Assignment Brief and Guidance:
R.D.D.R.C.Jayarathna Unit No:- 02 Assignment No:- 01

You are the newly recruited Network Engineer of an eminent movie
company called Enclave Films. This company composes movies and
delivers high quality video to make it download through VividZone
company website. The original movie company management has
decided to consolidate the contract with VividZone by adding more
efficient staff and appliances.
Enclave Films is in building B and the web team is positioned in the

same building while majority of the administration, sales, accounts and
management functions are supported in building A. Both buildings are
located in the same premises. Movie company plans to aggregate all
their staff and resources in one building. Therefore when adjacent office
space becomes available in building A, these groups will be
accommodated together. Building A has a reception and a customer area
as well.
About the Network
The branch network of Enclave Films has grown without proper

planning. The LAN cabling in both offices is Cat5e Ethernet. The office
complex provides an Ethernet link between the two buildings. Because
of the recent acquisition of VividZone, the addressing and naming of the
network are inconsistent.
The combined network infrastructure has not been optimized or

redesigned. It is a flat network design with minimal redundancy. A small
wireless LAN is used occasionally by few project managers with laptops
and the guests at Building B. Movie company believes that the WLAN
may be used frequently since mobile and contract employees of
VividZone will require network access.
Remote access to Enclave Films network is provided through an ADSL

internet link terminating in Building A. Currently there are two sets of
Enclave Films staff onsite at the stadium in building A. The VividZone
provides them office space in their management offices.
The current network equipment includes:

a) Two routers
b) Three switches
c) One network and business server
d) One wireless router
e) One ADSL modem
The current network has TWO VLANs.
f) The General VLAN in building A serves the general office and managers,
including reception, accounts, and administration. It consists of 12 PCs and
02 printers.
g) The Production VLAN in building B serves the production suites and

provides networking for the media development and storage. It consists of
09 high-performance workstations, 05 office PCs, and 02 printers.
The Management expects to enhance the network based on following

major criteria:
h) Data traffic expected to increase by 80%

i) Possibly consider connecting directly to the VividZone network; must be a
fast and reliable connection
j) High network availability with redundant links and technology
k) Wireless network access at the stadium and at Building A and Building B
l) QoS to support video applications
m) High network reliability with network monitoring and security

1 Task 01
1.1 Network types and Standards
1.1.1 Network Type
LAN
Figure 1 - LAN (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
The LAN can be as small as a single home network installed in your home or small
office. Over time, the definition of LAN has evolved to include interconnected local
networks consisting of hundreds of devices installed in multiple buildings and locations.
(Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
WLAN
Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local area network that uses radio waves to transfer data
between wireless devices. In traditional LANs, the devices are connected to each other
using copper wires. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 2-WLAN (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
PAN
The personal network (PAN) is a network that connects devices, such as mice, keyboards,
printers, smartphones and tablets within the domain of an individual person. All these
devices are assigned to a host and are often connected to Bluetooth technology. (Cisco
Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 3-PAN (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
MAN
Urban Network (MAN) is a network that runs on a large campus or city. The network
consists of different buildings connected through wireless or fiber optic networks. (Cisco
Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 4-MAN (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
WAN
A wide area network (WAN) connects to multiple smaller networks, such as local
Figure 5-WAN (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)

networks located in geographically separate locations. The most common example of a
WAN is the Internet. The Internet is a large WAN that consists of millions of LANs
connected. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Network standards
Many international standards organizations are responsible for developing network

standards. The standards are used by manufacturers as a basis for the development of
technology, especially technology and communication networksz
Figure 6 - Network standards (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
1.1.2 Current Network Constraint and Benefit

It can be cited that the current network benefits from inter department communication is
done with a greater speed since cat 5 cables are being used. Also laptop users and mobile
users can connected to the network through the WIFI Technology.
As the deficiencies of the network, it has been identified that the security is inefficient
between the departments. Also both the customers as well as staff being connected to the
same Wi-Fi network can be considered as a security vulnerability.
Furthermore, it has been identified that, it would be more effective if VLANs are
introduced to separate departments within the network as well as it would be also
effective if the backbone between the two buildings is made out of fiber optics cable.
1.2 Network topology
1.2.1 Type of Network topology
Logical topologies
The logical topology describes how hosts arrive in the middle and communicate on the
network. The two most common types of logical topology are transmission and transit. In
the broadcast topology, a host transmits a message to all hosts in the same network
segment. There is no order that hosts must follow to transfer data. Messages are sent
based on First In, First out (FIFO). (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Physical topology
The physical topology determines how computers, printers and other devices
communicate with the network. Figure 6 provides a physical topology.
Bus
In the bus topology, each computer connects to a shared cable. The cable connects one
computer to another, like a bus line running through the city. The cable has a small cap
installed at the end called breakage. The term prevents signals from reoccurring and
causes network errors. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Ring
In the ring topology, the hosts are connected in a physical loop or circle. Because there is
no beginning or end of the ring topology, the cable is not finished. The token travels
around the loop that stops at each host. If the host wants to send the data, the host adds
the data and the destination address to the token. The token continues around the loop
until it stops at the host with the destination address. The destination host removes the
data from the token. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Star
Figure 9- Star (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 10- Hierarchical (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)

The star topology contains a central focal point, usually a device such as a hub, switch, or
router. Each host in the network has a cable segment that connects the host directly to the
central connection point. Star topology is easy to solve. Each host is connected to the
central device with its own cable. If there is a problem with this cable, that host will only
be affected. The rest of the network still works. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Hierarchical
The star topology or hierarchical topology is an astral network with an additional network
device connected to the main network device. A network cable is usually connected to a
single key, and many other keys are connected to the first adapter. Larger networks, such
as corporate networks or universities, use a hierarchical star topology. (Cisco Netacad,
n.d.)
Hybrid
Mixed topology is a combination of two or more basic layers of core networks, such as
star topology or circular topology. The advantage of the mixed topology is that it can be
implemented for several different network environments.
Figure 1- Hybrid (Cisco Netacad,

n.d.)
The type of structure determines the capabilities of the network, such as ease of
configuration, speed and cable length. The LAN architecture describes the physical and
logical topology used in the network. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
1.2.2 Proposed solution design for the Enclave Film
With all the precede topologies eluded, it is now vital to identify the suitable topology
that would suffice the network requirement of the Enclave Film company.
When building a LAN that meets the needs of a small or medium sized business like our
client, the implementation phase will more likely to be successful if we used a
hierarchical design model. Compared with other network designs, a hierarchical network
is at ease to manage and expand, which will be required within this SME eventually, and
problems are solved faster. So for the network design which I have chosen for Enclave
Film is Tree topology- Hierarchical Design
1.3 Protocol structure model

1.3.1 TCP / IP
The TCP / IP protocol suite is the standard for data transmission over networks and the
Internet. It consists of layers that perform the functions necessary to prepare the data for
transmission through a network. The table shows four layers of the TCP / IP model.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP Layer Description
Application Where high-level protocols such as SMTP and FTP operate

Specifies which application requested or is receiving data through
Transport specific ports
Internet Where IP addressing and routing take place

Where MAC addressing and physical components of the network
Network Access exist
Table 1-TCP / IP (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 12- TCP / IP (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
1.3.2 OSI
The OSI model divides network connections into seven distinct layers. Although there are
other models, most network providers are building their products today using this
framework. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
OSI Model
OSI Model Layer Description
Application 7 Responsible for network services to applications
Transforms data formats to provide a standard interface for
Presentation 6 the application layer
Establishes, manages, and terminates the connections
Session 5 between the local and remote application
Provides reliable transport and flow control across a
Transport 4 network
Responsible for logical addressing and the domain of
Network 3 routing
Data Link 2 Provides physical addressing and media access procedures
Defines all the electrical and physical specifications for
Physical 1 devices
Table 2 - OSI Model (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
1.3.3 The OSI model /TCP / IP model
The OSI model and the TCP / IP model are two reference models used to describe the
data connection process. The TCP / IP model is used specifically for the TCP / IP protocol
Figure 13- The OSI model /TCP / IP model (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
group and uses the OSI model to develop standard communications of equipment and
applications from different vendors.
The TCP / IP model performs the same process as the OSI model, but uses four layers
instead of seven. The graph shows how to compare the layers of the two models. (Cisco
Netacad, n.d.)
1.4 Suitable protocols for given scenario
1.4.1 Protocol is a set of rules
The protocol is a set of rules. Internet protocols are a set of rules that govern
communication within and between computers in a network. The protocol specification
specifies the format of the messages that are exchanged. The letter is also used to send
itself through the protocols of the mail system. Part of the protocol specifies where the
delivery address in the envelope should be written. If the delivery address is written in the
wrong place, the message cannot be delivered. (Ragan, 2017)
1.4.2 TCP/IP
Computers and computers connected to the Internet use a set of protocols called TCP / IP
to communicate with each other. The information is usually sent through two protocols,
TCP and UDP, as shown in the figure. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 14- TCP/IP (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)

1.4.3 Common network and Internet protocols
The format summarizes some of the most common network and Internet protocols, and
the port number used in these protocols. The more you understand about each of these
protocols, the more you will understand how networks and the Internet work. (Cisco
Netacad, n.d.)
Common Network Protocols and Ports

Protocol Port Description
TCP/IP NA A suite of protocols used to transport data on the
Internet
NetBEUI/ 137, 139, A small, fast protocol designed for a workgroup
NetBIOS 150 network that requires no connection to the Internet

2.1 Network devices
2.1.1 Current Network devices
Router
A router is a device that redirects data packets through networks. The router connects to at
least two networks, namely LAN, WAN, LAN and its ISP network. The routers are
located at the gateways, where two or more networks are connected. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Figure 15- Router (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Switch
In networks, a device filters and redirects packets between parts of the LAN. The
switches operate in the data link layer (layer 2) and sometimes in the network layer (layer
3) of the OSI reference model therefore compatible with any packet protocol. Local
networks (LANs) that use switches to join switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet
networks, are called Ethernet LAN switches. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)

n.d.)
A network server is a computer designed to act as a central repository and helps provide a
variety of resources, such as access to hardware, disk space, access to printers, etc. To
other computers on the network. (Cisco Netacad, n.d.)
Business Server
A small business server is usually a low-quality server designed to be affordable and

manageable in a small business environment. Small Business Servers are suitable for
dozens of employees and can be preinstalled with software needed to run the server.
Wireless router
A wireless router is an electronic device that acts like a router, which means it sends data
from the Internet cable to a device, and a wireless access point so that this data can be
shared by wireless signals instead Cable. (Harwood, n.d.)
Figure 19- Wireless router (Harwood, n.d.)

Modem
A modem is a more interesting network device in our daily lives. If you have noticed
about yourself, you can get an Internet connection through a cable (there are different
types of cables) to your home. This cable is used to transfer our Internet data out of the
Internet world. (Whetstone, 2011)
Laptop Computer
Laptop Computers that y can carry with you and use in different environments. It includes
a screen, keyboard, trackpad or trackball, which acts like a mouse.
Desktop computer
A desktop computer is a personal computer that fits the desktop or below it. In general, it
consists of a projector, a keyboard, a mouse, and a horizontal or vertical shape factor
(tower). Unlike a laptop, a notebook, a desktop computer is designed to stay in one place
Figure 22- Desktop computer (lenovo)
Workstation (WS) computer
A workstation computer dedicated to a user or group of dedicated users for a business or

professional. Includes one or more high-resolution screens and a faster processor than a
personal computer. The workstation has a greater multitasking capability due to additional
RAM, drives, and drive capacity. The workstation can also use high-speed graphics
adapters and most connected peripherals. (KelsusIT, 2017)

Table 4- IEEE standards Network Cable
Using this table, the consultant used a gigabit Ethernet standard for LAN technology,
which is supported by both workstations very well. Therefore, workstations are justified
by LAN technology standard.
The 7710 comes with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter compatible with the new 802.11w
technology, which is implemented here. When a workstation does not need to be
connected to a protocol, it is the most appropriate way for managers and IT staff.
With this network and interconnected devices, a workstation model chosen by the
consultant for a truly network scope. Therefore, the main recommendation of the writer to
proceed with the purchase of the workstation, the establishment and increase the
prospects of network.
To implement the solution discussed above, the organization requires specific hardware
and software solutions in the system. Some will be implemented using existing hardware
and software, while others will be purchased. Enclave film management has been
approved to make necessary purchases. The following are the articles and specifications
required for this requirement in Enclave Film.
Several types of devices will be needed for this implementation. Next, the types of
programs that the author will be willing to use are displayed. They are divided as such
 System software
o Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 (Small Business Server)

o Windows 10 Professional
 Applications Software
o Microsoft Office 2016
 Security programs
o Symantec Endpoint Protection
2.3 Server types and justification of the selection of a server

2.3.1 Server
A server in a non-technical language is a computer system that receives or receives many
information services to ensure that computers on the network or the Internet can
communicate in turn by two or more people on different computers to communicate
effectively.
2.3.1.1 Choose Server

When choosing the best solution for Enclave Films, it is important to understand the
client / server structure proposed by the consultant in this case. Therefore, in this chapter,
the main goal of the author is to analyze the different types of servers available on the
market in a critical manner, and to provide a more complete solution to the selected
scenario.
There are several types of servers and are classified according to the type of work they
do, they are
 Web servers
 Mail servers
 Application servers
 File servers
 Proxy’s servers
 Real-time servers
The choose server has attached on the appendix section, kindly refer
appendix 2 section to find the choose server.
Enclave Films Company wants to improve the uses an email, a dedicated email server is a
good idea. And company needs to manage large amounts of shared documents/file, the
file exchange server will be the ideal choice. And also company need to domain server to
connect to domain in the network computers.
Before select the servers we should check these features have or not have in the server
what we selected.
 Match the server to your primary need

 Match Server processing speed and type of processer
 Select storage capacity on the server
 Choose ram speed and motherboard type on the server
 Buy the right operating system
 Build in expansion and redundancy
 Support and maintenance
 Choose the right cloud service providers
Going wholesale to the cloud may be a very big step at the moment, but just adding to an
existing server expansion is not an option either. Being smart about purchasing server
capacity means understanding how your company uses data primarily. When you
understand this aspect of your business, choosing the right server is a clearer and less
risky job.
2.3.2 Identify the server types suitable for Enclave Films
Asus TS500 Server
Figure 25- Asus TS500 Server (Newegg)
Power tower server with flexible swords
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 | Graphics: not available | RAM: as ordered Storage: no
vacancies Connectivity: 8 USB ports, VGA, PS2, 3 x Gigabit Ethernet | Dimensions
(width x depth x height): 22 × 54.5 × 45.5 cm
• Ideal for our servers and workstations
• Lack of energy and flexibility
• Not all have all the characteristics
• Asus may be surprised to see some
Like Super Micro, Asus is not known for its servers. In contrast, the Taiwanese company,
one of the largest suppliers in the world, is very popular for a wide range of consumer
products, including motherboards. The TS500-E8-PS4 is a 5U jogging tower server
ideally designed for dual use and server. It features the latest Intel® E5-2600 v3 Intel
Xeon, eight DDR4 DIMMs, six expansion slots, three 5.25-inch device slots and one
Bronze 500W 80 Plus power unit. There are four 3.5-inch SATA / SAS HDD
interchangeable ports and it can also be expanded to eight slots so that the hard drives
meet the flexible storage requirements. Server price is $280.00
In addition, with the Intel Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
compatible with ASMB8-iKVM on the TS500, you can monitor, control and manage the
server remotely. Other key features include 10 SATA ports, one DVD player, six USB
ports, one PS2 VGA port and one of three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Note that this is an
abstract server. (Asus, n.d.)
The server that selected for this scenario is Asus TS500 Server
The reasons for select this server for Enclave Films company,
 It is relatively cheap for the server, ideal for small and medium-sized companies
such as Enclave Films
 It has an easy installation and requires minimal storage. And also an easy access
to the panel, which is fundamental for the resolution of computer problems
 NOS is not yet installed, as the network consultant plans to use W2k12 SMB,
enough hardware requirements will suffice to satisfy the current server
requirements in Enclave Film.
 There is always room for expansion. In the near future, storage and NOS can be
updated.
 The brand also operates in a biosphere, where the provider is listed as DELL,
which has more experience in serving the servers.
 With these features at hand, it is a strong belief that this server will be more
suitable for the network and server requirements in Enclave Film.

solution for the Enclave Films.
As per the task which was apprehended by the client, the requirements of Enclave Films
is as follows
1. All departments’ and employees’ computers of the organization to be integrated

in to a centralized network. Named as “enclavefilms.com” (Across both floors).
2. All four department should be separated into four separate network segment
which will reduce the broadcast domain
3. Every user including department head and all other employees should be given
with a separate login with suitable privileges.
4. Both floors to be equipped with Wi-Fi connections which are limited only to their
respective sites.
5. The company wants to share some common types of files with all employees.
Therefore there is a need for a FTP server (located in the server room) to share
these files
To apprehend these requirements, the consultant will be initiating following procedures
 A domain server will be planted and the network will design as in the
client/server architecture, providing significant user privileges to certain users of
the domain, such as administrators, managers and executives of Enclave Film.
 A FTP Server, DHCP server and a Backup Server and Mail Server will be assigned
to fulfill the generic requirements of the Enclave Film.
 Wireless Access Point will be established in both the floors.
 A Server-based Anti-virus solution will be provided for all the users for security
and integrity reasons of the network
 The networking system will be implemented using the hieratical network design,
and abide its standards and procedures.
 All the departments will be segmented to VLANs of each respective paradigm,
and will be assign certain.
 The network will be taking classless subnet ip addresses range, the network will
be 192.168.1.0/27, 10.1.1.0/26 where the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.224,
255.255.255.192 and the wildcard mask will be 0.0.0.31
 Dynamic IP Addresses will be assigned to each required user pool, using the
router DHCP Pool Service
 A Software firewall will be implemented to limit both the internal and the
external threats
 Physical Access to the server room will be prohibited unless authenticated
 The LAN will abide the IEEE Standards of 802. Local area networking
technologies, and also will abide the protocols and rules of OSI reference
modeling standards, as well as the TCP/ IP Standard protocols.

According to the comments, 85% of the comments were positive. Most customers are
satisfied with the network solutions and systems provided by the consultant. Some
problems with network integrity, as well as lack of another server operating system to
authorize work
Based on these analyzes, the author requested that another server be installed for backup
and other mandated services in Enclave. . Since all other sections, except the leasing
section, requested another server to reduce traffic by the end of the month to delete
records. As a network administrator, the author plans to deploy other servers on the
company's network. This should be done as a future planning of the infrastructure with
the network. Therefore, the installed and available server installation process is highly
considered with Enclave Film Management.
3.5 Network maintenance

To better meet our customers' needs, we have developed a quarterly maintenance plan
covering many of the most common support cases we deal with. We will analyze the
performance of the network, servers and workstations and will provide you with details of
the problems and problems we may face.
These preventive maintenance tasks are performed in:
 Server and storage infrastructure

 Desktop Infrastructure
 Network equipment
 Backup and security systems
Each maintenance task can be performed at a standard frequency or on a specific basis for
your environment. These tasks include:
 Review the registry file and corrective action

 Test the vulnerability
 Manage anti-virus and anti-spam
 Review the active directory account
 File and manage data files
 Check routine backup and restore test
 Threshold direction and management - CPU (RAM), RAM (RAM), disk, network
bandwidth
 Interoperability of applications and alerts
 Asset management functions
 Custom maintenance tasks are developed to meet unique requirements.
Keep in mind that many maintenance tasks are performed in Real Time. We use our IT
management and control systems to automatically generate alerts based on predefined
thresholds or known error situations that are then run by the network maintenance when
they occur.

4.3 Addition of communication devices and network growth
 With the proposed optimization system for Enclave Film, it is necessary to update
the network reliability, sustainability, availability and scalability of the proposed
system.
 To improve network quality, the author requests potential expenditures for this
network after one year of implementation.
 With the current network sufficient with the network and management range,
with the proposed extensions must meet these most basic prerequisites.
 The current network cables are CAT6 Ethernet cable, which will not be sufficient
for future network. Therefore, the author strongly points to the transition to fiber
optic cables, which will support the large bandwidth size
4.4 Evaluate work and justify valid conclusions
This task has been subject to considerable research, fact-finding and comparisons. By
nature, we had to design and implement laws to protect networks, standards and data,
while this must also be possible for global standards. I must thank the E-soft task team for
delivering such a difficult but interesting task.
When I planned the structural design of this task, I had difficulty dealing with the tasks
individually, as they were tangled and strange. But I discovered that the error was in me,
because I took the entire task as one, when I had to do the opposite. Luckily, my subject
teacher explained to me during the feedback session, then I thought about the idea of each
task approach separately, and everything went smoothly. I tried to use as simple terms as
possible and reduced the use of abbreviations in reports unless they were mandatory.
I feel it would be better if I had used less time to create and develop the network, because
they themselves are an independent field of expertise. The effects and social documents
are correct to the point of knowledge and knowledge, but I believe that the actual design
of the network would be wiser, if I cited it from my environment, rather than referring to
it from research and meditation on the Internet. Special. Security effects were modified in
the context of customization, and the network design was adapted from case studies that
declared similar requirements. Documenting the task took longer than expected by the
author. Some tasks are intertwined so that the writer must follow different writing and
documentation methods. The main problem faced by the writer is time management for
designing, implementing and documenting the network. Apart from that, he insisted that I
had produced a true and well-established project

7 Annexures
7.1 Appendix 1
Cisco 1841-K9 Router
The router is responsible for connecting two different logical and logical networks. The
routers are connected to a chain in a WAN or a local area network (LAN) called a jump in
the chain. The work of the router is very simple since the router of a LAN or WAN finds
the IP address of the next hop (the next router) and the data is sent to and so on. D-Link,
TP-Link, Link-Sys, Cisco and Aztec are some of the best-known router manufacturers.
Routers are two main types of DSL routers and Wi-Fi routers. Almost all users, banks,
institutions, universities and end users use routers to connect to the Internet or to
interconnect their virtual private networks through the Internet.
For this solution, there are many advantages that the writer took into account with the
Cisco router that he chose in other brands and products. In the following table, the
features are listed through the benefits of this router.
Advantage
 High performance processor

 Supports the concurrent implementation of secure, high-performance data
services with an increase for future applications
 Standard architecture
 Offers a wide range of LAN and WAN options: network interfaces are updatable
to accommodate future technologies
 Supports more than 30 modules and interface cards, including WAN (WIC) and
Multiflex (VWIC) network cards (to support data only on the Cisco 1841 router)
and Advanced Integration Units (AMS)
 Accelerate encryption of embedded devices
 Provides a cryptographic accelerator as a standard built-in device that can be
enabled with optional Cisco IOS software for 3DES and AES.
 Offers a range of enhanced security performance features with optional 3DES
VPN acceleration card or AES encryption
 A wide virtual memory
 Provides 64 MB of Flash and 256 MB of synchronous dynamic memory (SDRAM)
to support the simultaneous deployment of services
 Ethernet ports dual Ethernet high speed and dual Ethernet
 Helps enable connection speeds of up to 100BASE-T Ethernet without the need
for cards and modules
 Allows LAN fragmentation
 Cisco IOS 12.3T, 12.4, 12.4T and later feature sets • Supports Cisco 1841 router
starting with Cisco IOS Software 12.3T
 Helps enable integrated solutions while supporting the latest service quality
based on Cisco IOS software, bandwidth management and security features
 Integrated standard power supply
 provides easy installation and administration of the management platform
24 port Cisco 2950 switch
The work of the network hub is very different from the switch. The advance in the
switches is that they have a switching table in them that makes the network safer and
faster. The difference is between the technology and the technique through which the data
is sent. The adapter has the ability to store the MAC address of the computers so that the
data is sent to the desired point only instead of being sent to each point. (Cisco, 2017)
Cyberoam UTM FIREWALL
Cyberoam Firewall is available as a firewall and UTM firewall. It provides a deep and in-
depth examination of network packages, applications and user security. Cyberoam
Firewall protects organizations from DoS, DDoS and Spoofing IP attacks.
The personal security system Cyberoam Level 8 allows employee-based policies and an
interface to create policies in all functions, providing ease of administration and high
security with flexibility
Network interface control
A piece of computer that allows the connected computer to connect to the network.
Wireless network interface control

A piece of computer allows the connected computer to connect through the LAN.
CONNECTOR RJ 45
RJ45 is a standard type of connector for network cables. Generally, you see RJ45
connectors with cables and Ethernet networks. The RJ45 connectors have eight pins
connected by the two cables to an electrolytic cable surface. The regular RJ-45 pins
define the order of the individual cables required when connecting the connectors to the
cable.
Several other types of connectors are very similar to the RJ45 and can be easily mixed
together. The RJ-11 connectors used with telephone cables, for example, are slightly
smaller (than the RJ-45 connectors). A shortcut for the Jack-45 recorder, an eight-wire
connector commonly used to connect computers to local area networks (LANs),
especially Ethernets. The RJ-45 connectors are similar to the RJ-11 connectors used
everywhere to connect telephone devices, but they are somewhat wider.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) - for the Upper Floors

UTP is more common. The degree of sound or degree of data may be the case. The UTP
cable generally has an impedance of 100 ohms. The cost of UTP is lower than the STP
and is easily available due to its intensive use. There are five levels of data cables.
 Category 1
o These are used in telephone lines and a low speed data cable.
 Category 2
o These cables can support up to 4 megabits per second.
 Category 3
o This cable supports up to 16 megabytes per second and is used mainly at
10 Mbps.
 Category 4
o These are used for long distance and high speed. It can withstand 20mps.
 Category 5
o This is the highest rating for the UTP cable and can support up to 100
Mbps.
UTP cables consist of 2 or 4 pairs of twisted cables. 2-pair cable Use the RJ-11 connector
and the 4-pair cable Use the RJ-45 connector
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) - for Enclave Film ground floor

The STP is heavier and more difficult to manufacture, but it can significantly improve the
signal speed in a given transmission scheme. Torque provides cancellation fields with
currents and currents induced magnetically in a pair of conductors. Magnetic fields are
created around heavy current conductors and around large electric motors. Several grades
of copper cables are available, with the fifth grade being the best and the most expensive.
Copper Class 5, suitable for use in 100 Mbps applications, has more fluctuations per inch
than lower notes. It means more linear perpendicular inches than the copper cable used to
operate the cable, and more copper means more money. The shield provides a means to
revert or absorb electrical fields around the cables. The shield comes in a variety of forms
from brass braid or copper meshes to aluminum. Wrap the Mylar tape around each
connector and again around the twisted pair. BM has established a class for the STP cable.
With these big differences, it is necessary to understand the data transmission rate through
this type of cables, in order to make a careful evaluation of Enclave Film
With this analysis, the author decided to use the Cat6 cable system for Enclave Films.
Wi-Fi access point devices

For the solution in the film enclave, writer wireless access point of Linksys chose. The
access points are small physical devices very similar to domestic broadband routers. The
wireless routers used in home networks include built-in access points of the device, and
can work with AP independent units. Many providers of Wi-Fi products also produce
access points. AP devices consist of wireless transceivers, antennas and firmware.
Wi-Fi is usually one or more of the wireless access points of contact points are distributed
to support Wi-Fi coverage area of your own. Business networks also install APs typically
in all their office areas. While most households require a router a wireless device (AP) to
cover the real area, many of which businesses can use. It may be to determine the ideal
locations for a place to install a set of difficult task access points even for network
professionals due to the need to cover reliable signal distances.

The Precision Group is one of the oldest working class families on this tour, dating back
to the late 1990s. Since then, much has changed with a large amount of computing,
storage and memory capacity. Precision 7910 is the most powerful and scalable
workstation of the company, which allows to use dual Xeon CPUs, up to four graphics
cards and even liquid cooling to keep things going.
Dell is one of the few companies that combines its endpoint security solutions that
combine protection against malware, authentication and encryption. It is also one of the
few providers that sends legacy technology (PCI, Serial, PS2) by default. Do not be
fooled by the basic price (around £ 2,000). Once fully charged, the price is expected to
increase twenty times.
7.2 Appendix 2
Proxy Server
In general, these servers are located between a Web browser and a server that is usually
outside the Internet room, where it is filtered and helps meet initiator requests or queries,
as well as connections to share. It acts as a gateway by receiving and retransmitting
requests from the other simplification server so that the other server works in the shortest
possible time, improving server performance.
Web servers
A web server is a server that allows all website data to be received by the browser. This is
done by connecting to a disk that contains specific data that the client is looking for; this
information cannot be obtained from a disk to a Web page without this type of server.
This transfer is possible thanks to the use of programs called protocols; in this case, the
protocol responsible for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
Servers in real time
These servers are servers that make chat possible; allow to relay information at the touch
of a button. They are also responsible for services such as instant messaging and have the
ability to carry many of these messages or chats at the same time and deliver them on
time, instantly. These servers are constantly running and used in many mobile
applications, computer programs and the Internet.
File Transfer Server
FTP may be the oldest in the world of Internet Protocol (IP). It is the protocol that allows
the safe transfer of files over the Internet in the form of a Web page to another, from e-
mail to e-mail and the like. This type of protocol is what led to the design and coding
protocols, such as HTTP and languages such as HTML and XHTML.
Open Source Servers
Open source servers take the liberty of all other open source software and form an
essential part of data exchange across the entire IT infrastructure, but are mostly open
source operating systems such as Apache and Linux.
Servers in the cloud
These servers are the latest in the market and have the ability to perform many tasks,
including monitoring other servers and storing data. They are hypothetical, and therefore
they work on the web and help maintain the integrity of online data for most websites
now because they save space and money.
With this type of server, there are many server operating systems on the market, which are
Mac OS Servers
Solaris servers
Linux servers
Windows Servers
Free Bsd servers
