iLab 2: Office Network
Expansion

In this lab, we will be simulating an office network that evaluates the effects
of a proposed expansion.

The following tutorials
will lead you through creating a network simulation. You will first be creating
the existing office network. Next, you will run the simulation of the current
office network to get a baseline to compare the effects of the expansion. Then,
you will create a second scenario that includes the expansion. You will run
this simulation and compare the results of the expansion on the network with
the current office network.

• Open the IT Guru 15 tutorials
• Expand the tutorials link
• Expand the basic tutorials link
• Expand the small internetworks link and complete the
  Introduction, Getting Started, Creating the Network, Collecting
  Statistics, Viewing the Results, Expanding the Network, and the Comparing
  Results sections.

After completing the IT
Guru Small Internetworks tutorial, take a screenshot usingCtrl + prtscor
another screen capture utility. Arrange the screen so that all items can be
seen. The screen must contain the following:

• Final network configuration
• Graph of overlaid results of the server statistics
• Graph of the overlaid results of the global statistics

Paste the screenshot
into a Word document.

Include in the Word
document containing your screenshot of the final results your written analysis
on the proposed expansion. Address the following in your analysis:

• Effect on server load
• Effect on network load
• What would be your recommendation on the expansion?
