Installing And Configuring A Virtual Network

Installing And Configuring A Virtual Network

In this project you will install and configure several different virtual computers into a network that will be used in subsequent assignments for practicing various system administration activities. • In this project you will create two server systems and one client system. The servers will be running Windows Server 2016 and the client will run a Windows 10 Education (or Professional) OS. I’m using Windows 10 Education for my client.

In this project you will build a virtual demonstration network named SAVN.local for a fictitious company, System Administration Virtual Network Company (SAVN). • SAVN is a virtual (fictitious) company headquartered in Orlando. In the past, the company has relied on several independent desktop computers to manage their assets. SAVN has grown, and management has come to realize that the company could benefit by implementing a network. • As the IT manager for SAVN, implementing the network will be your responsibility. • As a user of Microsoft software, SAVN will build its network around Microsoft Windows Server 2016. SAVN utilizes Microsoft Windows 10 as its desktop operating system of choice.

Although there are a number of different ways to implement a virtual network design, we’ll make this project focus on the three roles found in all networks (1) designing the network configuration, (2) verifying IP configurations and (3), implementing centralized, secure management of the network. • In this project, I’ ve designed the network configuration that we ’ll use and you will implement it using virtualization. • The initial network diagram is shown on the next page. • Mark-Server-1 and Mark-Server-2 are virtual machines running Windows Server 2016. Mark-Client-1 is a virtual desktop computer running Microsoft Windows 10. • These machines will communicate with one another over a local virtual network.
