HellenS, at work.
Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) page paper in which you
complete the following three (3) Parts. Note: Please use the
following page breakdown to complete your assignment:
Overall network diagram: One (1) page
Datapath diagrams: Three (3) pages (one for each diagram)
Write-up: six to ten (6-10) pages
Part 1
Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a
diagram showing the overall network you’ve designed from the
user or endpoint device to the Internet cloud, and everything in
between, in which you:
Follow the access, core, distribution layer model.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/termpaperprojectdesigningasecurenetworkdueweek10andwor-221204072402-1681b5d4/85/Term-Paper-Project-Designing-a-Secure-Network-Due-Week-10-and-wor-docx-1-320.jpg)
