Self-Assessment Checklist▪ I determined the best network design to ensure the security of internal access while retaining public website availability.▪ I designed a network configuration with physical and logical topologies, and identified major network elements and their locations within the private and protected network segments.▪ I created a plan that ensures communications are available 24/7.▪ I recommended whether to continue using IPv4 or upgrade to IPv6, and explained why.▪ I created a basic network diagram that illustrates the current network and enhancements.▪ I created a professional, well-developed report with proper documentation, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.▪ I followed the guidelines. ScenarioThe Corporation Techs' current network consists of 1 web server (accessible by the public), 2 applicationservers, 2 database servers, 2 file and print servers, and 50 workstations. The web server runsLinux/Apache, the other servers run Microsoft Windows Server, and the workstations run MicrosoftWindows. The network is connected through a series of switches, is not physically connected to othernetworks, and runs Internet Protocol version 4 (IPV4). 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 andhas 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 followingcomponents:Current infrastructure elementsA logical topology that separates the Accounting and Sales departmentsRedundant communicationsJustification for continuing with IPV4 or upgrading to IPV6TasksFor this part of the project, perform the following tasks:1.Conduct research to determine the best network design to ensure security of internal accesswhile retaining public website availability.2. Design a network configuration with physical and logical topologies. Identify major networkelements (e.g., servers, switches, gateways) and their locațions within the private and protectednetwork segments.3.Include a high-level plan that ensures communications are available 24/7.4.Recommend whether to continue using IPV4 or upgrade to IPV6, and explain why.5.Create a basic network diagram that illustrates the current network and enhancements. Include afew workstations to represent all workstations on the internal network. The diagram will be veryhigh level at this stage and include only necessary details. You may use a software tool or simplypencil and paper. You will update this design later in the project.6. Create a draft report detailing all information as supportive documentation.7.
