Module 3 - Build a Prototype or Pilot for the Network Structure
Section 2 - Test the Prototype or Pilot
PH Network Services Corporation: Solution
1. What criteria will you use to validate that
the pilot is a success?
-
The pilot network of one hospital, one LAN-based doctor office, and one
standalone-based office, should be connected and completely tested by ping
tests and user logins. The new SQL Server could then be added and the connection
tested for the pilot network.
-
Once these tests have proven the operational status of the network, the
other hospitals should be added, followed by doctor offices, with an orderly,
planned methodology.
2. Provide a list of the Cisco IOS software commands
you will use to test your prototype network structure.
-
Use the following Cisco IOS software commands to determine if the design
meets performance, scalability, and stability goals:
-
Check for errors with show interface commands.
-
Check broadcast rates per interface with show interface commands.
-
Check for dropped packets with show interface commands.
-
Check router CPU usage with the show processes command.
-
Check router buffer usage with the show buffers command.
-
Check response times with the ping command.
-
Check for correct routing with the trace and show [protocol]
route commands.
