ScenarioThe Corporation Techs’ current network consists of 1 web server (accessible by the public), 2 application servers, 2 database servers, 2 file and print servers, and 50 workstations. The web server runs Linux/Apache, the other servers run Microsoft Windows Server, and the workstations run Microsoft Windows. The network is connected through a series of switches, is not physically connected to other networks, and runs Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The network is protected by a single border firewall. The senior network architect, whom you work for directly, has verified the company’s business goals and has determined the features and functions required to meet those goals.
The senior network architect has asked you to create a network design that includes the following components:
-Current infrastructure elements
-A logical topology that separates the Accounting and Sales departments
-Redundant communications
-Justification for continuing with IPv4 or upgrading to IPv6
TasksFor this part of the project, perform the following tasks:
1.Conduct research to determine the best network design to ensure security of internal access while retaining public website availability.
2.Design a network configuration with physical and logical topologies. Identify major network elements (e.g., servers, switches, gateways) and their locations within the private and protected network segments.
3.Include a high-level plan that ensures communications are available 24/7.
4.Recommend whether to continue using IPv4 or upgrade to IPv6, and explain why.
5.Create a basic network diagram that illustrates the current network and enhancements. Include a few workstations to represent all workstations on the internal network. The diagram will be very high level at this stage and include only necessary details. You may use a software tool or simply pencil and paper. You will update this design later in the project.
6.Create a draft report detailing all information as supportive documentation.
7.Cite sources, where appropriate.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIES
The research process is iterative, focused on finding substantiating published research for your selected topic. As research is conducted, it can be very difficult to organize and maintain large collections of relevant research materials. Thus, researchers use different tools and techniques to ensure they have their sources organized, categorized, and in a format that enables them to quickly recall each article’s topic and primary points of relevance, thus making it easier to locate and include in various formal research documentation.
One such tool is an annotated bibliography, which is a listing of references with a short annotation describing the content, the purpose, the quality, and the relevance of the resource to a research topic.
Annotation for a single resource provides you with a summary and an evaluation of a specific resource.
An annotated bibliography contains multiple annotations and provides you with a good perspective on what’s currently being published about a topic.
An annotated bibliography is not a formal component of formal research documentation; however, it is a useful tool that contributes significantly to the development of formal research documents. Reviewing an annotation in an annotated bibliography is much easier than returning to and reviewing the original resource materials you collected during the research process. Think of the annotation as a detailed note to yourself about the content in the resource, the quality of the resource, and the applicability of the resource to your research topic.
Additionally, a well-constructed annotated bibliography can make it easy to copy and paste the content into a literature review, including citations and formatted references. However, modern researchers may use other tools to add reference content in their literature reviews, instead of an annotated bibliography. Examples of such tools include RefWorks and EndNote. You can learn more about these options in the library. For this course, the traditional annotated bibliography is required.
RESOURCE ANNOTATIONSIt’s generally a good idea to create an annotation for every collected resource to help you analyze and organize your research materials. When you create a resource annotation, you’re forced to read the resource more carefully and critically instead of just documenting information.
Annotations should be written concisely and should include only significant and relevant details about the resource, such as a summary of the main points in the article, the purpose of the article, an evaluation of the resource quality, and the value of the resource in relation to your topic.

(5) Reflection
The image above provides a visual example of an annotation identifying the five sections of an annotation.
Reference: Provides a properly formatted resource reference.
Summary: Summarizes the key points of the article. Ask yourself, “What is this article about?”
Purpose: Indicates the purpose of the article. Ask yourself, “Why was this article written?”
Quality Evaluation: Evaluates the quality of the article. Ask yourself, “Is the author, publisher, and content in this article credible, accurate, and relevant?” You may need to do a little extra research to answer this question.
Relevance Reflection: Reflects on the relevance of the article to your research topic. Indicate why the resource should be included in an annotated bibliography with other similar resources. Ask yourself, “How does this resource support or relate to my research topic?”
It’s important to note that you are not required to limit the different components of the annotation to a single sentence. You may use several sentences to summarize, evaluate, and reflect on the resource. However, you should try to omit background materials, references to previous work by the same author, and any information that is apparent from the title.
Annotation Formatting Tips:
Do not use in-text citations in an annotation.
Start the annotation on the next line after the reference.
Do not add an extra line or additional spacing between the reference and the annotation.
Use double spacing throughout.
Use formal academic writing. Never use first or second person references in research papers.
