Throughout The Course You Will Be Working With Improvements To the Bed Throughout the course, you will be working with improvements to the Bedford Campus and its satellite campus in Mayberry. The Bedford Campus, with its 12 full-time employees and two classrooms, has recently increased its online enrollment to 1500 students working asynchronously. The increase in student population has caused a significant slowdown in network connectivity in the classroom, with reports indicating it can take up to twenty minutes or longer to connect to the online classroom or access the Internet. You have been tasked with determining the root cause of this problem. The analysis should start with a holistic view of the Bedford Campus network diagram to understand the topology. Then, proceed through the OSI model layers to identify the problem. Additionally, look for potential choke points that may be contributing to the network slowdown. After locating the potential cause of the issue, design an improved network configuration that addresses these problems. Develop a comprehensive, one-page network diagram using Microsoft Visio illustrating the recommended improvements, including wireless enhancements. The diagram should depict the following elements: routers and switches, wireless access point solutions, VLAN configurations, and potential resolutions to identified choke points. Assumptions can be made where necessary to complete the diagram and to ensure a clear, feasible solution that enhances network performance.

Paper For Above instruction The exponential growth in online enrollment at Bedford Campus underscores the necessity for a resilient and scalable network infrastructure. As the number of users increases, especially in a synchronized and asynchronous learning environment, network performance becomes crucial for maintaining educational quality and operational efficiency. Addressing the connectivity issues begins with a comprehensive assessment of the current network topology, followed by a systematic diagnosis based on the OSI model layers to pinpoint bottlenecks and choke points. **Understanding the Network Topology** The Bedford Campus network, inclusive of its satellite in Mayberry, can be visualized as a hierarchical topology comprising core routers, distribution switches, access switches, and wireless access points (APs). Currently, the network appears to rely on a limited number of switches and perhaps a single router
