Description

Overview

Understanding basic network terminology and the rationale for specific network configurations is a key skill for succeeding in the information technology field. In this activity, you will demonstrate your understanding of both network terminology and systems mapping to create a home network diagram and define common networking terms.

Prompt

To demonstrate your understanding of these concepts, address the following:

  1. Define the following IT concepts, and describe their role and importance within a network:
    1. IP address and DNS
    2. Server and client
    3. VPN
    4. Firewalls
    5. LANs and WANs
  1. Read the following scenario and create a network configuration diagram in Microsoft Visio using either the Basic Network Diagram or Detailed Network Diagram symbol sets:
    1. Georgia Springer runs a small accounting firm with two partners and a secretary. Each employee has a personal workstation. Client information is stored on a central server shared between all workstations in the office. There is a single networked device that functions as a copier, printer, fax machine, and scanner. The office’s network has a firewall and connects to the internet through a cable modem.
  1. Compose a brief 100- to 200-word summary of the network configuration you modeled in Visio, including a description of the network configurations you would recommend. In your summary, use the vocabulary discussed in the first part of this assignment and describe how these components work together within the context of a network.

Guidelines for Submission

Your submission must include:

  • A bulleted list that defines the identified key terms and concepts for network configurations.
  • A model of a networked system using Microsoft Visio.
    • Note: You may use either the Basic Network Diagram or Detailed Network Diagram symbol sets.
  • A brief one- to two-paragraph summary of the home network configuration following your updates.

The IP address and DNS

The IP address refers to numbers given to all devices linked to a network that communicates
through an internet protocol. An IP address is vital in networking because the numeric act as a
label that identifies a device in a computer network, thus facilitating communication in
networking. (Ren & Feng, 2017).
DNS is a service that keeps the domain names which later translated to a form that computers
can understand that is IP address. Computer devices are limited to access to addresses using
DNS. The primary role of DNS is translating the domain names into computer lan...
