To meet the networking needs of Copp Law Firm PC, we propose a network configuration that includes the following:

DNS (Domain Name System): To resolve domain names to IP addresses and vice versa, we will deploy DNS servers at each location to ensure fast and reliable name resolution.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): To automate IP address assignment to client devices, we will implement DHCP servers at each location to minimize network management overhead.

Network Protocols: We will deploy common network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP to ensure efficient and reliable communication between devices.

WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service): We will use WINS servers to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses and vice versa for legacy applications that rely on NetBIOS.

IP Routing: To enable communication among the three locations, we will configure routers with static routes or dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.

Certificate Services: We will deploy certificate servers to issue and manage digital certificates for secure communication over the network.

The proposed network configuration is scalable, secure, and efficient, and it meets the networking needs of Copp Law Firm. The deployment of this network configuration will enhance the firm's productivity, streamline its communication, and enable it to expand its services and operations to multiple cities in the future.

 

Here is the proposed network above, from the proposed network:

• Describe the maintenance procedures planned for the proposed network, including a schedule of maintenance activities and the steps required for each activity.
• Identify the network operations that will be monitored, the information that will be gathered, and the meaning of the information as it relates to potential system problems.
• List at least 3 potential network problem scenarios, and identify the troubleshooting procedure that will be used if this scenario occurs.
