MIS 589 Week 4 Discussion Questions
Week 4: 1. Sally’s Shoes (mini case): Sally Smith runs a shoe store in the mall that is about 30 feet by 50 feet in size, including a small office and a storage area in the rear. The store has one inventory computer in the storage area and one computer in the office. She is replacing the two cash registers with computers that will act as cash registers but will also be able to communicate with the inventory computer. Sally wants to network the computers with a LAN. What sort of LAN design would you recommend? What would be your suggestions to improve the performance of this LAN? 2. Good posting! What is the definition of a print server? 3. Please describe in detail a minimum of two types of servers and give examples. 4 What are the limitation of wireless networks? 5 What key elements should adjust or replaced to increase a LAN's performance? Week 4b: 1. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of VLANs? How can a VLAN architecture improve LAN performances? 2 The posting stated, "We split up the LANs in our office into smaller vlans". This is good but when should an administrator upgrade to a switched backbone? 3 How would you explain the difference between a VLAN and a router to one of your class mates? 4 Please define and provide an example of token ring. By the way, what replaced token ring?
