Unicom 2 port 100BaseTX / 6 port 100BaseFX (SC) SwitchMBA 5670 Managing Information TechnologiesExercise 3: Contoso Inc. NetworkEach of the 15 employees of Contoso Inc. uses a stand-alone PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista in a regular basis to do his/her job (word processing, spreadsheet, and database management). Contoso Inc. is thinking about implementing a local area network (LAN) to provide file service as well as print service with one existing laser printer that is fed by three ports: (a) a parallel port, (b) a USB port, and (c) an RJ45 UTP port.Three computers have 10 Mbps Ethernet NICs with RJ45 UTP connectors. The remaining computers have auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet NIC with RJ45 UTP connectors.1) The chief manager at Contoso is seeking your advice to help him decide how manyserver computers the company should buy and what characteristics the server(s) musthave to adequately provide the services. Discuss the issue.2) The chief manager was pleased with your advice and was impressed by the way you discussed the issue. He offered you a consultant job. As a consultant hired to planand supervise the LAN implementation, you have evaluated and compared different LAN protocols and standards that could be used in the Contoso’s LAN. You have decided that implementing a 100BaseFX Ethernet LAN is the best option. Now, your next step is to determine what additional hardware components (besides the existing ones) the company needs to buy in order to implement the 100BaseFX network. The company management wants you to determine the total cost of the additional hardware components so they can decide whether or not they can afford a 100BaseFX network.You should review the list of network equipment available in the Appendix and come up with a table like the one shown below. You should assume that the average distance between devices in the network is 10 feet given the company’s office layout.Hardware component Item # Qty Price TotalItem: ORiNOCO 54Mbps 802.11b/g wireless access point.Function: Allows mobile stations to communicate with each other in a WLAN. It receives signals from one station and forwards it to the destination station.10 1 $419.00 $419.001/8Overall total: $FORMAT OF PAPER:Your Assignment must be typed, edited and presented in the following order:(1) Title Page (with your name, your class and section, name of case and due date)(2) Answers to questions 1 and 2Note 1: For question 2, only the complete table is needed. The first column of your table must include the name and function of each hardware component as illustrated in the example. You must use your own words to specify the function of each hardware device. You will lose points if you just copy/paste.Note 2: STAPLE THE COMPLETED ASSIGNMENT, NO FOLDERS, BINDERS 2/8This is just an example to show how the items should appear in the table. The item listed is not something you necessarily need to buy.AppendixUnicom's 100BaseFX PCI Network Interface card allows you to connect directly to a Multimode fiber optic network by using dual ST connector. With thefull-duplex feature, you have the ability to double the bandwidth from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps, giving you the opportunity to connect a workstation or server 2,000 meters away. In addition, the Plug and Play feature makes installation easy.
