Scenario 1-1: Planning and Documenting a Basic LAN
Proseware, Inc. requires you to implement a 20-computer LAN. Fifteen of these
computers will be Windows 7 clients and five will be Windows Server 2008 computers.
The company also requires a 24-port switch, router, DSL Internet connection, DMZ with
web server, and a laptop for the CEO. Create a diagram of the network documentation for
this in Microsoft Visio or on paper. Refer to Figures 1-1 through 1-3 for types of devices
