Network Infrastructure:<br />
The core of the network resides in the technology office located in the high school building. The<br />
network core is made up of Cisco stackable 3750 switches. This core consists of two 48-port<br />
10/100Mb switches and one 24-port gigabit switch interconnected with a high speed 32-Gbps<br />
bus. The High School, Middle School and Central Elementary are connected to the core switch<br />
over gigabit fiber optical cable. The bus garage is connected to the network through the middle<br />
school at 100Mb speed over a single pair of copper phone wire through the use of a media<br />
converter. Every classroom has two network ports that are capable of speeds of up to 100Mb.<br />
Some classrooms contain 5-port Fast Ethernet switches to allow more network-enabled devices<br />
to be used. The network core consists of all Cisco networking equipment that was purchased<br />
during the 2004-05 school year. There is no anticipated need to replace this equipment.<br />
Dependent on funding, there may be a need to increase port densities, eliminating 5-port<br />
switches in classrooms and labs. An increase in ports will also be necessary when wireless<br />
network equipment is purchased.<br />
Network Resources:<br />
Domain Controller: Currently Microsoft Active Directory is running on a Hewlett Packard<br />
ProLiant ML370 G5 Server bought during the 2006-2007 school year. This server is located<br />
in the server room at the High School building. All staff and high school students have an<br />
account on the MASON.local domain which controls the user’s rights and storage on the<br />
network. There are no plans to replace this server during the next three years.<br />
File Storage: User storage is located on a Hewlett Packard DL380 G4 rack mounted server that is<br />
located in the server room. The server was purchased during the 2004-2005 school year.<br />
This server has the capacity of storing approximately 850GB of user data. This data is<br />
protected from disk failure by RAID-5. The capacity of this server was based on 5 years<br />
