Axia College of University of Phoenix Acme Manufacturing is an organization that is growing and expanding their operations. They have acquired a plant in China and are expanding offices throughout the United States. Acme Manufacturing is looking to add communication that will allow all sites to transfer data with no trouble. Headquarters will be located in Atlanta, Georgia. Headquarters will house corporate operations, marketing, administrative staff and the accounting departments. Acme Manufacturing’s engineering division is located across the street from headquarters office building. The Engineering building houses sales and engineering departments. There will be three distribution offices; Chicago, Phoenix, and New York. Each distribution office has a small sales staff as well as administrative staff. The plant facility will be located in China. The company is looking to tie all these sights to each other for ease of communication and data transfer. With the size of the corporation, VoIP will be the best type of telecommunications for Acme Manufacturing. VoIP will allow Acme to save money because they will not be using standard phone lines. VoIP uses the internet or corporate network to send and receive its telephony signal. This means that they do not have to run any extra lines for phones. Ethernet cables for the network will carry the phone line communications and will already be in place for the corporate network. Each site will need communication set up between them. In order to make that happen each site will need certain equipment put into place. Headquarters will have several servers in the server room. Desktops will be issued for the necessary users. Headquarters will have router strategically placed around the building. This will broadcast the corporate Wi-Fi signal for the corporate WLAN. The routers will also be central points for the desktop hubs to connect. The Engineering building will house some backup

    The current network is a fairly early design called an Ethernet Bus network. A bus network Topology is an architecture in which a set of clients are connected via a shared communications line, called a bus. Each of the 3 sites utilizes the same configuration of servers, workstations, standalone UPS and a 56k modem which are connected to an Ethernet backbone. Bus networks are difficult to troubleshoot because if the backbone goes down then every piece of hardware on the wire is affected. If one user is sending a signal on the network simultaneous to another user, the signals will collide causing a drop to both signals. These networks usually will be in a listening state to ensure no others are sending packets at the same time, this type of collision detection is called, carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD).…

    ACME should use a star topology so that each site will have direct connection to the headquarters and network administrators. With the sales and engineering offices they will link up to the headquarter over a WAN with a VPN configuration with IPSec and L2TP for their security. I find that the company would need to have three T1 lines that connect to the headquarters and the facility in China can connect through satellite. This can help ACME stay up to date and will allow room for growth if the company needed.…

    The internal network will use private ip addresses, while the external network will use a public ip addressing scheme. The modems for all sites will use static public ip addresses. This will help to keep the ip address the same at each site and to make it possible to for the sites to connect to one another. All of the computers attached to the network will be using dynamic ip addresses in which will be automatically obtained based on availability. Any networked printers should have dhcp reservations created within the network to hold that ip address and prevent any other devices from obtaining this same ip address. Instructor’s computers will have their own separate vlan to prevent students from accessing sensitive information. The wireless access points will have ip ranges assigned to each type of network, the guest network and student network will be on their own respective vlans. Each device on both of these vlans will automatically obtain an ip address. The internal servers will also be on separate vlans, and will be assigned static private ips. This will make the resources easily accessible. The student portal is being used on the internet through an external website; this will use a public ip address in which will be statically provided by the host.…
