It includes active directory, DNS (Domain Name Service), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and acts as the gateway to the internet. It also asks as an application server for the Student manager application and its associated database.
• A Student server also has Windows Server 2016 installed on it and is used by the students for study purposes. It also has active directory on it, and a separate domain implementing DNS and DHCP services.
Network Attached Storage is used for accessing both staff and student files. A UPS is used to protect the network from power loss and electrical surges.
The current network diagram of how the network components fits together is shown as follows:
