Task 3: Prep

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 support in 2031 giving the organisation lots of time.
  • Adding in some level of physical security
  • Making sure that all the unused ports on both servers are unused
  • Maybe adding in some work laptops for the remote workers as well might be good for security but this can come in a secondary
  • Adding in an offline server that uses Linux will be useful to mitigate a single point of failure

How to connect two different networks using Cisco Packet Trace

How to connect two different networks using Cisco Packet Tracer 1. First you need to deploy at least two end devices to a separate switch. 2. Second you must then assign an IP address to each end device 3. Computer 1 Network 1 IP: 192.168.10.2 4. Computer 2 Network 1 IP: 192.168.10.3 5. Computer 1 Network 2 IP: 192.168.20.2 6. Computer 2 Network 2 IP: 192.168.20.3 7. Then add in a Router for each network, connecting it to the switch 8. Then set the IP address in the router as such: 9. Router 1 IP to the Switch 1: 192.168.10.1 10. Router 1 IP to Router 2: 192.168.30.1 11. Router 2 IP to Switch 2: 192.168.20.1 12. Router 2 IP to Router 1: 192.168.30.2 13. Then set the default gateway on every device to the same as the Router IP to Switch 14. Then go into Router 1 and create a static route to the other network, set the network to 192.168.20.0 then set the mask to 255.255.255.0 after that set the next hop to the Router 2 IP (192.168.30.2). This will give router 1 the information needed to ...

IP Address and Classes Different IP classes A - 255.0.0.0 B - 255.255.0.0 C - 255.255.255.0 D - 255.255.255.255                                                                                                                                     Public IP: Can be anything 32bit character. It is used to identify a network Private IP: Based on the networks subnet mask it is used to identify devices on a network Packet tracer A packet tracer is used to simulate a network and test if the connection will work. It can be used by business to check if there systems will work before they make any financial decisions.

Virtualization Step-by-Step Guide

Step-by-step guide Install Virtual Box (Latest Version) Install the ISO files from Microsoft or your chosen distro of Linux Open Virtual Box Then press 'new' and then make sure the ISO file is correctly selected on the first page. Adjust further settings based on your system specs  In general if you are using windows go for >4 CPU cores and at least 8000MB in RAM. For Linux i would suggest going for at least 2 CPU cores but you can go as low as 1 if you are going without a GUI or headless. Everything else you can leave at default Once you have setup the basics move on to starting the VM Once the VM has loaded you should end up on the setup screen Windows Server If you are using Windows make sure you install the Windows Server ISO from Microsoft Follow the previous steps with only above as the exception Once you are in the setup menu for Windows Server make sure when going through the setup that you select the Windows Standard Desktop version Then wait for it boot and restart...
