Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide

You have been tasked with creating an overall LAN/WAN Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide for a medium-sized business with locations as follows:

• Location 1, New York State - 100 users
• Location 2, Pennsylvania - 200 users, servers that host email, collaboration tools, and the ERP/CRM system
• Location 3, California - 50 users
• All with the capability to work from home

You will create a portion of this guide each week with the final documents due in Week Five.

For Week Two, write a 2- to 3-page summary of your WAN configuration using Microsoft® Word. Be sure to include:

• A list of all the protocols you would recommend. Accurately describe at least three.
• An accurate description of how using MPLS in a network would be different from traditional network designs
• Tools you could use to troubleshoot your WAN. Accurately describe at least two that will allow you to troubleshoot efficiently.
• How you would enable internet connectivity for the organization. Make sure your choices are logical and defensible.
