Netw410 Week2 Lab

Lab Report

1. What are the business goals? (10 points)

The business goals are to expand the campus to accommodate local population growth. Within the expansion there is a need to accommodate on and off campus classes via online capability as well due to the increase in enrollment.

2. What are the business constraints? (10 points)

One of the business constraints is allocating funding. Due to how funding is attained it must be spent in a fiscally responsible way as funding is obtained through property taxes and bonds.

3. What are the technical goals? (10 points)

The technical goals are to:

1. Build a new IT wing onto the Administration building to centralize all of the servers that are currently located in a closet in each of the individual buildings

2. Connect all of the buildings to the new IT wing of the Administration building

3. Provide controlled wireless access for the students in each classroom

4. Provide open wireless access for the students and the local population in the areas outside of each building

5. Provide a high-speed wired network connection to each faculty office

6. Provide a centralized online backup of all data designated for backup

7. Replace the PBX based telephone system with a VOIP based system

4. What are the technical constraints? (10 points)

The technical constraints are maintaining maintenance windows every Wednesday night from 10pm to 12am. Full functionality of the network 24/7 is also a must. Also, preparing for future growth of an extension to the campus that is 15 miles away from the current campus in the next few years is another constraint. Preventing interaction of the faculty network with that of the student network is another limitation that needs to be maintained.

5. Diagram the existing network. (10 points)
