Software Corporation is an organization with offices in seven locations. The headquarters are connected to these locations by routers in a hub-and-spoke pattern. The routing protocol used is Routing Information Protocol (RIP). There are thirty LAN nodes with two servers in each location. Each LAN has a windows operating system. The servers are connected to the LAN with switches and routers.
In a Microsoft Word document, draw the architecture of the network for this corporation using simulated data to show how one would use protocol distribution on the network.
Based on your understanding of networking concepts, answer the following:
- Describe the process of how one would distribute network protocols on the network.
- Based on the specifications in the project description document above, describe in a list format specific values for how you would simulate the configuration of SNMP for the following specific agent values below:
- Configure SNMP traps
- Record real agent values
- Record SNMP devices on the enterprise network
- Configure SNMPv3 security
In the absence of SNMP and Remote Monitoring (RMON) protocols, what would have been the state of enterprise-wide networks?
