Originally, networks were for sharing “expensive” resources, such as hard disk and printers (such as laser printers). Eventually, the concept of a communications server was developed. The topic for this discussion is a possible design for a connection to the internet for a small business with 3 departments. Assume the following:
· There will be a gateway/router that is the internet connection.
· There will also be a web server, a mail server or a name server. From this collection of machines there must be connections to three departments.
· Assume that there are 3 users in each of the three departments and make the departments be payroll, sales and management.
· Mention a possible list of software that should be running.
There are several possible right answers, the participation is what counts and you do not have to cover all ‘parts’.
