Apply Activity 1: AD Design Replication Scenario
Homework, Graded
Students will respond to the following scenario with design considerations and recommendations.
Facilitation
Give students the scenario below asking them to respond in detail with recommendations for site-link protocols and replication schedule/frequency, as well as the possibility of recommending/justifying redundant links to each branch.
