Paulo and sales offices in: Washington, Indianapolis, Tampa and Liverpool, will each have their own Local Area Network (LAN) setup. These LAN’s will be designed to best facilitate their intranet needs and will have the inclusion of internet access. Each site will include switches and routers with other networked devices and will be designed off Star topology. The Star Topology is a common network configuration in which workstations and other network devices connect to a single point called the

Dear madam, I understand that the datacenter is undergoing an upgrade to modern configuration that support VOIP(voice over internet protocol) which is impossible with the 10-base-T LAN cables hubs, which is considered to be an outdated technology. Data centers are focused on the LAN technologies, with the goal of redundancy and then to create a more scalable fabric within the data center. In this memo two network cabling option will be presented and one is going to be recommended

INTERNETWORKING INTERNETWORKING Abstract A local area network (LAN) is a communication network that interconnects a variety of data communicating devices within a small geographic area and broadcasts data at high data transfer rates with very low error rates. Since the local area network first appeared in the 1970s, its use has become widespread in commercial and academic environments. It would be very difficult to imagine a collection of personal computers within a computing environment

server to manage data, users, groups, security, applications, and other networking functions.[2] The network operating system is designed to allow shared file and printer access among multiple computers in a network, typically a local area network (LAN), a private network or to other networks. The most popular network operating systems are Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, and Novell NetWare.

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

Diagrams will show the current network topology. Finally, a description the standards applicable to this INDP project will be provided. Network Fundamental Characteristics and Components A network is comprised of computer hardware, cabling, network devices, and computer software, which together allows computers to communicate with each other. The network characteristics are determined by the availability, cost, reliability, security, speed, scalability, and topology. In order to understand how each

relate to particular network standards and protocols LAN: This basically stands for local area network and it is also a computer network limited to a small area so it isn’t on a large geographical scale and some examples include the university, college or a home. There are some benefits for the users of LAN and it includes making it easier for the employees that are working in a company to communicate ad also share information. The most common type of LAN is the Ethernet which is known by most people.

a factor of ‘n’. In serial mode, one bit is sent with each clock pulse. Topology used In this centre, a star topology is used. Because, itis less expensive, requires less cabeling and easyto install and reconfigure. STAR TOPOLOGY : In a star topology, each device has a dedicated point to point link only to a central controller , usually called a‘hub’. The devices are not directly linked to each other. A star topology does not allow direct traffic between devices. The controller acts as an exchange
