 For More Information Visit Our Website (   https://homeworklance.com/ )
 NR 505 Full Course
 NR505 week 1 discussion
 Write a quantitative research question using the PICO(T) model about a health or safety issue observed in the Ironridge or Summerville community or your practice setting.Conducta search of the literature for the quantitative research question. (Remember you can use this topic and quantitative research article as part of your Research Summary Table assignment).Provide a brief summary of your quantitative research article.
You will not be able to see other’s posts for this forum until you have posted your response to the threaded discussion thread.
 NR505 week 2 discussion
 Review the differences in predictive and prescriptive studies and select a predictive or prescriptive article that you found in your literature search. What are the independent variables (IV), dependent variables (DV), and mediating variables (MVs) that you find in the article? How do determining IVs, DVs, and MVs help you discern the theory tested in the research? In your particular article, what risk factors are identified, or what recommendations are provided?
  NR505 week 3 discussion
 Plan a Qualitative Study (graded)
 Write a qualitative research question using the PICO(T) model using the P (population), I (abstract concept), O (outcome), and T (time) from the PICO(T) model about an issue from your practice setting. Conduct a search of the literature for a qualitative research article that would answer your qualitative research question. What qualitative research design (Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Ethnography) did you select and why? Provide a summary of the study. How will you make sure that the information you obtain is trustworthy? How is trustworthiness in qualitative research similar and different from reliability and validity?
 NR505 week 4 discussion
  What are the various types of sampling, along with their advantages and disadvantages? As we think about sampling and ethical practices, review these two documents on ethical issues in research:
·         Tuskegee syphilis study at.cdc.gov/tuskegee/”>http://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/
·         An overview of questionable studies: Resnik, D. (2012). Research ethics timeline (1932-present). Retrieved from.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm”>http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm
What are the implications of this information with respect to the recruitment of human subjects in a study related to your chosen issue?
 NR505 week 5 discussion
 Inferential Statistics (graded)
 Complete a PICO(T) search on a topic that pertains to your practice setting. Select one of the articles from your search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Then describe the inferential tests that were used in the article (in other words, t-tests and chi-squares). Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are they statistically significant, also clinically significant? What are the recommendations based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations (mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study. If your chosen study does not contain inferential tests, then choose a different article that does contain inferential tests so you can participate in the discussion.
 NR505 week 6 discussion
 Evidence-Based Models (graded)Read the box above about Mr. Lowell and his facility. As an advanced practice nurse, you will looking at various evidence based practice models and choosing two of them to compare and contrast here. After you compare and contrast them, discuss which one you would recommend to this facility and why? Remember to support your posts with scholarly research in APA 6th ed format.
 NR505 week 7 discussion
 Quality, Safety, and Costs (graded)
 Class, this week I would like for you to think about a patient scenario related to our Summerville scenario. Mr. Lowell is especially concerned about a costly high infection rate in surgical patients at St. Louis Medical Center, along with a lack of concern about patient’s psychological needs. He has read about the efforts of the QSEN Institute (.org/”>http://qsen.org) to promote quality and safety. He was surprised to see that patient concerns are inherent in the quality improvement conversation. Place yourself in the role of nurse educator to help the new staff education director and the clinical practice council study both problems. How would you explain the relationships among quality, safety, and costs to the director and staff? How would you demonstrate the importance of nursing care in addressing this issue? What outcome variables would you recommend?
 NR505 week 8 discussion
 What specific skills and knowledge that you gained through this course will be most important as you plan and implement your practicum project? Describe a concrete way in which you anticipate using these skills and knowledge.

 NR505 Advanced Research Methods: Evidence-Based Practice
 NR 505 Full Course
 NR505 week 1 discussion
 Write a quantitative research question using the PICO(T) model about a health or safety issue observed in the Ironridge or Summerville community or your practice setting.Conducta search of the literature for the quantitative research question. (Remember you can use this topic and quantitative research article as part of your Research Summary Table assignment).Provide a brief summary of your quantitative research article.
You will not be able to see other’s posts for this forum until you have posted your response to the threaded discussion thread.
 NR505 week 2 discussion
 Review the differences in predictive and prescriptive studies and select a predictive or prescriptive article that you found in your literature search. What are the independent variables (IV), dependent variables (DV), and mediating variables (MVs) that you find in the article? How do determining IVs, DVs, and MVs help you discern the theory tested in the research? In your particular article, what risk factors are identified, or what recommendations are provided?
  NR505 week 3 discussion
 Plan a Qualitative Study (graded)
 Write a qualitative research question using the PICO(T) model using the P (population), I (abstract concept), O (outcome), and T (time) from the PICO(T) model about an issue from your practice setting.Conduct a search of the literature for a qualitative research article that would answer your qualitative research question. What qualitative research design (Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Ethnography) did you select and why? Provide a summary of the study. How will you make sure that the information you obtain is trustworthy? How is trustworthiness in qualitative research similar and different from reliability and validity?
 NR505 week 4 discussion
  What are the various types of sampling, along with their advantages and disadvantages? As we think about sampling and ethical practices, review these two documents on ethical issues in research:
·         Tuskegee syphilis study at.cdc.gov/tuskegee/”>http://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/
·         An overview of questionable studies: Resnik, D. (2012). Research ethics timeline (1932-present). Retrieved from.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm”>http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm
What are the implications of this information with respect to the recruitment of human subjects in a study related to your chosen issue?
 NR505 week 5 discussion
 Inferential Statistics (graded)
 Complete a PICO(T) search on a topic that pertains to your practice setting. Select one of the articles from your search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Then describe the inferential tests that were used in the article (in other words, t-tests and chi-squares). Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are they statistically significant, also clinically significant? What are the recommendations based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations (mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study. If your chosen study does not contain inferential tests, then choose a different article that does contain inferential tests so you can participate in the discussion.
 NR505 week 6 discussion
 Evidence-Based Models (graded)Read the box above about Mr. Lowell and his facility. As an advanced practice nurse, you will looking at various evidence based practice models and choosing two of them to compare and contrast here. After you compare and contrast them, discuss which one you would recommend to this facility and why? Remember to support your posts with scholarly research in APA 6th ed format.
 NR505 week 7 discussion
 Quality, Safety, and Costs (graded)
 Class, this week I would like for you to think about a patient scenario related to our Summerville scenario. Mr. Lowell is especially concerned about a costly high infection rate in surgical patients at St. Louis Medical Center, along with a lack of concern about patient’s psychological needs. He has read about the efforts of the QSEN Institute (.org/”>http://qsen.org) to promote quality and safety. He was surprised to see that patient concerns are inherent in the quality improvement conversation. Place yourself in the role of nurse educator to help the new staff education director and the clinical practice council study both problems. How would you explain the relationships among quality, safety, and costs to the director and staff? How would you demonstrate the importance of nursing care in addressing this issue? What outcome variables would you recommend?
 NR505 week 8 discussion
 What specific skills and knowledge that you gained through this course will be most important as you plan and implement your practicum project? Describe a concrete way in which you anticipate using these skills and knowledge.

NR505 Advanced Research Methods: Evidence-Based Practice
Follow Below Link to Download Tutorial
http://projbid.com/downloads/nr505-advanced-research-methods-evidence-based-practice/
 For More Information Visit Our Website (   https://homeworklance.com/ )
NR505 week 1 discussion
 Write a quantitative research question using the PICO(T) model about a health or safety issue observed in the Ironridge or Summerville community or your practice setting.Conducta search of the literature for the quantitative research question. (Remember you can use this topic and quantitative research article as part of your Research Summary Table assignment).Provide a brief summary of your quantitative research article.
You will not be able to see other’s posts for this forum until you have posted your response to the threaded discussion thread.
 NR505 week 2 discussion
 Review the differences in predictive and prescriptive studies and select a predictive or prescriptive article that you found in your literature search. What are the independent variables (IV), dependent variables (DV), and mediating variables (MVs) that you find in the article? How do determining IVs, DVs, and MVs help you discern the theory tested in the research? In your particular article, what risk factors are identified, or what recommendations are provided?
  NR505 week 3 discussion
 Plan a Qualitative Study (graded)
 Write a qualitative research question using the PICO(T) model using the P (population), I (abstract concept), O (outcome), and T (time) from the PICO(T) model about an issue from your practice setting. Conduct a search of the literature for a qualitative research article that would answer your qualitative research question. What qualitative research design (Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Ethnography) did you select and why? Provide a summary of the study. How will you make sure that the information you obtain is trustworthy? How is trustworthiness in qualitative research similar and different from reliability and validity?
 NR505 week 4 discussion
  What are the various types of sampling, along with their advantages and disadvantages? As we think about sampling and ethical practices, review these two documents on ethical issues in research:
·         Tuskegee syphilis study at.cdc.gov/tuskegee/”>http://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/
·         An overview of questionable studies: Resnik, D. (2012). Research ethics timeline (1932-present). Retrieved from.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm”>http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/timeline/index.cfm
What are the implications of this information with respect to the recruitment of human subjects in a study related to your chosen issue?
 NR505 week 5 discussion
 Inferential Statistics (graded)
 Complete a PICO(T) search on a topic that pertains to your practice setting. Select one of the articles from your search. Identify the descriptive statistics. Then describe the inferential tests that were used in the article (in other words, t-tests and chi-squares). Given the p-values related to the tests, how do you interpret the results? Are they statistically significant, also clinically significant? What are the recommendations based on this paper? Share some alternate explanations (mediating or intervening variables) for the results of the study. If your chosen study does not contain inferential tests, then choose a different article that does contain inferential tests so you can participate in the discussion.
 NR505 week 6 discussion
 Evidence-Based Models (graded)Read the box above about Mr. Lowell and his facility. As an advanced practice nurse, you will looking at various evidence based practice models and choosing two of them to compare and contrast here. After you compare and contrast them, discuss which one you would recommend to this facility and why? Remember to support your posts with scholarly research in APA 6th ed format.
 NR505 week 7 discussion
 Quality, Safety, and Costs (graded)
 Class, this week I would like for you to think about a patient scenario related to our Summerville scenario. Mr. Lowell is especially concerned about a costly high infection rate in surgical patients at St. Louis Medical Center, along with a lack of concern about patient’s psychological needs. He has read about the efforts of the QSEN Institute (.org/”>http://qsen.org) to promote quality and safety. He was surprised to see that patient concerns are inherent in the quality improvement conversation. Place yourself in the role of nurse educator to help the new staff education director and the clinical practice council study both problems. How would you explain the relationships among quality, safety, and costs to the director and staff? How would you demonstrate the importance of nursing care in addressing this issue? What outcome variables would you recommend?
 NR505 week 8 discussion
 What specific skills and knowledge that you gained through this course will be most important as you plan and implement your practicum project? Describe a concrete way in which you anticipate using these skills and knowledge.

Nurses face many ethical issues on a daily basis. Consider the following scenario:
Your unit has team nursing. As luck would have it, you and your best friend, Jill, are paired as a team this shift. Jill is a new nurse so you feel this is a great opportunity to take her under your wing a bit and show her the ropes. It is a busy shift and you administered Mr. Smith his insulin dose based on the sliding scale before lunch. You chart your medication administration and continuing caring for your patients. An hour later, Jill comes to you terrified because she forgot to chart the insulin she gave Mr. Smith and realized that you also gave the medication. She rushed to take his blood sugar and it was 115. Mr. Smith felt fine and was eating a candy bar his family had snuck in for him. No harm done, in fact he probably needed the extra insulin to compensate for the candy bar he wasn’t supposed to have, Jill explained. Jill begs you not to report this since she is still on probation. She says that she has learned her lesson and since nothing bad happened, why does anyone need to know?
What would you do in this situation? Apply ethical principles to explain the rationale for your decision making process.

 Preparing the paper
The following are best practices for preparing this paper:
Review Chapter 29- Role Transition: Strategies for     Success in the Marketplace in
DeNisco and Barker (2013).
Nurse practitioners need to take into account the state     rules and regulations that guide advanced practice. Research and review     the Nurse Practice Act and APN scope of practice guidelines in your     particular state. Identify information regarding educational requirements,     licensure and regulatory requirements, as well as practice environment     details. Review information regarding full, limited, or restricted     practice limitations as well as prescriptive authority.
Review Guidelines for APN Role Transition Using     Benner’s Self-Assessment Tool in Prior to engaging in pursuit for     employment, APNs should complete a comprehensive, honest, affirmative     personal assessment to identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as     their goals and objectives. Research assessment tools, conduct a personal     assessment, and reflect upon your strengths, weaknesses, goals, and     objectives.
To complete the transition from students to expert     nurse practitioners working in the healthcare field, graduating APN     students will need to secure their first position. Research local and     national professional organizations that advertise employment     opportunities for APNs. Identify networking and marketing strategies and     provide a rationale for your selections.
Write your Curriculum Vitae (CV). Refer to the template     on pages 618-619 in DeNisco and Barker (2013). Your CV should not exceed 2     pages in length.
When concluding the paper, summarize important aspects     of the APN professional development plan.

NR 305 Week 3 Family Genetic History
 Follow Below Link to Download Tutorial
http://projbid.com/downloads/nr-305-week-3-family-genetic-history/
 For More Information Visit Our Website (   https://homeworklance.com/ )
 Family Genetic History
Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Purpose
This assignment is to help you gain insight regarding the influence of genetics on an individual’s health and risk for disease. You are to obtain a family genetic history on a willing, nonrelated, adult participant.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO #3: Utilize effective communication when performing a health assessment. (PO #3)
CO #5: Explore the professional responsibilities involved in conducting a comprehensive health assessment and providing appropriate documentation. (PO #6)
Points
This assignment is worth a total of 100 points.
Due Date
The Family Genetic History Assignment is to be submitted at the end of Week 3. There is a MS Word document form in Doc Sharing that you need to download, fill in, and submit to the Family Genetic History Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 3. Post questions to the weekly Q & A Forum. Contact your instructor if you need additional assistance. See the Course Policies regarding late assignments. Failure to submit your paper to the Dropbox on time may result in a deduction of points.
Disclaimer
When taking a family genetic history on an actual client, it is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the person you are interviewing that they do NOT need to disclose information that they wish to keep confidential. If the adult participant decides not to share information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.”
Directions
Refer to the examples in Chapter 4 of your textbook     that discuss development of a genogram.
Download the NR305_Family_Genetic_History_Form from Doc     Sharing. You will document the adult participant’s family genetic history     using this MS Word document.
Complete the family genetic history using the     information that the adult participant is willing to share with you. The     focus of this course is on the normal “healthy” individual so your paper     does not need to contain much medical/nursing detail. Refer to your     textbook or the Internet to learn what impact the family’s health history     may have on the adult participant’s personal state of wellness both now     and in the future.
This paper does not require APA formatting, but you are expected to write clearly and use proper grammar and spelling.
Developing a pictorial genogram using symbols to identify certain relationships (e.g., divorced, sibling, deceased, etc.), may provide more insight, however, drawing may be difficult to accomplish with MS Word, therefore you are not expected to use symbols, lines, or other drawing elements. Instead, describe the relationships among the various people in the adult participant’s family’s genetic history. Remember, the goal is not to learn how to draw with Word, but to gather information about the family and recognize its significance to the adult participant and that person’s health.
Save the completed form by clicking on “Save as” and     add your last name to the file name, e.g.,     “NR305_Family_Genetic_History_Form_Smith”.
Submit the completed form to the Family Genetic History     basket in the Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 3.     Please post questions about this assignment to the weekly Q & A Forums     so the entire class may view the answers.

iLAB OVERVIEW
 NETW 450 ACL Tutorial
 This document highlights the most important concepts on Access Control List (ACL) that you need to learn in order to configure ACL in CLI. This tutorial does not intend by any mean to cover all ACL applications, but only those scenarios used in the SEC450 iLabs.
Introduction to Access Control List
·         A host-based firewall essentially works closing and/or opening ports in a computer. The engine behind firewalls is built with Access Control Lists (ACL).
 ·         Network-based firewalls are implemented in device-specific appliances and routers. Basically, firewalls in routers filter packets through interfaces to permit or deny them.
 ·         Ports are layer-4 address specified in TCP/IP protocol suit that identify networking processes running in clients and servers.
 ·         ACLs are configured using shell-specific commands. In Cisco IOS, CLI commands access-list and access-group are used to create and apply ACL on an interface.
 ·         ACL can be named by number ID or a name. Naming ACL is useful to identify ACL’s purpose.
 ·         ACL are classified in Standard ACL and Extended ACL.
 ·         Standard ACL’s number IDs are assigned from 1 to 99. Extended ACL’s number IDs are from 100 to 199.
 ·         Standard ACL only uses source IP address in an IP packet to filter through an interface. Hence, standard ACL denies or permits all packets (IP) with the same source IP regardless upper protocols, destination IP address, etc. Example 1: Router(config)#access-list 8 deny host 172.12.3.5
 ·         Extended ACL does filtering packets based on protocol, source IP address, source port number, destination IP address, and destination port number. Example 2: Router(config)#access-list 102 deny tcp host 10.0.3.2 host 172.129.4.1. Deny tcp packets with source IP address 10.0.3.2 and destination IP address 172.129.4.1.
 ·         Since, Standard ACLs only have source IP address; the rule is to apply them in an interface as closer as possible to the destination IP address.
 ·         For the contrary, the rule for Extended ACLs is to apply them in an interface as closer as possible to the source IP address.
 ·         Use Extended ACL in all iLabs as they are more granular on packet filtering.
Create Extended ACL in global configuration
·         You can use access-list command options lt, gt, eq, neq, and range (less than, greater than, equal, not equal, range of ports) to do operation with port numbers.
Example 3: access-list 102 deny tcp any host 11.23.45.7 gt 20 denies all packets with any source IP address to destination IP address 11.23.45.7 and destination tcp port greater than 20.
Example 4: access-list 107 permit udp any any permits all packets with udp protocol with any source IP address to any destination IP address.
 ·         Extended ACL can do packet filtering based on source port number and destination port number.
·         Extended ACL Syntax can be as follows.
access-list <#,name><protocol> host <source_ip><port_qualifier><source_port_number> host <dest_ip><port_qualifier><dest_port_number>
where:
<#,name> is a number between 100 to 199 or a one-word name
<protocol> is any protocol in the TCP/IP suite
<source_ip> and <dest_ip> are the source and destination IP addresses
<port_qualifier> is optional, and can be eq, gt, lt, neq, and range
<source_port_number> and <dest_port_number> follow <port_qualifier> to specify the port number(s). <port_qualifier> and <port_number> can be replaced by the application protocol. Example, http instead of eq 80.
 ·         Creation of ACL follows the three Ps rule. One ACL per protocol, per interface, per traffic direction. Per protocol means ones protocol such as IP, TCP, IPX, UDP, or ICMP can be specified. Per interface means the ACL is applied to an interface to make it active. Per direction means the ACL needs to specify which direction at the interface, packet in or out, filtering applies.
 ·         Steps for configuring a new ACL are: First, create the ACL in CLI global configuration using access-list command(s). Then, apply the ACL using access-group command in CLI interface configuration. The ACL is activated unless it is applied to an interface.
 ·         An ACL consists of one or more access-list commands. Routers process the ACL commands in order; top first to bottom last likewise a scripting or computer program. That is why the order of access-list commands makes a difference.
 ·         The effectiveness of an access-list command depends upon previous access-list commands. Therefore, always write the commands following the order; more-specific-traffic commands first and, then more-generic-traffic commands last. Example 5: It makes sense to write an ACL as
Router(config)#access-list 101 deny tcp host 10.0.3.2 any
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit tcp any any
But never follows the order below, because the second command is more specific, and therefore, “deny” is worthless because the first command already lets packets passing through.
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit tcp any any
Router(config)#access-list 101 deny tcp host 10.0.3.2 any
 ·         All ACL have a hidden access-list command at the end that denies all packets (i.e., deny ip any any). Hence, packets that are not specifically permitted in a command will always be denied by the ACL.
Example 6: Use command Router(config)#access-list 105 permit ip any any at the end of ACL if it requires to permit all other traffic after denying packets with Router(config)#access-list 105 deny icmp any host 192.168.10.244
 ·         Wildcard option is used in access-list commands filtering packets from a subnet of source and/or destination IP addresses instead of single hosts. IP addresses in each of those subnets must be continuous. Filtering on port numbers is also applicable, but it have been omitted for the sake of simplicity. Here is the syntax.
access-list <#,name><protocol><source_ip><source_wildcard><<dest_ip><dest_wildcard>
where:
<#,name> is a number between 100 to 199 or a one-word name
<protocol> is any protocol in the TCP/IP suite
<source_ip> and <dest_ip> are the source and destination IP addresses
<source_wildcard> and <dest_wildcard> specify the subnet ranges of source and destination IP addresses
 ·         Wildcard in ACL has the same meaning as in routing protocols such as EIGRP and OSPF. Wildcard bit 0 means the bit in the IP address must be the same as the corresponding bit in the subnet IP addresses. Wildcard bit 1 means the bit in the IP address can be any value (0 or 1).
Example 7: access-list 105 deny udp 172.16.7.3 0.0.0.3 any means to deny all packets with udp protocol with source IP addresses from 172.16.7.0 to 172.16.7.3 to any destination IP address. Note that .3 is in binary .00000011 and .000000xx for wildcard, where x means any (0 or 1).
Example 8: access-list 109 permit tcp host 192.168.6.3 eq 80 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 means to permit all tcp packets from source IP address 192.168.6.3 and source port tcp 80 (e.g., http server) to destination IP addresses in range 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255. The fact that 10.0.0.0 would not qualify for host IP in classful networks is irrelevant to the ACL.
 ·         Using wildcard with all 0s is the same as using the option host in access-list commands. Example 9: access-list 110 permit ip host 10.23.4.3 host 10.30.2.1 and access-list 110 permit ip 10.23.4.3 0.0.0.0 10.30.2.1 0.0.0.0 are equivalent commands. Both permit filtering packets with source IP address 10.23.4.3 and destination IP address 10.30.2.1.
 ·         Only use wildcard in access-list commands when the ACL requires filtering packets on subnet of IP addresses; either at source, destination, or both.
Applying ACL to an Interface to activation
·         Example 10: Assume you need to create an ACL in router that permits filtering any traffic excepting udp packets with source IP address 10.23.4.3 and destination IP address 10.30.2.1 as shown in the network diagram below.
·         First, you need to create an extended ACL in CLI global configuration.
Router#config t
Router(config)#access-list 103 deny udp host 10.23.4.3 host 10.30.2.1
Router(config)#access-list 103 permit ip any any
 ·         Second, you need to apply ACL 103 in an interface closer to the source (e.g., extended ACL rule of thumb). The closer interface is S0/1 in Router for traffic coming from IP 10.23.4.3. Thus, you go to interface configuration in CLI to activate the ACL.
Router(config)#interface s0/1
Router(config-if)#ip access-group 103 in
 ·         If you need to make any correction after creating an ACL, then erase first the ACL from global and interface configurations. To erase ACL 103 from the previous example execute the following commands.
Router(config)#interface s0/1
Router(config-if)#no ip access-group 103
Router(config)#no ip access-list 103
 Now, you can start over creating ACL 103. If you do not erase the ACL, then new access-list commands will be compounding in the configuration file producing unexpected behavior. Use command show run to verify the ACL is erased and created again correctly.
Verify ACL Configuration
·         Example 11: Let’s say you have been asked to create an ACL in a router R to deny TCP traffic coming through interface Serial 0/2 from source IP address 10.16.2.1 to destination IP address172.16.5.3 with destination port number greater than 200. Also, the ACL should permit filtering any other traffic.
 ·         There are two configuration tasks you need to do in CLI. First, create the ACL. Second, apply the ACL to interface Serial 0/2.
 ·         So, in CLI,
R> enable
R# config t
R(config)# access-list 101 deny tcp host 10.16.2.1 host 172.16.5.3 gt 200
R(config)# access-list 101 permit ip any any this command is needed to permit any other traffic after denying the selecting packets from the first command.
R(config)# interface serial0/2
R(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in this command is to apply the ACL to serial0/2 for traffic coming in.
R(config-if)# exit
R# show run this is to verify the ACL configuration is correct in running-config.file
   R#show running-config
version 12.3
!

line aux 0
line vty 0 4
password cisco
line vty 5 15

end
 ·         If the ACL is not correct, then delete it with the command below and start over again
R# config t
R(config)# no access-list 101
R(config)# interface serial0/2
R(config-if)#no ip access-group 10

  NETW 450 Network Vulnerability Case Study—iLab7
 Objectives
In this lab, students will examine the following objectives.
·         Differentiate the use of IDS and IPS to detect network attacks.
·         Design a network with IDS/IPS.
·         Justify the use of IDS/IPS for a given network solution.
Scenario
A small company is using the topology shown below to secure its intranet while providing a less-secured environment to its eCommerce DMZ server. The company is concerned that firewalls are not enough to detect and prevent network attacks. Hence, deployment of sensors to intrusion detection systems (IDS) and/or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are needed in the network. Your job is to provide recommendations, including a network design with IDS/IPS, that meet the company’s requirements.
Initial Topology
Company’s Requirements
1.     Detect any malicious traffic entering the e-commerce server without performance penalty to traffic getting in the server from revenue-generating customers.
2.     Stop any malicious traffic entering the human resources LAN (HR LAN).
3.     Detect any malicious traffic entering the computer terminal in the marketing LAN (MKT LAN).
4.     Stop any traffic entering the File Server in MKT LAN.
5.     Deploy a centralized database and analysis console in the intranet to managing and monitoring both IDS and IPS sensors.
Note: RED text indicates the required questions to answer
Task 1—Layout the New Network Design
Click on the Initial Network Topology link on the iLab page in Week 7, and save in your computer the MS Powerpoint fileInitial_Network_Topology_iLab7.ppt. This file contains a diagram for the initial network topology and pictures of all components needed to create the new network design.
Review the documentation provided in the references at the end of these instructions to get more familiar with the implementation of IDS and IPS in network design. You need to find a network solution that meets the company’s requirements.
#1. Paste below your new network design diagram.
Task 2—IDS/IPS Recommendations
#2. Write an engineering specification document of at least 250 words (e.g., 1 page of full text, double space, and size 12) describing why your network’s design meets each of the company’s requirements. Justify how each recommendation addresses the company’s needs.
Task 3—Conclusions
#3. Describe in two paragraphs your learning experience in this lab.

 NETW 589 Case Study Wireless Communication Week 5 Keller 
 12 Power Point Slides Plus Speaker Notes
Case Description
The organization you work for has leased a building next door to the existing building. The local area networks in the new building and the existing building must be linked to each other. The distance is 657 feet. Here is the relationship of the two buildings.
Notice that the blue dashed line showing the route of the link crosses a parking lot not under your control. It also crosses a public street. Both buildings are two stories tall. From the second floor or the roof of each building there is a clear line of sight above the expected height of any vegetation currently in the area.
You have been assigned the task of determining the available wireless methods that could be used to connect the buildings to each other and presenting these options to the executive team. The executive team consists of the CEO, the CFO, and the managers of the five business units. They will need to know the following about each option in terms that nontechnical staff can readily understand:
The way the method transmits data back and forth
The advantages of the method
The disadvantages of the method
The costs of the method
Whether the costs are classified as opex or capex
Whether any permits are required from the controlling     jurisdiction
Whether there are any legal requirements that must be     meet before deploying it
The inherent security of the method
Whether you recommend this method and why or why not
Your assignment it to prepare a concise presentation that provides the executive team with all of the information they need to select the best method.
The purpose of this exercise is to give you experience in communicating technical issues to a nontechnical audience, researching options to solve a common network problem, and giving an organized, succinct, and captivating presentation.
Case Grading
 The presentation is worth 140 points.
The PowerPoint presentation is due in Week 5.
