One of the topics covered in this week's discussion.

Where is the best location to place a Network Wiring Closet.

It is very important to make sure it is in a place where the signal is not being blocked.

Depending on how many floors or levels the building is.

If the building is multiple floors we would want to make the location
in the center or middle floor of the building.  Placing a  Network Wiring closet in
a basement would not be an ideal place for a Network Wiring Room or closet.
As it would be a less than ideal because it would block signals and it often may be a damp area.
For some reason all of the buildings that were not newer builds.
Always have their Wiring Rooms in the basement. 
Recently I was visiting my parent's home  and  I noticed that they
were not getting a very good Network connection and they had just recently got an upgrade on their Internet Speed.  After using Speed Test from their ISP. it showed they were not getting half of the internet speed that they upgraded to.  After asking them where their  router was located they said it was in the basement ..
Upon further inspection they had not replaced their Router in 4-6 yrs.  
I  told them to get in contact with their ISP as soon as possible.
To have them come out and  first move their router to the first floor or second floor of their home.
Also to have the ISP replace the router.
Having too many basements that sometimes doubled as Tornado or Bomb Shelters
I am definitely certain that a basement is the worst location for any Networking Equipment.

I tend to see a lot of issues with both the DNS being not available or not correct when I am assisting my clients that are unable to get to a certain website that they usually will have no problems pulling on their store's Back Of The House PC/ However over time,the url's and information becomes outdated or corrupted. Causing the user to pull up the website and get a DNS Server error or even sometimes getting the wrong site altogether due to be a letter or number off in the https:. This can cause the user to goto a web site that is both harmful and dangerous and was set up to steal user's personal info or in this case to gain access to a a corporate network. Often times this issue of the DNS error can be resolved by flushing the DNS. The other issue, I will often walk the user through making sure that the web sites they are trying to access  are both...

BSIT 220 Week 10 Final Blog Post

 In this last week of our class. We have focused on the Monitoring and Troubleshooting of a Network. These would be entrusted and only performed by a company's Network Admin.

Looking Glass Sites are used to show network routing information and are usually managed by an ISP. These are both tools use that a Network Admin can use to troubleshoot  and monitor their Networks.
