Initial Switch Setup Firstly we setup a small network consisting of 2 computers, we then connected the two computers to the switch and checked if they could communicate, this was successful. We then tested if the switch could route a internet connection without configuration. This was successful and we were able to access the internet on both computers. We then connected the terminal connector into a laptop and then used Putty to access Cisco CLI. We then used the command  show interfaces status which showed us all of the connections and what VLAN the connection was on. VLAN Setup To setup the VLAN we

Task 4 Make sure that there is some sort of overview of what the company wanted before the you came in to make the changes.   Make sure that you do a small summary of what you implemented, this only needs to be brief with a few bullet points.   Make sure to make it clear.   Make sure that you have the security concerns that you have found and how you have been mitigating it.   Then you will need to self-evaluate your performance, this is doing your strengths and weaknesses.  Make up some questions that can be asked for the people who are using the network   I would recommend going for categories and asking a few of the questions from them. For example, you ask about the system and ease of use, performance and sustainability, remote working capability's, overall satisfaction, and other comments and suggestions

Task 3 Prep Remember to add in information about the cloud solution you are adding in and why, I'm adding in AWS as a 3rd party provider Changing the device policy to not allow personal devices onto the network for security reasons Giving out work phones and devices for the 10 remote workers Upgrading the VPN so that it can handle more then 10 concurrent users at a time Upgrading WAP on both sites to remove any redundancy and potential issues around connectivity Upgrading the OS on the server to Windows 2022, no need for a hardware upgrade Adding in all of the services from the Preston into Newquay (Active Directory, Company Software) Remove the single point of failure by backing up files into the cloud to mitigate data loss Maybe suggesting a RAID system would work Adding in access control levels to improve security There should be a sync between the cloud and the local server to make backups seamless Google Pixel 8a will be used as it has a good price and it will go out of suppor...

Review I need to diversify my server roles, having all of these services on one server creates a single point of failure. Therefore maybe using some cloud services would help in preventing a total data loss scenario from occurring. Adding more labels to my topology I agree is a good idea and will help the examiner in understanding my thought process. Adding in a managed switch would also improve network management, the ability to use VLANS and traffic prioritization. While the switch I used would work it doesn't mean it was the best and for the real ESP i should probably do more research into managed switches.   Not having the VPN segmented from the main server was a oversight on my part and in the future I will remember to consider this when designing networks,

Managed Switches A managed switch is a network switch that allows the administrator to have much greater control over the device. This allows you to full control the settings and configuration of your LAN network and traffic. It can keep smaller groups of devices segregated making troubleshooting easier. It also has features that can recover data in the event of a device or network failure.   Unmanaged Switches   A unmanaged switch allows you to "plug and play" instantly connected with no further configuration its good if you value convenience over security. They cost far less then a unmanaged switch.
