Module 4: Activity
Do
some research at your school. See if you can figure out where all the
cables lead, and try to figure out how your school’s network or LAN is
set up. Draw a basic diagram of this LAN. Include the computers,
servers, printers, switches, wireless access points and anything else
that is part of the network. To draw it, you can use a site like www.lucidchart.com or simply draw it out by hand.
Hint:
You don’t actually have to draw out the building itself unless you
want to. Most network diagrams simply show how the network is designed
and not how exactly the network is placed in a building. Check out this example of a hand drawn home network: http://cl.ly/5hDb
Do: Go to course site and post your work. Reminder: All
posts should be appropriate for public viewing. Be sure and provide
feedback to others who post. Find 1 thing you liked and 1 thing you
feel they could improve on. Be professional and remember that words may
be taken wrong, if you’re not careful on how you say things.
