As a senior network administrator, you are tasked with training junior network admins on VLANs. Write a minimum 2-page APA formatted essay on how to configure VLAN including trunking. Your essay should be written like a training guide where you are training junior network administrators on how to properly configure VLAN including trunking. Make sure you include commands needed and descriptions on how the commands help make the VLAN functional on an enterprise network. The format should include steps and screenshots so it is easy for someone else to follow.

What is the history of the network models?
What are the four layers of the TCP/IP Model and how are they used?
How does the networking protocol work? Give at least one example based on the literature

This assignment is based around Chapter 7 Wireless and Mobile Networks. All answers require a technical perspective and relate to the lecture slide and book for that particular chapter. Thus, use the course textbook as your primary source of information referencing relevant page numbers where applciable.
The assignment brief provides a scenario followed by two questions:
Suppose there are two ISPs providing Wi-Fi access in a particular café, with each ISP operating its own AP and having its own IP address block.
a) Further suppose that by accident, each ISP has configured its AP to operate over channel 11. Will the 802.11 protocol completely break down in this situation? Discuss what happens when two stations, each associated with a different ISP, attempt to transmit at the same time.
b) Now suppose that one AP operates over channel 1 and the other over channel 11. How do your answers change?
The scenario states that there are two ISP’s, each one using their own AP and IP address block. However, the similarities are that they both provide access in the same cafe, and they both use the same Channel 11.
In the first part of the question you will discuss what happens when two stations use the same channel, both in terms of IP management, protocol, and transmission.
In part b) if one ISP uses Channel 1 and the other ISP uses Channel 11, what difference will that make, if any? What are the changes, to what, and how?
In both questions you will ensure that you specify the challenges, changes, and limitations.
You should use either a figure, graph, table, or any other form of diagram to support your answer (examples are provided in the lecture slides). If external source has been used then reference appropriately.
in such case treat these questions with answers that are short and precise. Ideally, your Assignment Report should not exceed 1 page including graphic.
Attachments include the assignment and chapter 7

no copy and paste from online and no ai and any ai context allowed, it wiil check by turnitin so make sure do it your own explanation and showing the any necessary work you have done based on the instruction, after you done pls give me the report of the turnitin and also ai turnitin checker for both. thank you

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) serves as a network management tool to manage and control various network components such as switches, routers, and firewalls. SNMP implementers often encounter issues and difficulties when solving problems related to SNMP network monitoring. Below are some issues SNMP implementers might face; therefore, you are asked to discus in detail how you will troubleshoot them:
I. Error message: “SNMP Is Not Enabled”. [0.5 marks]
II. A delay in responses to SNMP queries. Such that, a switch in the NMS does not respond to GetNext requests and generates a RESPONSE_DELAYED error message. [0.75 marks]
III. If the response for an SNMP has a noSuchName or noSuchObject error. [0.75 marks]
Question Two
Build a network topology as given below using the Packet Tracer. Use the information given in the table below to configure the router and PCs. You must also do the following:
I. Write the commands used to configure the router. [1.5 marks]
II. Support your results with screenshots which show the connectivity between hosts from different networks. [1.5 marks]

WiresharkSummary It’s time for you to learn how to “sniff” potentially malicious network traffic using the popular Wireshark tool. Wireshark is yet another is an open‐source tool that you can use to capture network traffic and analyze packets at a very granular level. Context Your boss comes to you and is concerned that your network may be under attack by a malicious hacker. Your boss requests that you start to investigate and wants you to determine if the network traffic is malicious, the type of attack, the specific IP addresses that are being targeted, and where the attack originated from. You immediately identify that the right tool for this job is Wireshark.
Steps 1: Download and install Wireshark
Open your web browser and go HERE to download and install Wireshark on your system.
2: Determine your IP address
Open a command prompt or a terminal window. Type ipconfig and press Enter if you are on a Windows system. If you are on Mac, try ifconfig. Make sure to take note of your system’s IP address.
3: Capture network traffic Open Wireshark. Identify the Wi‐Fi interface that corresponds with step 2. Double‐click the Wi‐Fi connection. It will start capturing network traffic.
4. Run an “intense” scan
Open a command prompt or a terminal window and type the below command.
nmap -T4 -A –v
5: Stop the network traffic capture
When the Nmap scan is done, return to Wireshark and click the red box under the word Edit. This will stop the capture, and you now have data to save and analyze.
6: Analyze the network traffic
In Wireshark, take some time to analyze the captured network traffic. In particular, look at the Protocol column for any DNS traffic. If you cannot find it by scrolling, try clicking the word protocol in the top pane. Each column can be sorted in ascending and then descending order just by clicking the column headings
7: Save the captured network traffic
To save the network traffic you just sniffed in Wireshark, go to File > Save, name the file -Wireshark in order to earn the most points possible.
