Background: Kamehameha Institute is an organization that provides educational offerings to non-traditional students via the institute’s website in a three-tier web, application, and database configuration. The State of Hawai’i regulates the educational sector, driving the need to ensure Kamehameha follows the State’s strict security and regulatory requirements. Kamehameha’s leadership is also very concerned with the threat posed by the online theft of their unique intellectual property. Additionally, the number of Hawai’ian entities breached by threat actors is on the rise. Thus, security, privacy, and compliance are all important considerations for the Kamehameha network architecture.

Your boss, the Kamehameha Institute’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) has tasked you to design a network infrastructure for three facilities located in the Hawaiian Islands of Honolulu, Hilo, and Lihue. The COO stipulated that you must provide for strengthened defenses to protect Kamehameha’s cultural heritage. After meeting with the COO, the two of you drafted the following set of requirements for your network design:

• Each of the facilities has three floors:
  • The first and second floor of each building requires 150 network connections each for machines connected to the management network used by administrators to manage the network devices
  • The third floor of each building requires 75 network connections for the servers
  • All sites require redundant connectivity to the other sites (e.g., Internet redundancy between the sites can be accomplished through a single Internet connection and a point-to-point link between the sites or two Internet connections provided by separate vendors along with point-to-point VPN connections between the sites)
• Each datacenter is a redundant failover environment to the other datacenters (Hilo, Honolulu, Lihue)
• A constant connection between the three locations, carrying at least 75 Mbps of data
• All servers at all locations must have redundancy
• Protection from intrusions is required and should be documented
• A plan to verify security and failover measures is required

Submission: Using a network diagramming tool such as Microsoft Visio, or free tools such as LibreOffice Draw or Draw.io available at https://draw.io (no sign-in or registration required), create a network diagram (drawing) specific to the organization that encompasses the three facilities and also depicts any necessary interconnections. Figure 1 shows the draw.io ‘new network diagram’ dialog window:

Figure 1. Draw.io New File Dialog Showing the Network Diagramming Templates

Your diagram should include enough detail to show the topology interconnections. The viewer should be able to understand the Kamehameha Institute’s network environment and be able to implement the architecture you develop. Ensure that you properly cite any external sources.

One of the keys to producing a viable network diagram is labeling the objects consistently and descriptively. Think about what you would want to know about a network device if you logged into it with little prior information. Consider location, floor number, or other pertinent information. At a minimum, include the following elements:

• IMPORTANT: Your network diagram must include an identifying label (e.g., callout box) that includes your class and section, assignment title, your name, and the date. Edit the items in italics. Your assignment will not be accepted if this element is missing:

  • CIDR Value
  • Broadcast Address
• All devices require hostnames complying with the following naming conventions:
  • Routing Devices: Rx; where x is the site number incremented by a value of 1 for each routing device
  • Switching Devices: Sx; where x is the site number incremented by a value of 1 for each switching device
  • Servers: SRVx where x is the server number incremented by a value of 1 for each server
• For each site routing device, implement a private ip addressing scheme using a range suitable for corporate infrastructure and include the following:
  • management vlan
  • production vlan
• High availability

When finished, export the diagram as a PDF document (Note: You will need to use this diagram again in Project 3, so ensure you save the xml source file!) and submit it to the Assignment folder. Figure 2 demonstrates how to export your draw.io diagram as a PDF document:

Submit the final draft of Chapter 1 Q&A from Module 1 after incorporating peer review feedback. Remember, serious revision is expected.   

PEER REVIEW:

Sonya,

I really like your definitions and concepts of the assignment. I also think that humanities are always going to be and play a big part in our lives. Social science is the branch of science devoted to the study of human societies and the relationships among individuals within those societies.  I believe that’s why I love psychology so much because it helps me understand a little bit more about other people and the way they think and behave. At first, I kind of struggled in my English classes and quickly found it its more to it is more complex then people think. It requires you to use your imagination and comprehension skills. I pray with every English class I take that I get better and better.

In our analysis of Ch.10, we studied the aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) model in the context of recessions, expansions and supply shocks on economic activity. In addition, in Ch.12, we discussed the role of monetary policy on economic activity. As a result, the different type of ‘shocks’ that affect economic activity bare consequences on the level of inflation and output. Central banks, such as the RBA, can simultaneously pursue “stabilising prices” (i.e., maintaining a targeted level of inflation) and “stabilising economic activity” (i.e., economic activity remaining at its potential level). However, not all shocks to the economy are equal. In response to this, economists/policymakers can either achieve price stability or economic stability, but not both. This trade-off ultimately poses a dilemma for central banks with dual mandates such as price stability and economic activity. On the other hand, New-Keynesian theory suggests that there is no trade-off between price stability and maintaining economic activity – something called the “divine coincidence”. Recall the long-run potential macroeconomic equilibrium condition where the economy is at long-run macroeconomic equilibrium (point 1); output (or real GDP) is at its potential level at ???? ???? ; and inflation (or the price level) is at its target rate (set by the central bank) at ???? � 

Question 1 [3 marks total]. While evidence shows that the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) impacted firms (small to large), it is generally accepted (and shown by empirical studies) that the GFC predominantly impacted on households/consumer spending (i.e., on aggregate demand). Assume this is the case. Also assume that there is no fiscal policy response from the government. 

a. Explain and illustrate the short-run effect of the GFC on macroeconomic equilibrium using the AD-AS model. [0.5 marks] 

b. Explain and illustrate the adjustment process to back to long-run equilibrium based on the following 

i. Self-correcting mechanism (i.e., with no policy response). [1 mark] 

ii. Active stabilisation response (i.e., with policy response). [1.5 marks] 

Question 2 [3 marks total]. The last several decades has seen a significant amount of human capital entering Australia from foreign nations ranging from low-skilled to high skilled labour and seen as an important factor of the rate of invention and innovation within an economy. Imposing restrictions on skilled immigration policy may deteriorate the overall level of human capital given it is an integral part of production, and hence output. COVID19 has also shown the restrictive effects of the movement of human capital across countries. Assume there is no fiscal policy response from the government for the following questions. 

a. Explain and illustrate the short-run effect of the Australian Government imposing a strict ban on human capital entering Australia, by significantly reducing the number of skilled immigrants entering the nation over the next 20 years on macroeconomic equilibrium using the AD-AS model. [0.5 marks] 

b. Explain and illustrate the adjustment process to back to long-run equilibrium based on the following: 

i. Self-correcting mechanism (i.e., with no policy response). [1 mark] 

ii. Active stabilisation response (i.e., with policy response). [1.5 marks] 

Question 3 [3 marks total]. Oil price shocks have been a reoccurring phenomenon over the last fifty years, causing significant fluctuations in the price of oil. Examples of oil price  Page 4 of 4 shocks include the early 1970s caused by the OPEC oil embargo, the early 1990s caused by the Gulf War, and the Arab Spring during the early 2010s. Oil-importing nations like Australia are significantly affected by rising oil prices. Nonetheless, evidence has shown that oil price shocks are a temporary phenomenon and eventually, prices decline. Assume that there is no fiscal policy response from the government in relation to an oil price shock. 

a. Explain and illustrate the short-run effect of a temporary oil price shock on macroeconomic equilibrium using the AD-AS model. [0.5 marks] 

b. Explain and illustrate the adjustment process to back to long-run equilibrium based on the following: 

i. Self-correcting mechanism (i.e., with no policy response). [1 mark] 

ii. Active stabilisation response (i.e., with policy response). [Hint: there could be two active stabilisation polices here]. [1.5 marks] 

Question 4 Based on your answers in part (b) for Q1, Q2, and Q3, does the ‘divine coincidence’ hold? [1 mark]
