Hello, I would like to conduct a Survey of your workplace, if it uses a network, or an organization in your area (insurance company. School district, your ISP, etc) to determine which network transport model, cabling types, and transmission speeds are used on their LANs. From this information, you can determine the most popular networking design approaches.
Call or e-mail the IT department manager and ask him or her the following questions:
1. Does your network use Ethernet, Token Ring, or both?
2. What transmission speed does your network use?
3. On what type of backbone does your network rely?
4. What type of wiring does your network use? Do you use the same type of wiring for the backbone as you do for connecting workstations?
5. Do you use WAN technologies? If so, in what kind of a topology are your separate locations arranged?
6. If you had all the money you wanted in your budget, what type of upgrades would you make to your network? If you only had enough money for one, which would it be?
Thanks so much.
