The first diagram included shows the original company network design of 10 workstations connected to a single stackable switch. Business growth depends in part upon the company Internet web server and database server. The network’s initial flat topology, with workstations and servers connecting in a peer to peer fashion using a single ADSL line for Internet access was very limited. However, the current stackable network switch design has enabled IT staff to upgrade network infrastructure in order

Chapter 10 Exercises Review Questions 1-10 1. Define the term system architecture. Define the term scalability, and explain why it is important to consider scalability in system design. System architecture translates the logical design of an information system into a physical structure that includes hardware, software, network support, and processing methods. Then, Scalability is the measure of a system’s ability to expand, change, or downsize easily to meet the changing needs of a business

fractional. In addition, the equipment used in the WAN design will be Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and routers with plug-in WAN Interface Card (WIC) that will provide and efficient communication link to all of its stores. Further, a dual-hub network topology will be the used to expand the network as well as reduce the number of Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) connections while still maintaining redundant connections for faults that occur. A dual-hub network will allow Kudler Fine Foods to choose a one

Networks Marshall D. Abrams and Harold J. Podell Local area network (LAN) communications security is addressed in this essay. LANs are introduced as providing: (1) a private communications facility, (2) services over a relatively limited geographic area, (3) a high data rate for computer communications, and (4) common access to a wide range of devices and services. Security issues pertinent to LANs are discussed. For example, LANs share many security problems and approaches for their solutions with
