• You have just begun working as a networking consultant with a local consulting firm. One of your first tasks is to help troubleshoot• a small Ethernet network at a tax preparation office. The backbone of this network consists of six hubs connected in a bus fashion. Three of the hubs service workgroups of 10 workstations each. One of the hubs services two file servers and two shared printers.
In anticipation of tax season and a heavier workload, the organization recently upgraded its network from 10BaseT to100BaseT. However, they have not seen any of the performance increases they expected. Before even visiting the firm, what can you suggest as reasons for the less than optimal performance?
There are a couple of possibilites that the network would not perform how it was desired to work at usually this can happen because
1. You might need a new NIC card but in some cases not but if you do you always would like to go the device manager and if the NIC card is only running at 10/100mbs you would need to offer advice on getting a new NIC card that does not cost to much above average
2. Before buying a new NIC card for your motherboard you must always update drivers when upgrading anything on a computer the computer never knows automatically unless the software was built that way.
3. The solution can be as easy as going to the website of the original make of your NIC that is attached to the motherboard of the PCI slots and upgrade the drivers for these
• The network managers at the tax preparation office have followed your advice on reconfiguring the network, and as a result, the network is running more smoothly. However, they have now realized that their Internet connection is too slow. They have been using a dial-up BRI ISDN connection. They want to spend no more than $200 per month on an Internet connection (not including installation fees). They also need a transmission method with fairly good security and a guarantee of adequate throughput during the daytime hours. What solution can you recommend that will offer them the most throughput at this cost?
Wells you see in this type of situation they are dealing with a LAN a local area network and of course they do not need anything that is incredibly expensive. The first thing that they want to do is simply get a Router from a telephone company and of course a switch that has about 4-5 ports in this case would be great. After this they will be easily on the internet running at great speeds (do not forget upgrade your driver cards)
• The Internet connection you have selected for the tax preparation firm is working well. Recently, however, they have learned that their firm will be merging with another firm across town (right here in NYC). They need a way to connect the two offices. They have heard about using data lines to carry telephone conversations, and they are interested in adding that to their requirements for the data connection. Also, although they want the connection to be reliable, they are not willing to spend the extra money for an extremely fault tolerant network. On the other hand, now that they have merged with another firm, they have the means to pay up to $2000 per month for a connection. What solution do you suggest?
Of course there are many suggestions for this such as
- ATM ABR port because they do not such per mile and have a good rate of speed which is what they need
- For only a flat rate of 1750$ they do not have to calculate the distance which can be anywhere in NYC why should one pay for the mile for something that the same and reliable
- ATM is a great protocol to use.
- They would save 250$ every month of course.
just look over anything please i have to hand this in today and i really tried my hardest
