Question

Well-designed networks follow the OSI model, and a good understanding of the structure of a network is important in a Network Management Guide. This project's task will bring the OSI model to the documentation and map the system to this model.

For this assignment, you will modify your Network Management Guide document to show how the network in your scenario organization maps to the OSI model and how network management functions map to the FCAPS network model.

The following are the project deliverables:
•Update the Network Management Guide document title page with a new date and document name.
•Update the previously completed sections based on your instructor's feedback.
•Week 3: Network Model  ◦For each layer of the OSI model, illustrate (through diagrams and text descriptions) the association of the scenario organization’s network components (hardware and software) to the model layers. Name the hardware devices used at each layer as well as some protocols used at each layer. For example, at which layer is the router used? At which layer is the TCP protocol used?
◦For each layer, include a discussion of how the components communicate between the layers.
◦For each layer of the FCAPS (fault, configuration, accounting, performance, security), discuss the management function in detail and how the separation allows for the identification and allocation of the correct resources.

•Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
