Different access rights needs to be given to students and staff members. Students should only have access to student software and should not be allowed to install software in computers. However, the staff members need to be given all the access rights of a student as well as access to software licenses specific to staff only, such as a PDF editing software. The student e-mail server should also be different from the staff e-mail server. 2. Review the learning resources provided in Modules 1 & 2. 3. Write a 1200 word essay and develop a network topology diagram to; (1) describe and analyse the data distribution and architecture based on the case scenario and (2) review the existing network topology and provide recommendations based on your knowledge of the communication protocol stacks such as the appropriate network devices. 4. Please ensure that your written essay answers the following guide questions:  Describe and analyse the data distribution and architecture of the university network based on the case scenario. o Comment on the basic flow of data and the network architecture requested by the university. You need to be able to use the terms mentioned in Module 1 and Module 2 essential resources proficiently. o Are there any missing features in the network topology diagram that you think could be added or modified in order to create a better Xerlasian university network for the new campus?  Review the existing network topology and provide recommendations based on your knowledge of the communication protocol stacks. o Relate the flow of data to the communication protocol stacks. Make sure that all the relevant communication protocol stacks and how they operate are mentioned in your essay. o Are you able to specify the layer where the hubs and routers mainly function? For the log-in application, can you identify what communication protocol stack the log- in application operates and why? o Is there anything else that you wish to improve in any of the communication protocol stacks? Please provide recommendations for at least two communication protocol stacks. Recommendations needs be well supported and clearly justified. Word count and layout  The total word count for the written assay should be no more than 1200 words.  Please follow the following structure when writing the essay: o Introduction or background information: Start with the background information on your role as a data and networking specialist for this case scenario and a summary of what you intend to do.
