$3)$ Create an enhanced network design using a logical topology diagram. Identify major network elements $($e$.$g$.,$ servers, switches, gateways$),$ end devices, and their locations within the private and protected network segments. Display the new network design as indicated in the report template.

NOTES:

I. You do not have to display $50$ workstations $$ display two, and number them $1$ and $50$ to indicate there are $50$ workstations.

Scenario

The Corporation Techs' current network consists of $1$ web server $($accessible by the public$),2$ application

servers, $2$ database servers, $2$ file and print servers, and $50$ workstations. The web server runs

Linux$/$Apache$,$ the other servers run Microsoft Windows Server, and the workstations run Microsoft

Windows. The network is connected through a series of switches, is not physically connected to other

networks, and runs Internet Protocol version $4($IPv$4).$ The network is protected by a single border firewall.

The senior network architect, whom you work for directly, has verified the company's business goals and

has determined the features and functions required to meet those goals.

The senior network architect has asked you to create a network design that includes the following

components:

Current infrastructure elements

A logical topology that separates the Accounting and Sales departments

Redundant communication paths

Justification for continuing with IPv$4,$ upgrading to IPv$6,$ or using both

Create your design using proper network appliance and end device icons

Tasks

For this part of the project, perform the following tasks:

Create the original network design based on the description given and display it as indicated in the

template. Use proper network appliance and end device icons to create your logical topology.

Conduct research to determine the best network design to ensure security of internal access while

retaining public website availability.

Create an enhanced network design using a logical topology diagram. Identify major network

elements $($e$.$g$.,$ servers, switches, gateways$),$ end devices, and their locations within the private and

protected network segments. Display the new network design as indicated in the report template.

NOTES:

I. You do not have to display $50$ workstations $-$ display two, and number them $1$ and $50$ to

indicate there are $50$ workstations.

II$.$ You will update this design later in the project.

Include a high$-$level plan that ensures communications are available $24/7.$

Recommend whether to continue using IPv$4,$ upgrade to IPv$6,$ use both, and explain why.

Create an APA $7$ style report detailing all information as supportive documentation.

Cite your sources both in$-$text and in the references section of the report.
