2.  Networks are the backbone of IT.  The at home network is more popular and important than ever. 2

3.  As a future network technician I needed practice with the basics.  Also wanted to expose myself a little more to virtualization techniques and implementing network security. 3

4.  Networks are everywhere.  More than ever, people are working from home.  To be the best IT professional you can, you have to be able to handle networking on all scales with a variety of setups. 4

5.  Design and set up an at home network.  Configure it to be wireless  Include virtual machines  Harden with basic security measures 5

6.  Small number of users, probably no more than 12.  Low end equipment (College Budget)  Allow for everyday usages by users: downloading, surfing, file exchange, etc. 6

7.  Create an at home network.  Procure equipment.  Set up hardwired connections.  Configure Wi-Fi access  Connect nodes  Harden with security measures  Troubleshoot  Maintain network 7

8.  Successfully created an at home network.  Primarily wireless setup  Includes virtual nodes  Secured with multiple layers of protection 8

11.  With a secure, stable wireless network you can easily perform daily activities at home without worry.  This project has given me experience with setting up small networks and securing them.  Also this has helped me get more familiar with virtualization. 11

12.  This project has helped expand my knowledge of virtualization and has given me experience with securing small networks. As a future network tech, I’ll need to be able to use those skills every day.  Add a VPN so users could work from home?  Suggestions/Thoughts?  Thanks for watching!  justin_addison3@eku.edu 12
