Description

You will be presented with a situation showing the details of how a company is currently working, a manufacturing plant with various stand-alone computers and printers, and you will research and determine the best configuration to help the manufacturing plant network their computers and include connections to the Internet for all computers. You will need to explain and support the decisions and be able to explain how the changes will benefit the manufacturing plant, including describing how the changes will be managed and implemented.

JAMS MANUFACTURING NETWORK TRANSITION

JAMS manufacturing network transition
The current network setup at JAMS is able to handle the internet provision and basic
local area connection needs. The idea that each manufacturing plant connects to a modem or a
router so to be able to connect to the internet is old fashion and the current way to connect to the
internet is through an internet server, (Wang, Wan, Li, & Zhang, 2016). Through this server the
sites that can be accessed can be monitored or set in such a way that non-recommended sites can
be blocked. Sites of games or illicit materials can be blocked since these are things that can derail
the employees from doing the work at hand, (Sanchez-Iborra, & Cano, 2016).
Project Advantages and changes
The new network set up will be more cost effective for it will use less hardware and the
internet service provision would be subscribed only once. The technology of virtual local area
network (VLAN) shall be used. This creates virtual ports that are connected to the various PCs or
other devices than the actual point to point connection of the PCs to the switch through their
limited ports.
Also the number of users that can be supported by this connection shall be increased and
would not be limited by the availability of the connection ports, (Jin, et al, 2016). The
configuration is done in such a way that the allocated internet protocol (IP) address is split in
various ways at the command prompt.
Also the efficiency of the new network will be higher in that there would be less jamming
suppose a broadcast message is sent. JAMS manufacturing being a company would several
employees would sometimes need to communicate a message to all its employees through the net
and would need to send broadcast messages every once in a while. By setting up the network in a
VLAN format then each device would have their own private network and the broadcast message
