You are the network administrator of Lenix Ventures, a small but growing company that sells high performance race car parts. At this time, the company has 31 nodes on a single flat LAN, and growth is expected to be modest at this time. The company has a Cisco 2911 router and two Cisco Catalyst 2950-24 switches. The router has a direct connection to the Internet through a cable provider's Business Class services for small business.
Your manager has tasked you with a suite of requirements.
Requirement 1.
The first requirement is to list all of the components that are present in your network, to describe which components must be monitored, and to identify the security requirements of each monitored component. Your manager has asked that you produce a network diagram that describes your network and that you support the diagram with a spreadsheet that lists each of the monitored components. The network diagram must be delivered in a common file format, such as .gif, .jpg or .png; other file formats for your network diagram are not acceptable. Your spreadsheet must include columns that identify the components and describe what you will monitor on each component. Your spreadsheet must be delivered in .xls format; other file formats for your spreadsheet are not acceptable. Do not neglect to address intangibles, such as throughput and environment.
