NETWORK DESIGN CONFIGURATION AND SECURITY1
Summary
The board members of Talon Textile Fasteners (TTF) have realised that in order to continue
progressing the company needs a major upgrade of their network infrastructure. The report
analyses the network requirements of TTF and proposes the upgraded network design to meet
the various demands of their business expansion. First the report provides a summary of
requirements and presenting the device needs in a tabular format. Then this report jumps to
the network proposal section and suggests the design with the help of a design diagram while
also explaining the network configuration and addressing. Thereafter the various components
of TTF network’s active directory get discussed according to the user groups, the Sites and
the Organizational Units with careful attention given towards role of users as per their
respective domains and organizational units. Then this report describes the server roles and
their layouts along with the necessary project related documents as in user sign off, server
task lists and the server test plan. Following that, the report provides the plans for
maintenance and afterwards lists down the specifications for the routers and servers installed.
Then, after talking about the security policies and measures of the network, the report ends
with observations in the conclusions section.
