Network Management.
8.1 Network Documentation.
*Cut sheet diagrams.
The first and most critical component for a good network is documentation. Documentation is the most talked about and least performed task in a network. ï‚· diagrams that indicate the path of the physical wiring layout; ï‚· the type of cable; ï‚· the length of each cable; ï‚· the type of termination for the cable; ï‚· physical location of each wall plate or patch panel, and; ï‚· A labeling scheme for easy identification of each wire.
* MDF and IDF layouts
This is a Physical and logical layout of the Main Distribution Facility and all of the Intermediate Distribution Facilities in the network, layout of rack mounts, auxiliary equipment, and servers in the distribution facility, patch panel labels to identify cable terminations. Identification and configuration details of all equipment located in the distribution facility.
*Server and workstation configuration details
This is any physical detail of the computer, model and serial number, Physical location, user, and network identification.
*Software listings
Standard and special software used on each machine in the network.
This list includes operating system and application software.
*Maintenance records
It is also valuable to keep a list of all repairs that have been done to all equipment included in the network. This will help an administrator predict possible future problems with existing hardware and software.
*Security measures
Includes "soft" security, such as user rights, password definition, and firewall support, but also physical security. Physical or hard security includes things as simple as identifying how the MDF and IDF's are locked, who has access to these rooms and why, how the hosts are protected (security cables - alarms), and who has physical access to the system.
*User policies
They contain how the users can interact with the network. These policies include what is and what is not permissible on the network. It should also include what the consequences of violating user policies will be. Other aspects of user policies include what minimum user ID and password length should be, and rules for the content of passwords.
8.2 Network Security includes the following.
* Network access
It involves making the network as secure as possible against unauthorized access. This is done by establishing security policies, such as minimum password length, maximum password age, unique passwords (not allowing the same password repeated), and only allowing the user to logon to the network at particular times of the day or days of the week.
Antigone is a play about a woman who disobeyed the King's order to not bury her brother. The play was written by the famous Greek tragedian, Sophocles, in 441 B.C. The story took place in the city of Thebes and the time period is not mentioned. The main characters introduced in the play are of Antigone, Ismene, Creon, and Haemon. The primary focus was centered on Antigone and the consequences she faces after breaking the King's orders.
Glorified overeating. Two words that together create the ultimate oxymoron, in a society obsessed with body image. Adam Richman, the host of the popular television program Man v. Food, is showing his viewers the sport in eating. Each episode this attractive and far from obese man eats a humanly impossible quantity of food. The feat quickly escalates into a spectacle, with chanting fans and opponents salted and deep-fried. The spectacle of overeating has been transformed into a sport and one celebrated by the media.
Antigone, by Sophocles, is a story about the struggle between Antigone, who represents the laws of the gods and Creon, who represents the laws of the state. The play takes place circa 442 B.C. in the city-state of Thebes. The story revolves around the burial of Polyneices. Polyneices led an army against his brother, Etocles, the King of Thebes. They killed each other in battle and the new king, Creon, made a decree that only Etocles was to be buried because Polyneices was his rival. Antigone, sister of Polyneices and Etocles, feels that she needs to bury Polyneices in accordance to Zeus’ law, but this went against Creon’s decree. Also, Antigone has to bury Polyneices without the help of her sister Ismene. Since Antigone decided to follow Zeus’ law, which states that all bodies must be buried, she defied Creon’s decree and buried Polyneices anyway. Caught by the guards, while burying her brother, Antigone was sent to a rocky chamber as punishment by Creon. Creon’s son, Haemon, was engaged to marry Antigone, but he along with the rest of the city thought Antigone’s death was unjust. Even after Teirsias, the blind prophet, warned Creon to release Antigone and bury Polyneices, Creon remained reluctant. Finally, Teirsias told Creon that the gods were going to punish him and Creon became worried. By the time he got to the rocky chamber, it was too late: Antigone already hung herself. Creon found his son sobbing next to her and when he told Ha...
Network Security is the protection of the computer’s network though out the entire infrastructure. It can protect very important information and computer files to help prevent theft, spyware, malware, viruses, and more. Depending on if you have a public or private network, can determine what type of security settings you need for your network. All people are different on what they want to have secured or not, but most people do not know how to prevent people or things from getting in their network. “You must have a general understanding of security terminology and specifications as it relates to configuring hardware and software systems.”(Roberts, Richard M. 599). That quote states that by knowing and understanding security terms and specifics, you can
Antigone For this paper we had to read and write about the play Antigone written by Sophocles. This play is about a tragedy between a family who do not agree on the same thing, which in the end hurts everyone. With that being said I wanted to make my paper around the theme of Justice. Justice is represented in this play very well, because the characters in this play have different views on justice.
On the other hand, a computer network is a telecommunication network of computers that enables the networked computers to exchange data between each other. However, the Acceptable Use Policy of the computer systems and network still apply here. All the computer users are assigned a specific user ID as well as a specific password that enables them to access only the information that is allowed within their authority.
System have to be constantly updated to prevent new types of attacks. Also, different layers of security have to be employed so as to increase the fortification of the network system against possible breach. In a case where a system has been breached, awareness should become the next priority as this can still help prevent the loss of data depending how soon detection can occur. In all security measures, human error has always been identified as a great risk. To minimize this, security training is encouraged not just for security personals but for everyone who uses a

The role that conflict or struggle between different conceptions of justice and/or the law plays in tragedy are very significant to the way that the plot of the tragedy develops. Peter Burian states, “Tragic narrative patterns can usefully be classified by their characteristic conflicts, and something can be said in general about the kinds of conflicts that tragic plots seem to require.” Two plays that convey this conflict between justice systems is Sophocles Antigone, which displays the conflict between the law of the king and the law of the gods and William Shakespeare’s King Lear, which displays the conflict between natural law and human law. This essay will argue that the roles that conflict between justice systems play in tragedy are
Another recommended solution is to set up access controls. Access control is a security precaution that is used to control who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment. Physical access control limits access to campuses, buildings, and physical IT assets. Logical access limits connections to computer networks, system files and data. There are four basic types of access controls: mandatory, discretionary, role-bases and rule-based.
I T controls: - IT can be used to ensure that access to data and systems is restricted to authorized personnel only by using access logs and passwords.
Security policies are a series of rules that define what traffic is permissible and what traffic is to be blocked or denied. These are not universal rules, and there are many different sets of rules for a single company with multiple connections. A web server connected to the Internet may be configured only to allow traffic on port 80 for HTTP, and have all other ports blocked. An e-mail server may have only necessary ports for e-mail open, with others blocked. A key to security policies for firewalls is the same as has been seen for other security policies, the principle of least access. Only allow the necessary access for a function, block or deny all unneeded functionality. How an organization deploys its firewalls determines what is needed for security policies for each firewall.
Antigone is a play written by Sophocles, between approximately 496 – 406 B.C. The play begins after the siege of Thebes by Polynices; Polynices and his brother, Eteocles, are killed by their father, Oedipus. Antigone tells her sister, Ismene, that Creon has ordered for Eteocles to be buried with honors, but Polynices will be left to rot; Antigone and Ismene plan to bury Polynices, but before they are able to do so, Creon hears of their plan and declares that both of the women will be put to death. Creon’s son and Antigone’s lover, Haemon, confronts his father to advise him to reconsider the decision of killing Ismene and Antigone; eventually, Creon replaces his pronouncement and says that Ismene will be freed and Antigone will be sealed in
The grey area of justice is the most significant human made anomaly ever. It is the great vast area between two extremes that the right action lies in. To find the right action and/or consequence in the grey area, a perceptive and open mind is required. Think of it as a needle in a haystack but with the right person looking for it, and given the proper tools, one can find that needle in no time at all. In accordance with Joseph Campbell and the Hero’s Journey, a hero must make an abundant amount of decisions, but how does the hero decide on the correct course of action that will grant them the justice they so rightfully deserve? Being the hero of the story, most of the time the hero will make the right decision, and everything works out in
A critical part of network planning involves setting up of security mechanisms. Deploying the network with security configuration provides superior visibility, continuous control and advanced threat protection across the extended network. Additionally, security procedures define policies to monitor the network for securing critical data, obtain visibility, mitigate threats, identify and correlate discrepancies.
