Computer Network and Networking Essentials

Describe why schools have policies and procedures and Identify the policies and procedures schools may have relating to:

“Networks are all around us. They are in our walls, in the air. At schools, hotels, hospitals, even coffee shops. Always there, always on…This power exists today. In our routers. In our switches... . (Cisco, n.d.)

As a school we are required to have policies and procedures for all the staff/adults and

During this section of my blog you would be able to view all the different types of typical services provided by networks and the purpose of each where I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them all.

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.

Each campus will have a MDF room where data will be sent and forwarded as needed. The Houston West campus will include an MDF as well as an IDF on the second floor to forward data to the MDF.

NOTE: Please write your answers to each question in a different color font to make this easier for the Professor to grade.

This assignment will be mainly about network components and how do they operate, what are their functions and what are their flaws.

4. Discuss the impact of cost and time constraints on networking techniques and project schedules.

The application layer: this layer allows different applications to communicate with each other’s. In order to exchange different data over the network connection, the protocols included in this layer set up the standards such as DNS, HTTP, FTP. The data coded in this layer will be encapsulated to transport layer for further packing.

The ability to send and receive data efficiently is the most important objective of networking computers.
