Fundamentals of networking ( Discussion 3)

Discussion 3
Discuss the reasons you have chosen your particular configuration. Why did you choose DHCP addressing versus static IP addressing? In places where you lacked network connectivity, how did you extend coverage? What would you choose to do differently had you known what you know now?

What vulnerabilities do you think this network configuration will have? How could you improve the security with added resources? What problems will this network layout encounter over time? How could this network layout be optimized?

How would you increase security for this network? How would you prevent MAC spoofing, or man-in-the-middle attacks? Can a wireless network ever really be secure?

Network Configuration
Static IP address is assigned to a user and remains the same all through each time it accesses the internet. DHCP on the other hand is a dynamic IP provided from available IP addresses on the network. DHCP changes each time a system accesses the network. The advantage of using dynamic host configuration protocol server is that all the nodes that access
