Question 32
In the CareTaker case study, both the parent corporation’s and CareTaker’s management have repeatedly expressed the requirement that everything will work before the move takes place. Read the following solution and select the best answer.
Because the network will be installed in a new building, your proposal is that the new communication lines be installed between the three locations in parallel with the existing lines. One of the new servers would be used as a test server. A minimum of one PC would be attached to each LAN segment in the new building. This attachment should be done in the computer room at the Catalyst 5002 switch to eliminate cable issues, which are not the responsibility of the internetwork design. The server would be placed on a 100-Mbps port of the switch. A single PC at the warehouse would be connected to the Cisco 2503 router. All circuits and paths would then be tested.
Will error-free pinging and tracing of packets on the various segments and the WAN links test the network design enough to validate that the pilot is successful?
a. Yes. For a network this size, error-free pinging and tracing of packets on the various segments and
the WAN segments will be adequate.b. No. Additional and more through testing should be done using various Cisco IOS software commands
and possibly a protocol analyzer.
