Scenario and Phase 1: Project Description
A company has several people responsible for maintaining various sections of the internetwork
infrastructure. Many technicians have done an excellent job with the small portion for which
they are responsible.
One of the other network associates who was responsible for a larger portion of the
infrastructure suddenly left the company. This left redesign and implementation on this portion
of the internetwork unfinished. A technician is given the task to complete the design and
implementation of the unfinished network.
After taking home the documentation to study over the weekend, it is apparent to the
technician why the network associate left suddenly. The few documents that existed were
poorly written. So during the weekend the technician reconstructs the diagram above from an
existing diagram that was found. It represents the new internetwork design. It shows the
planned routers, hubs/switches, circuits, and the servers/workstations at each site. The server
at the Center site is a file server accessed only by workstations on this internetwork. The
workstation at the Center site is used to manage all routers on the internetwork.
After returning to work Monday morning, the technician presents the new diagram to the
Network Infrastructure Team Leader that assigned the project. After discussion, it is
determined that new documentation must be developed for the project. The Team Leader, the
instructor, must approve the documentation at each phase of the process. Use the following
information to implement the network.
