System Management Assignment | Local Area Network (LAN)_1
Technology and features used.The installation of the Local Area Network that covers four department where it should have theservers and the clients requires various technologies to be implemented some of the technologies to beemployed are as follows:i.Configuration of DHCP ServerThis is called the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server which its main purpose is to provide thehosts internet protocols which is automated process of providing the clients in the network with IPaddresses without being configured ,however it also give the clients devices subnets masks and defaultgateways as well [1]. Below are some advantages that will be associated by the DHCP server:i.Reliability in configurations of the IP addresses .This is where the DHCP minimize anypossible error that arises while configuring the IP address through manual way.ii.Reduction of the networks administrations. This is where there is no much supervisionrequired to configure the IP addresses.iii.Centralization and automation configurations of the TCP/IP.iv.Easy definition of the TCP/IP configuration from a centralized place.v.It gives efficiency in how to handle the IP address in case the clients changes.vi.Enables the easy forward of the first DHCP messages by help of the DHCP relays agents andthus one DHCP is required for all subnets. ii.Configuration of DNS serverThis is Domain Name System sever that will be used to give names of the clients and hosts in thenetwork since it will have a collection of the IP address and the host names and it mainly resolves thesimilarities in names of some IP addresses.However it plays a great role in giving computers names and services in the networks that has ahierarchy of domain, however those users of the network will be enabled to locate the computers byhelp of the DNS server like the hosted website in the network WEB server [2]..Therefore the clients in this network will be able to locate the WEB server host to access the website byhelp of the DNS services where they need to use a name instead of the IP address to reach the webserver host.

Below are some of the other uses of the DNS server in this network.a.Supporting of the Active Directories domain Service. b.Enables the integrations to other services of the networking.c.Improvements in terms of administrations by making it easy.d.Enhances the compliance to RFC which supports the dynamic update protocols.iii.Configuration of WEB server This another technology that will be used where it will be computer server that will enable processing ofthe HTTP requests using the domain name which will be used to do distribution of the information viathe world wide web protocols ,However there will be software as well the hardware that will constitute the WEB server ,where thewebsite will be hosted and the clients can be able to access it though a given URL .This WEB server will be used to do storage, processing and delivering of the website’s web pages to therequesting clients.The communication between the webs server and the clients will facilitated by help of the TransferProtocol (HTTP) and this will enable the clients get access to the web pages as requested. iv.Configuration of FILE servers This technology will be used by installing a server in the network that will be used to centralize theability to storing and also managing the data files and this will enable the users in the network to haveaccess to the stored files .However this FILE server will facilitate easy sharing of data and documents among the network usersinstead of incurring more expense of buying portable media to transfer files .v.installation of SWITCHThis is device that will be used in this LAN and it will be used to connect various devices together in thenetwork it however uses the switching ability in order to do receiving ,processing and forwarding of thedata to the destination clients devices.

vi.Configuration of ROThis is device that will be used in forwarding of the packet of the data within or between the networkdevices ,however it will be used to redirect the network traffics through the internet connections untilthe packet reach the desired clients in the network.vii.Configuration of COMPUTERSThe computers are the network end devices that will be used by the clients in the departments level todo various operations like accessing the websites, sharing of data over the network and printing of thedocuments through the network.viii.Configuration of PRINTERS.The printer will be installed in the operations departments and the files printed from any departmentwill be collected from that department .ix.Configuration of the users files server authentications.The steps of implementation and configuration of technologies.The TridentS network will be a local area network that will be covering the Developers, Marketing,Operations, and Finance departments where there will be some devices in each department.This network will made of various devices which includes one router ,one switch ,three servers and fourcomputers ,however these devices will be distributed as in the below network diagram.

In order to implement all the services there are various technologies that will be configured and theyincludes below.i.Router configuration.ii.DHCP server configuration.iii.Computers configuration .iv.WEB server configuration and web page creation.v.DNS server configuration and domain name configuration.vi.Configuration of the users files server authentications.All these technologies need to be configured and below are the steps followed.Step 1: Router configurationThis is the process where the router is configured to allow the connection between the switch androuter and also between the FILE server and the router, this will allow all the network devices tocommunicate with each other, the below are the commands used to do configuration [3].
