and nodes can be connected in pattern and is known as the topology. There is a few different type of topology. The most common topology are - RING, MESH,STAR,TREE, and BUS. There is also different type of computer network, the types are based on the capacity and the organization purpose. The most commonly network include Local Area Network (LAN) , Wide Area Network (Wan), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Personal Area Network (PAN). LOCAL AREA NETWORK...

...ACTIVE DIRECTORY WORKING WITH SITES CLASS NOTES NT1330 MR. GRAHAM 10/14/13 Sites overview Sites in Active Directory® represent the physical structure, or topology, of your network. Active Directory uses topology information, stored as site and site link objects in the directory, to build the most efficient replication topology. You use Active Directory Sites and Services to define sites and site links. A site is a set of well-connected subnets. Sites differ from domains; sites represent the physical structure of your network, while domains represent the logical structure of your organization. Using sites Sites help facilitate several activities within Active Directory, including: * Replication. Active Directory balances the need for up-to-date directory information with the need for bandwidth optimization by replicating information within a site more frequently than between sites. You can also configure the relative cost of connectivity between sites to further optimize replication. * Authentication. Site information helps make authentication faster and more efficient. When a client logs on to a domain, it first searches its local site for a domain controller to authenticate against. By establishing multiple sites, you can ensure that clients authenticate against domain controllers nearest to them, reducing authentication latency and keeping traffic off WAN connections. * Active Directory-enabled services. Active Directory-enabled services can leverage site...
