NETWORK PROJECT ANALYSIS. 4120 3 pages for each question SPRING 2018 Research Activities 1. Identify the types of connectivity devices being used in the local area network at your school or workplace, and describe why they're being used. Are any of the devices net- work managed? How do your network administrators use the information collected from the managed devices? 2. Using the search tools available to you, identify three or more switch manufacturing companies and describe the features of two different switch types from each company. Based on what you know so far, how might you use the devices you've identified in a local area network? 3. Using the search tools available to you, identify two or more router manufacturing companies and describe the features of three different router types from each company. Based on what you know so far, how might you use the devices you've identified in a local area network? 4. Identify the network protocols that are used in the local area network at your school or workplace. Why were these protocols chosen for your network? Was IPX ever imple- mented in your local area network? Why? If your network is using IP, what address class(es) is being used? Why? See if you can find out if and how Class D and Class E addresses are used in your network. 5. Identify how IP addresses are assigned in the local area network at your school or workplace. Were any other methods used to assign IP addresses prior to the current configuration? Why was the current configuration chosen?

Question 1
A local area network basically consists of a number of computers and associated devices,
which share a common or neutral communication line or server within a specified geographic
region or office. It is used by the computers in order to enable sharing of resources such as the
printer or the network storage. The local area network has the capacity to serve a few individuals
in a small office or hundreds of individuals located in large offices. The local area network
comprises of cables, switches and routers, which have the capacity to allow users, connect to
internal servers and websites via wide area networks.
Several devices are located in the Local Area Network. One of the major devices contained in
the local area network is the Network Adapter. It mainly ensures the conversion of computer data
into electric signals. There is always silence on the network cable. The network adapter listens to
the silence and applies the data to it in the case of an opportunity. Proper management of the
items allows for its better working. Therefore, one has to be aware of the network access part of
the network adapter to ensure that they make use of the adapter in the best way possible. Media
Access Control forms the Network Access Part of the adapter and offers great help in terms of
the management of the adapter.
Switches are too part of the devices that are contained in the local area network. It is a device
that facilitates the connection of diverse devices in a computer network. Through the use of
packet switching, they facilitate excellent receiving, processing and forwarding data to needed
locations. They are part of the hardware components that are known to ensure that network
communication becomes a reality. Hardware cabling is always needed to make the networking
possible as they permit the flow of data. The switch plays a significant role in ensuring that there

proper is proper connection of the hardware cables. The switches do contain diverse ports, a
feature that leads to the great variation of the switches. The switches do facilitate the managing
of the network through its ability to prioritize on the power being directed to the different local
area networks (Mahalingam and Mallik, 7348).
The network communication calls for the interconnection of the media files, hence the need of
media converters. They play a significant role in ensuring there is proper connection of the
diverse media files. The media converters are made up of a twisted pair opting. Communication
protocols are an important section of networking. Media great ensure proper connection of the
network protocols. The internet and the cabling types are some of the communication protocols
that function in the presence of the media converters. They are also useful when connecting
multiple LANS to form one large Area Network, which is able to cover a large geographic area
(Doppler and Klaus, 12). The feature is further considered advantageous citing its ability to
integrate fiber optic cabling and active equipment into existing copper structured cabling
systems. The service providers also work to ensure fasten the deployment and offer low cost
service to customers. The medial converters form the essential features in ensuring that such a
function becomes a reality. This is in addition to transferring the local n...
