2NETWORK TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
Introduction:
Colour ability corporation is based on Birbane and want helps for implementing and
update their new it resources. CAC currently hires 80 employees and operates from Level 10
and 11 on the X Tower in Brisbane CBD. CAC has recently purchased a four-story building
in a Brisbane suburb where they can allocate a separate floor to each of their four
departments, i.e., marketing, advertising, design and photography and HR and accounting.
They plan to move to their new office in three months. Also, CAC’s list of customers has
greatly expanded to other cities, mainly Sydney where their customers in Sydney are
demanding more interactive advertising media, including video presentations. The
management recognizes the business potential in this new market in Sydney and have leased
a small office in Sydney (aka CAC’s fifth department) to host 8 local employees.

ISP is responsible for providing the internet connection and basic supports for email
and ftp hosting. CAC, network infrastructures is also predefined in the figure, according to
this figure, the internet connection is distributed through external routers, one for Sydney and
other for Bridbane. This routers must be configured to enable DNS and DHCP connection.
They have almost 80 employees and for every one of them must be given a different IP
address and also inter connection between different departments in necessary. They also must
enable routing between two offices in order to communicate and transferring files. Other than
that, they need configure their server internally as crucial business information will be stored
in these server. They need to manage and monitor their server and database.

Activity 8
CAC is concern about vulnerability in their network infrastructure. Their network
infrastructure is very simple as the only planning to use public IP address. External
infrastructure is configured with DHCP and they used static routing for the internal devices.
The can use both private network address along with the public IP address. The private
network address range is limited to 192 which can be used for connect ISP with the router.
Other network can use the public IP address.

Conclusion:
The above report provides the recommendation for CAC as they are seeking to
implement their IT resources. They needs multiple new devices for their employees as they
appoint 80 employees and trying to extend their business as well. This report consist of the
recommendation for purchasing and configuring such devices. Such devices are widely
selected which will meet their requirements and under budget as well. Later, the network
infrastructure is analyzed and possible addresses are recommended for every network
devices.
