Question:
The company you work for (Telex) is acquiring a competitor (Virex), and both networks need to be integrated. Each company has a WAN with three locations and a single internet connection. Each network is using the same private IP address block (10.0.0.0/24).
Telex:
- Corporate network is 10.0.0.0/24
- Warehouse network is 10.0.1.0/24
- Remote Office network is 10.0.2.0/24
Virex:
- Corporate network is 10.0.1.0/24
- Warehouse network is 10.0.2.0/24
- Remote Office network is 10.0.3.0/24
Discuss as a team the pros and cons to using a WAN over the Internet or VPN-based WAN. Based on your discussions outcome, decide as a group if a VPN-based WAN is a good solution to connect the two organizations (Telex and Virex).
Create a 6- to 8-slide presentation with the pros and cons of the solution and your recommendation on how to proceed with the WAN connection between the two organizations. Format the completed slides and speaker notes in the presentation following APA guidelines.
