Interim Report

Tuesday, June 24, 2014

Began to write my interim report today. It is the first report of two that I am required to write on this project. It is to cover Etherchannel and our use of the Hierarchical Internetworking Model as well as my current research into the use of the Raspberry Pi as a networking monitor. I have to look into any documentation to reference what I have added in my report.

My body headings cover "Configuring the New Network", "Monitoring the Network" and "Securing the Network". Configuring the New Network is planned to cover my work with Tavita Stewart with the base network to be used as well as any documentation that I am going to prepare to cover it such as a Network Baseline and base configuration documentation. Monitoring the network will cover my work with the Raspberry Pi device, mainly the research I have done so far with the reasons behind my choice of operating system. Securing the network will mainly cover what I plan to do towards solving the security issues the network may have as I have not yet started to look into security solutions at this stage.
