You have been hired as an experienced network engineer to design a network that will integrate SNMP, Netflow, and syslog to monitor network health. The wired network consists of five departments in a two-story building using IPv4 currently. Research and create a list of requirements for deploying SNMP, Netflow, and syslog into the network with minimal impact to users and customers. Including all three services into the network may require new IP addresses to be allocated. Make sure new IP addresses are listed in the requirements.
Write a minimum 3-page paper and draw a network diagram that will be inserted into your plan to present to your manager, who has a technical background, that details your plan and your timeline for implementation.
Make sure that:
1. Your plan includes equipment and configuration information.
2. Your plan is comprehensive and has one or more network diagrams that portray your plan.
3. Your plan includes your proposed network changes and a 2-sentence outage message that will be sent by a broadcast email to the affected users.
4. Your plan includes other concerns about this change and other departments that should potentially be contacted before the change.
5. Your plan contains an APA title page, running header, table of contents, abstract, and references page.
Parameters/Expectations:
In addition to the above criteria, please ensure the following:
1. The plan’s viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained.
2. The plan should follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling).
3. The plan’s writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful.
4. Current APA formatting and citation style should be followed.
