Rough Draft
This paper will focus on the four main theoretical
perspectives within sociology which include conflict,
functionalism, utilitarianism and symbolic interactionism with
the attempt to explain why groups of people choose to perform
certain actions and how societies function or change in a certain
way.
Sociology is the study of society; this involves the study of
society as social science which involves the scrutiny of the
social lives of people, groups, and societies, their behavior as
social beings covering everything from the analysis of normal
contact between people to the study of the global social

5. processes.
The domestic violence on women in sociology can attributed
to family violence since families are the most violent social
grouping in the society (Gelles and Straus, 1979). The culture
of violence lays the groundwork for all the domestic incidents
that involve violence on women, the conflict theory offers the
possibility that the influence of economic and historical
development of the society as the potential result of domestic
violence.
Racism manifests itself in various forms; it can be
representational, ideological, discursive, interactional,
institutional, structural or systemic. The host of practices,
beliefs, social relations and actions that contribute to the
creation of a racial hierarchy and the social structure that yields
superiority and privilege for some, and discrimination and
oppression for others by limiting the access to resources, rights,
and privileges on the basis of race constitutes to racism. The
sociological theory seeks to intervene on the matters of social
inequality in racism.
Social status is aimed at the social integration of
individuals while categorizing them into socioeconomic classes
which are based on their occupation, income, wealth and their
social and political standing in the society. Durkheim believed
that the society had exerted a powerful force on individuals
about their norms, beliefs, and values which make up a

6. collective consciousness, or a shared way of understanding and
behaving in the world.
Sociology theories offer guidelines to the researchers in
their studies about the society behavior; it also offers a clear
direction on how to deal with issues that arise from sociology
and how to implement the interventions on these issues.

thank you for sharing your paper this week. You have done a
nice job of putting yourinformation together and of ensuring
that your paper is sociological innature. At this time, I do have
someconcerns, and it is likely due to confusion about the
assignmentsexpectations. First, the paper is to beabout 5 pages
in length, excluding the cover and reference pages. Next, there
needs to be at least five sourcesand they should be listed in
alphabetical order by the last name of theauthor. The largest

7. issue I see, whichis where I think the confusion comes in is that
you have all four theoriesdiscussed, with four separate
topics. What you need to do is select one topic and write the
entire paper aboutit. Discuss how it impacts society orplays a
role somehow. Then you need toapply one of the four theories
to that topic. For example, how would conflict theorists explain
the events of domesticviolence? I am available to help withthis
if you want. I just think you aremaking the assignment way
harder on yourself than you need to.

Final Deliverable: Cisco Networking—WAN Implementation
with SOHO Configuration
Overview
-
Along with the challenges presented in this document, you will
be provided an overall site topology to work from, as well as
specific device configurations (where applicable) to make your
recommendations.
Suggested solutions should be comprehensive and justified in
approach. Configurations of technologies should be written out
to help guide the systems administrators with implementation.

8. In some cases, you may find it necessary to implement
additional cabling, which can be done by adding to the supplied
topology. Any adjustments to the sites’ topology that you find
necessary should be documented and supplied with your
submission.
Your document will be divided up by site and solutions per site.
Each area is unique in requirements but collectively will
demonstrate your understanding of network routing and
switching technologies. Each scenario will provide you with
suggested sections within TestOut (LabSim) to use as a guide in
your analysis and recommendations.
You can use this template as a guide on how to format your
project. Be sure to cite your external sources using the IEEE
citation style. To learn how you will be assessed on this
assignment, please take a moment to review the rubric.
Existing VLANs
-
Remote locations vary in terms of size and requirements. Some
implementations will require current site router/switch-running
configurations, which will be provided. All sites will use the
following four VLANs, but you will need to configure only
what is asked per site (some assumptions will be made).
· Existing VLANs, per xACME:

9. · Faculty VLAN
· used by faculty on-site for all office locations (non-
instructional communications)
· total devices per site will vary
· Administrative VLAN
· used by staff on-site for business administrative
communications
· total devices per site will vary
· Academic VLAN
· used by faculty and students for classroom labs and
instructional communications
· total devices per site will vary
· Server VLAN
· used by IT staff for all technology/management
communications
· total devices per site will vary
The types of devices per site will be the same; however, the
number of deployed devices may vary (all documented in the
xAcme educational topology).
Routers Per Site:
Cisco 2800 Series Integrated Services
Interfaces Ports Available
4 Fast Ethernet Interfaces
(Per Router)
2 Serial Interfaces

10. (Per Router)
fa0/0
s0/0/0
fa0/1
s0/0/1
fa1/0
fa1/1
Switches Per Site:
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
Ports Available
96 Total Gigabit Ethernet
Ports Per Switch
Module 1 = gi0/1 - gi0/24
Module 2 = gi1/1 - gi1/24
Module 3 = gi2/1 - gi2/24

11. Module 4 = gi3/1 - gi3/24
Note: Device type will not impact your configuration commands
and implementation of ALL required technologies will use
Cisco IOS commands/concepts learned in our TestOut
lecture(s). Standard switchports will be configured and used as
trunk OR access ports and DCE ends should be noted when
configuring serial ports per router.
Springfield Site Device and STP Configurations (Focus on the
Springfield Site Only)
-
Required Implementation: Device hostnames, banners, secured
passwords and spanning tree protocol.
· Device Configurations: Implement device hostnames to match
the xACME educational topology labels. Provide a template and
sample configuration for the MOTD banner and login banner
(wording and implementation) for one of the switches. Keep this
generic, as it will be implemented on all switches in the xACME
educational topology. Lastly, include the configuration steps for
implementing device passwords on both console port (out-of-
band communications) and VTY (Telnet/in-band
communications). All passwords should be encrypted.
· Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Briefly explain the advantages
and purpose of the STP. Administrators are having a difficult

12. time placing switch 1 as the root. Provide a sample
configuration for implementing SPT on the switches. Choose
the mode you feel would be best suited for the environment and
justify why. Switch 1 will need to be the root switch in the
Springfield topology. Consider any security measures that can
be implemented to protect the devices from bogus BPDUs.
Note: When approaching the spanning tree challenge, do
not concern yourself with the multiple VLANs at this time.
Focus simply on the default VLAN1, which is the active VLAN
that all ports belong to in this topology at this time.
· Please refer to the following configurations:
· SpringfieldSw1
· SpringfieldSw2
· SpringfieldSw3
· SpringfieldSw4
Worchester Site Subnetting Configurations (Focus on the
Worchester Site Only)
-
Required Implementation:Subnet addressing to accommodate
Worchester site
· Subnetting: Properly subnet addressing blocks to
accommodate the sites VLAN sizes. You will not need to
implement VLANs here; rather, you will create the correct

13. sizing to properly accommodate the devices stated per the
xACME educational topology. Carefully consider the challenges
faced when structuring subnets too large and/or too small during
your design. The starting Worchester site addressing range is
10.20.0.0 /16 (per the xACME educational topology diagram).
Formatting per subnet should follow format below and should
be clearly stated and placed within a table.
· NetID
· mask/CIDR values
· broadcast
· usable range
· No additional device configurations required to complete
Boston Site Routing Protocol, Route Summarization and
Topology Improvements (Focus on the Boston Site Only)
-
Required Implementation:Implement a routing protocol to
manage networks within the Boston site topology as well as
default routes to exit non-Boston traffic. Summarization
addresses should be stated per router in Boston’s topology.
Consider redundancy upgrades as well and document per
topology.
· Routing Protocol: Research the different routing protocol
types (distance vector/link state/hybrid) and choose a routing

14. protocol implement (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP). Justify your selection
by defining its strengths and weaknesses. Define the proper
addressing block to assign per point-to-point links and
implement your solution per all three routers. Routing protocol
should be set up in a way to advertise all IP subnets, WAN and
LAN interfaces on a router. Be sure to protect the
advertisements of our routing tables as well.
· Summarization: Define the route summarization addresses for
each Boston site router. These addresses will not be
implemented on the routers, but they will be documented in
your response. Each summarization address must be large
enough to include all required subnets contained within the
underlying site subnets.
· Default Route: Any traffic not matching internal networks will
need to be routed outward. Implement default routes on the site
routers to exit this traffic.
· Topology: Consider the potential challenges with the current
Boston site topology (cabling and redundancy approach). If
improvements are needed, update the topology and discuss and
routing redundancy approaches you see fit.
· Please refer to the following configurations:
· BostonSiteRouter1
· BostonSiteRouter2
· BostonSiteRouter3

15. Sacramento Site VLAN, Routing on a Stick (ROS) and DHCP
Implementation (Focus on the Sacramento Site Only)
-
Required Implementation: VLANs, ROS, and DHCP
implementation
· VLANs: Implement the VLAN database on the Sacramento site
switches. Explain the assignment of switchport modes and how
to implement each. Demonstrate how to implement port security
on the switchports to allow only two MAC addresses per port
and shutdowns for violations. Additionally, consider proper
security management of any unused ports.
· Provide the VLAN IDs, ports with matching switchport modes,
and sample configuration of port security and port management
steps.
· ROS: The site will be treated as a routing on a stick (ROS)
topology. Provide a sample configuration for Sacramento fa0/0
interface to support the multiple VLAN’s and inter-vlan routing.
· To simplify configuration, please use the following
addressing:
· faculty VLAN: 10.50.0.0 /26
· administrative VLAN: 10.50.0.64 /26
· instructional VLAN: 10.50.0.128 /26
· server VLAN: 10.50.0.192 /26
· DHCP: The site will need a solution to manage the deployment

16. of IP addresses. Briefly explain the purpose of DHCP and
provide implementation of the DHCP configuration for the
VLANs. Be sure to include the pool name, exclude the last 10
addresses of each subnet range and configure the gateway,
subnet mask and DNS Address (Sacramento fa0/0 address).
· Please refer to the following configurations:
· SacramentoSw1
· SacramentoSw2
· SacramentoSw3
· SacramentoRouter
Los Angeles Site Management Technologies (Focus on the Los
Angeles Site Only)
-
Required Implementation: Device configuration remote storage,
remote management of switches, ACL implementation, and an
NTP solution.
· Remote IOS Storage: The site will require remote storage of
the devices configurations. Server details are provided per your
topology. You will determine the protocol to use and
demonstrate how to implement the solution.
· Remote Management of Switches: All devices will be
configured to allow for remote management. You will be
required to implement this solution on the switches found on the

17. site.
· ACL Implementation: In order to restrict and protect access to
the devices, the only VLAN allowed to communicate remotely
with the devices should belong to the server VLAN. Determine
the type of ACL to implement and the placement of the list, and
implement the solution on the site router.
· Network Time Protocol: Implement an NTP solution on the
devices found within this topology to ensure clock
synchronization is accomplished. The purpose would be for
accurate logging records and authentication protocols. Server
details are provided per your topology.
· Please refer to the following configurations:
· LosAngelesSw1
· LosAngelesSw2
· LosAngelesSw3
· LosAngelesRouter
xACME WAN - WAN Implementation and Secure
Communications (Focus on All Site Entry Point Routers)
-
Required Implementation: WAN Implementation, device
authentication, and topology suggestions.
· WAN Implementation: Current WAN links are serial based and
connected over leased lines that are using the Cisco default

18. protocol for layer 2 connectivity. Authentication is not present
at this time, but the added security would be preferred.
Research the available WAN protocols and suggest a solution to
provide authentication between devices. Implement basic
routing protocol authentication. Provide a sample
implementation over serial links for your systems administrator
to follow. Included in this task are device configurations for the
current implementation.
· Topology: Currently, the Los Angeles and Boston sites are
connected across leased lines and each remains as the entry
point to its respective regional locations. There is growing
concern over the amount of traffic both devices are handling.
Please review the xAMCE educational topology and make
recommendations to provide some redundancy among sites, as
well as to alleviate some of the bandwidth requirements placed
on both devices. This may require additional lines to be leased.
With your suggested improvements, please update the topology
as you see fit.
Note: Additional addressing is available if needed. Simply
create the additional ranges from the provided available xACME
public address range, 165.128.63.0 /26.
· Please refer to the following configurations:
· BostonSiteRouter1
· WorchesterRouter
· SpringfieldRouter

19. · SacramentoRouter
· LosAngelesRouter
