The workshop style is for the informal setup with the conducive to collaborative learning with the brainstorming sessions with the user share success stories and then working on the solving of issues. It is for encouraging of the users to work on the reference guides with the offering by the vendors.

Allow reversal action if the implementation doesn’t work

The communicating and notification are for the implementation with the primary location of business which is affected through the fire and flood. It is for the shift of the operations with the good communication plan with the arise of the new locations and the good communication plan. It is for the previously agreed mode for the telephone and the email and SMS. The contact details with the contingency planning on the execution of project.

Implement contingency plan

The implementation contingency plan is for the performance for the different tasks. The project follows the good knowledge for the sharing practices, with the good documentation. It will tend to facilitate the induction with the new support staff for the assistance. The important is for the communication to the client for the regular person with not affecting the delivery schedule of project. The implementation on the contingency with the need to handle the client communication. It is for the mitigation on the risks that is under control.

Your trainer will provide you with the template of the report, and you need to complete that template by doing the research. Once the template is completed, you need to submit it to the trainer for assessment.

Template: Report on future traffic problems

Introduction

The service monitors the network with the installation of the agent programs with the monitoring of network. Hence, there are single site LANs and the multi-site WANs which is for the cloud resources. Most of the network monitors are the Datadof services with the reliability on the SNMP servers for the live statistics. It tends to enable the monitoring to seek for the devices and then get into the services.

Future traffic problems

The percentage change is for the traffic that is detected over the time.

Greater capacity of the planning tool with the handling of the inefficient cabling and the overloading of the links and calibrated load balancers

Problem with the production of the overloaded servers.

The remapping on the Vs with the ensuring of the constant capacity availability with spotting the changes as needed and then moved or removed from network.

Recommendations

The tracking is for the system logs with the network and interpreting the records for analysis

The approach is for the exploring of methods with the accommodation them with the managing on the network utilization.

There is a need to work on the monitoring of the site LANs with the multi-site WANs.

Conclusion

it will facilitate induction of new support staff (developers / testers) for assistance. It is important to communicate to the client that the absence of the regular person will not affect the project delivery schedule.

Activity 10: Discussion of traffic problems and recommendations

This activity is in continuation with the previous activity.

In this activity, you need to conduct a meeting with your manager about potential traffic problems, which can arise in future.

Activity 11: Delivery of updated reports

This activity is in continuation with the previous activity.

After the completion of the activity 9, you need to update the reports according to the recommendations made in the meeting and write an email to the Manage (Trainer) to update him that the reports are being updated and has been attached in the email. In the email, you need to attach all the relevant documents required for managing network traffic.

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a service that protects your data and provides you with more privacy when you’re online by routing your internet connection through a server. A VPN can protect you from hackers, or even online ads, and is a secure option, particularly if you’re often using public wi-fi.

Some internet service providers (ISP) use broadband traffic management to moderate upload bandwidth if this is the case for your ISP, you can use a VPN, which will prevent your ISP from recognising how large your files are, enabling you to send them.

Every so often, your network team will have to upgrade network capacity and speeds to match your enterprise’s demands. If your team does not upgrade its hardware along with it, you could be opening the door to bottlenecks. Whenever possible, your team should upgrade your switches, servers, routers, etc. to have the most optimal hardware layout. This also extends to wire and cable connections between devices. Ethernet cables, for example, have different categories that determine their maximum data speed. If your Ethernet cables are not able to handle the data speeds your network requires, they can slow down your network tremendously.

Activity 12: Regular network traffic management

Additional scenario

It has 6 months now that Career training has monitored the traffic on the network. The staff, students and services on internet services has increased. The speed of the internet is dropping, and the contingency plan is not working either. You need to repeat all the activities one till 11 and come measure the traffic on the network, and develop the contingency plan.
