An enterprise desires to manage locally a number of services depending on the departments. It establishes a network that will allow it to provide services that:
- Deliver IP addresses to devices that connect to the network.
- Turn domain names into IP addresses (and vise-versa).
- Share files over a TCP/IP network.
- Allow the user to access web pages through a browser.
- Transfer email over the network.
- Manage directory services and authentication.
The task is to build a network divided into two subnets with:
- One DHCP server responsible for delivering addresses to devices connected on both subnets.
- Managing the domain names will be handled by the DNS server.
- The FTP server is used to share files in only one subnet (users on the other subnet are not allowed to access this service).
- An HTTP server managing two web pages. One is accessible to all hosts, and one with restricted access (user-password).
- A server managing the email exchange in the company.
- LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used for directory services and authentication.
