M8Q40: Implementation Considerations Flashcards
You have installed a small on-premise Voice over IP system for a small office (SOHO). The VoIP system currently has 10 phones and users, but the company would like to expand to 15 users. You check the VoIP server and you find the licensing is limited to only 10 users. To fix this the company will need to purchase
more licenses for the VoIP system. This is an example of…

B. Equipment Limitations
Explanation: Equipment always has hardware and software limitations. Sometimes these limitations can be overcome by simply increasing the licensing level. In the case of the small Voice over IP system the equipment limitation was a just a license that could be expanded to allow for more users. This is a common type of equipment limitation. However, other types of equipment limitations are not as easy to overcome. For example, a switch with 24 ports is limited to only 24 connections. In order to expand the network further in that case another switch would need to purchase purchased.
You are working on a SOHO network project and are trying to figure out where to place the equipment. You notice the office space where you are setting up the network doesn’t have a good place to build out a normal equipment rack. In this case you will need to make a suggestion for building out a small room where an equipment rack and HVAC (air conditioning) unit can be installed to keep the equipment operating within the correct temperature ranges. This is an example of….

A. Environment Limitations
Explanation: The environment must always be considered and equipment should never be deployed in locations where it will quickly degrade, malfunction due to heat, or be physically unsecure. Environment limitations are one of the first things that should be considered once a solution has been defined as the environment must be able to support the solution.
You are working on a SOHO network project and the Wide Area Network connection has already been installed. The location only has T-1 connectivity available and to increase the bandwidth the office ordered 3 T-1s all bonded together in a multilink. In order to support this you will need to use a router that has at least 3 T-1 interfaces and has the capability to configure T-1 multilink bonding. This is an example of…

C. Compatibility Requirements
Explanation: Everything in a network must be compatible. From the bandwidth capabilities of the network devices to the types of interfaces and connections everything must be compatible.
You are working on a SOHO network project and are configuring a WAN connection to a Voice over IP service provider. The connection is providing Voice over IP access to the PSTN via a SIP trunk and comes with a public IP address just like a public internet connection would. Since you are an experienced engineer
you know that this is a public connection and it must be protected with an Access Control List. You plan to configure an ACL that only allows the Voice over IP traffic between the company and the provider and nothing else. This is an example of…

D. Security Considerations
Explanation: The security of network devices and WAN connections should never be over looked. Even if a technician from a provider tells you that a connection may be “secure” it is still best practice to use ACLs and is a MUST to use an ACL if the connection is public (uses a public IP address). One should always be considerate of security with the implementation of any technology or solution.
