***NYANYA ONLY QUESTION CORRECTION****

Project 3: ***(Nearly the same as Research Assignment 5)*** 125pts

Discuss 4 software or hardware problems that will render two hosts unable to use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate.

In this assignment, you will use the course materials and the Web to research the symptoms of underperforming networks. You will then compile your findings into a formal research paper that should address how 5 different symptoms can be diagnosed and corrected.

 

Assignment Guidelines

•     Research the symptoms of underperforming networks.

•     Use the following questions as a guideline for your paper:

o   What are 5 symptoms of an underperforming network?

–  Describe each symptom.

 

o   What tools can be used to properly diagnose and correct these network problems?

How do these tools accomplish proper symptom diagnosis and correction?

 

•     The content of your research paper should be written in a 3–4-page double-spaced Microsoft Word document.

o   This does not include a title page or a list of references.

•     You may use section headings and bullets to organize your research paper.

•     All in-text citations and references should be in APA format.

 

Your submitted assignment (125 points) must include the following:

•     A 3–4-page double-spaced research paper that addresses the 3 questions listed in the assignment guidelines with regard to network symptoms and diagnostic tools.

•     A title page that includes your name, course number, and unit number.

•     A reference list in APA format.

 

Project 4: 125pts

Instructions: 

In this assignment, you will use the course materials and the Web to research host IP addressing conflicts and preventative network solutions.

 

Assignment Guidelines

•     Research IP addressing with regard to conflicts and DHCP, and use the following questions as a guideline for your paper:

o   If two hosts in a network are assigned the same IP addresses, what will happen? Explain.

o   How can an improperly configured DHCP contribute to this type of problem?

o   In your own words, how would you describe the DHCP configuration parameter that is used to reserve IP addresses for hosts in a network?

•     The content of your research paper should be written in a 3–4-page double-spaced Microsoft Word document.

o   This does not include a title page or a list of references.

•     You may use section headings and bullets to organize your research paper.

•     All in-text citations and references should be in APA format.

 

Your submitted assignment (125 points) must include the following:

•     A 3–4-page double-spaced research paper that addresses the 3 questions listed in the assignment guidelines with regard to IP addressing conflicts and DHCP

•     A title page that includes your name, course number, and unit number

 

•     A reference list in APA format

 

Research Assignment #3:70pts

Instructions: 

Research the Web, and select and discuss 3 tools that can be used to test network reliability.

 

Assignment Guidelines

•     Research network reliability tools, and select 3 of them to analyze.

•     Answer the following questions:

o   What is the objective of each tool?

o   How does each tool function with regard to network reliability testing?

•     Use APA references and citations to support your assertions.

o  Do not include a table of contents or abstract.

Grading Criteria :

Reliability is the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time.

Examples of the tools that can be used include Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor tools and Vendor tools such as Insight Manager and Network Analyzer.

 

 

Research Project 5:

Discuss 4 software or hardware problems that will render two hosts unable to use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate.

 

Assignment Guidelines

•     Use the course materials and the Web to research network component troubleshooting.

•     Answer the following question:

o   What are 4 problems that will break TCP/IP communication between two hosts? Briefly explain.

§ The selected problems can pertain to hardware issues, software issues, or a combination of both.

•     Use APA references and citations to support your assertions.

Do not include a table of contents or abstract.

 

 

Common Assessment:150pts

 

You are a respected and tenured IT professor and you also manage the university computer operations that consist of a server farm of 8 servers and an NAS of 100 terabytes. The CIO is excited to announce that the university enrollment is increasing at a steady rate, and as a result, the number of college students enrolling at the university has increased dramatically. This has caused the data requirements to grow 27% in the last 6 months. 

Your boss at the university has asked you to provide a 2-year plan to address this unprecedented growth. Create a 3-4 pages proposal for your 2-year plan. Include the following:

Primary problems that exist in meeting the growth requirement and your proposed solutions

A list of common problems that you may encounter while adding storage to meet growing data storage requirements

 

Your proposed solutions
