If you picked a model that is not available in the program, drop-in something similar and give it the name of the model you have chosen. · Configure the firewall as necessary. o Hint – If you are offering any services outside of the internal network, you will want to configure the firewall to have a DMZ. · Check your routing and ensure that things are still working! If services cannot pass through the firewall check to ensure that you have proper incoming and outgoing rules set. · Update your configuration management report to show the changes to the network as needed. o Be prepared to explain whether you think this is effective system administration or not.
