Introduction

Concept of Reliance communication

❖ An Overview of current Market Scenario ❖ Brief Study of the Organization ❖ Organizational Set-up

(1) CONCEPT OF RELIANCE COMMUNICATION Thursday, August 09, 2007 Anil Ambani: Telecom person of the year 2007 His marketing strategy has made millions of Indians happy, they got the best mobile tariffs in the world-local call costs at 15 paise/minute, and STD call at 40 paise/minute NEW DELHI, INDIA: When the VOICE&DATA jury, comprising eminent professionals from the telecom field, met in Delhi in June to choose the Telecom Person of the Year 2007, the five-hour selection process was steamy. The reason was obvious: The telecom sector is growing faster than any other segment and naturally their CEOs have a lot to crow about. The jury had to select one from three CEOs, who had made it to the final list through nominations from the industry and the initial scrutiny. Among the three, one of the main contenders was a young CEO. The jury decided that he should come back next year to try and win the coveted award. The list now had two names-both CEOs of two well-known companies. The pivotal difference between the two: one is an entrepreneur and the other is not so popular, as his credit is shared among a number of his big daddies. Following a five-hour closely held, hotly debated discussion, the name was announced: Anil Dhirubhai Ambani, chairman of Reliance Communications. Anil Ambani joined Reliance Industries (currently promoted by his brother Mukesh Ambani, following their split) in 1983 as co-chief executive officer. Forbes ranked him number 104 among the World's Richest People in 2006. The Ambani family faced criticism when it announced its ambitious plans to build a countrywide telecom network, as its prior expertise lay in commodities-textiles and petrochemicals-business only. Apart from that telecom needs a service-oriented mindset, critics felt. What they did not remember was how the family had served its millions of shareholders. Policies in India are made in line with Ambani's vision, says an industry expert. His business acumen and closeness to politicians assisted him in making it to the Rajya Sabha in June 2004, as an independent member. Ambani chose to resign voluntarily on March 25, 2006.

The same association with politicos gave him negative returns too when the Mayawati Government in Uttar Pradesh put a spanner on his ambitious plans to build a 1,200-acre SEZ. Media sees his aggression when he announces financial results for the Reliance ADA group of companies, and when he attends the annual general meetings and faces questions from shareholders. When he meets the press, he has answers to all their questions. He also remembers to call select journalists by name. To merchant bankers he, who has already contributed immensely to the financial reforms of the country, is one of the financial wizards of the world. May be because of his expertise, he gave up in the race to grab Hutchison Essar stake, after indirectly jacking up the valuation. His negotiations with the Qualcomm chief are also a folk theory now. How did Ambani become the VOICE&DATA Telecom Person of the Year 2007? What are his personal and organizational achievements in the recent past? His path-breaking marketing strategy that was put in by the strongest team of telecom professionals the country has ever seen has made millions of Indians happy as they got the best mobile tariffs in the world. The aggression resulted to adding to his already swollen kitty. Every hour India will be adding around 20,000 new mobile customers and Reliance Communications over 4,000. When mobile telephony first began in India, a local call cost Rs 16 per minute; an STD Rs 50; and a call to the US Rs 100 per minute. With Reliance Communication’s pioneering price initiative, a local call now costs a mere 15 paise per minute, STD 40 paise, and a call to the US costs less than Rs 2 per minute. The presence of Reliance Communications is making the competition in India panicky. Global telecom forces will also shortly start feeling the heat. Ambani has also recently announced his Rs 1,200 crore buyout of Yipes Holdings. Achiever's Pride • Undertook financial restructuring of Reliance communications • To spend Rs 16,000 crore to expand and strengthen network coverage • After expansion, Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless network in the world • Launched the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777 • Subscriber base grew to over 28 mn during last fiscal, registering 60% growth • Total Revenue shot up to Rs 14,468 crore, an increase of 34% • Net Profit rises to Rs 3,163 crore, an increase of over 600%

• Revenues of the wireless business increased by 46% to Rs 10,728 crore • Broadband achieved revenue growth of 123% to Rs 1,144 crore • Market capitalization crossed Rs 100,000 crore • Will add 23,000 more towers • Telecom services will be available in over 23,000 towns and 600,000 villages • Next generation DTH network will be launched before end of the year

Reliance Communications' wireless subscriber base grew to over 28 mn last fiscal, registering a 60% growth. This makes it one of the top two wireless operators in India. "Economic growth in the future will be indexed to connectivity of millions of enterprise and individual customers. Over the next few years, we will have over 100 million customers, making us one of the top 5 telecom players in the world. In four years, we put up a total of 14,000 towers across the country. This year alone we will add 23,000 more towers. Our wireless network is currently available in 10,000 towns. By the end of this year, it will be available in over 23,000 towns and 600,000 villages," Anil Ambani said at the first annual general meeting of Reliance Communications since the re-organization of the Reliance Group in June 2005. "In four years of operations, we invested around Rs 32,000 crore. This year alone we will invest over Rs 20,000 crore. At the end of this year, we will have covered over 90% of our population. If Version 1.0 of the Indian telecom story was all about affordability, Version 2.0 will be about reach. Our

Network expansion will give us the power to drive the market and stay ahead of the curve," Ambani adds. According to Ambani, the financial restructuring of Reliance Communications is the biggest turnaround story in the history of corporate India. The inherited ownership structure of Reliance Communications was complex. The reorganization has yielded a simple, fair, and transparent ownership structure, and given Reliance Communications 100% ownership of all operational and associate companies. Reliance Communications is now among the three most valuable private sector companies in India, and the five most valuable telecom companies in Asia. In the current

Fiscal, Reliance Communications will spend Rs 16,000 crore to further expand and strengthen its network coverage across India and the rest of the world. In addition to organic growth, Reliance Communications will leverage the advantages derived from this impressive financial platform to explore and pursue any significant Opportunities available in the telecommunications sector. "We are currently evaluating a number of inorganic opportunities in select international markets to further expand our footprint," Ambani said. Reliance Communication’s One India, One Tariff plan allowed millions to connect across India at just one rupee a minute. The company was the first one to break the Rs 1,000 entry-barrier with the launch of the lowest-cost classic brand handset at Rs 777. As per its expansion plan, Reliance Communications will have the single largest wireless network in the world, covering over 900 mn Indians or more than 15% of the global population. It will cover 23,000 towns or every single Indian habitation with a population of over 1,000. Reliance Communications will cover almost 100% of all rail routes, providing seamless voice, video, radio, and Internet connectivity to 14 mn commuters every day. It will also cover almost 100% of all national highways, and 84% of all state highways, giving millions of users the power to talk, text, surf, play, chat or simply stay in touch across nearly the entire length of India's 2,00,000-km-long road network. Having achieved tremendous growth, the main challenge for Reliance Communications is to improve quality of service and ARPU. Its enterprise business is also not in a position to compete with the global majors. Stock market valuations may boost the fortunes of an entrepreneur, but Ambani needs to address the issues faced by the growing mobile customer base, especially in India, where bureaucracy takes pride in checking the businessman.

(2) AN OVERVIEW OF CURRENT MARKET SCENARIO Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Communications Ventures) is one of India's largest providers of integrated communications services. The company has more than 20 million customers and serves individual consumers, enterprises, and carriers, providing wireless, wireline, long distance, voice, data, and internet communications services through a number of operating subsidiaries. The company sells communications and digital entertainment products and services through its chain of Reliance Web World retail outlets. The company's Reliance Infocomm subsidiary provides wireless communications services throughout India. Reliance Communications is part of the Reliance - Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The current network expansion undertaken by Reliance is the largest wireless network expansion undertaken by any operator across the world. It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhai’s 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002. Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and wire line) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services — for enterprises as well as individuals, applications, and consulting. Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionizing the way India communicates and networks, truly bringing about a new way of life. We will leverage our strengths to execute complex global-scale projects to facilitate leading-edge information and communication services affordable to all individual consumers and businesses in India. We will offer unparalleled value to create customer delight and enhance business productivity. We will also generate value for our capabilities beyond Indian borders and enable millions of India's knowledge workers to deliver their services globally.

1) INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC

What is SWOT Analysis?

SWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction and serves as a basis for the development of marketing plans. It accomplishes this by assessing an organizations strengths (what an organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an organization) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an organization). SWOT analysis is an important step in planning and its value is often underestimated despite the simplicity in creation. The role of SWOT analysis is to take the information from the environmental analysis and separate it into internal issues (strengths and weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis determines if the information indicates something that will assist the firm in accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity),

SWOT analysis is a general technique which can be applied across diverse functions and activities, but it is particularly appropriate to the early stages of planning for a TIPD visit. Performing SWOT analysis involves generating and recording the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats relating to a given task. It is customary for the analysis to take account of internal resources and capabilities (strengths and weaknesses) and factors external to the organization (opportunities and threats).

SWOT analysis can provide: A framework for identifying and analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

This checklist is for those carrying out, or participating in, SWOT analysis. It is a simple, popular technique which can be used in preparing or amending plans, in problem solving and decision making. Illustrative diagram of SWOT analysis If SWOT analysis does not start with defining a desired end state or objective, it runs the risk of being useless. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. An example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-driven SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, including SWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research.

Strengths: attributes of the organization those are helpful to achieving the objective. Weaknesses: attributes of the organization those are harmful to achieving the objective. Opportunities: external conditions those are helpful to achieving the objective. Threats: external conditions that is harmful to achieving the objective.

SWOT analysis can be used for all sorts of decision-making, and the SWOT template enables proactive thinking, rather than relying on habitual or instinctive reactions. The SWOT analysis template is normally presented as a grid, comprising four sections, one for each of the SWOT headings: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The free SWOT template below includes sample questions, whose answers are inserted into the relevant section of the SWOT grid. The questions are examples, or discussion points, and obviously can be altered depending on the subject of the SWOT analysis. Note that many of the SWOT questions are also talking points for other headings - use them as you find most helpful, and make up your own to suit the issue being analyzed. It is important to clearly identify the subject of a SWOT analysis, because a SWOT analysis is a perspective of one thing, be it a company, a product, a proposition, and idea, a method, or option, etc. Here are some examples of what a SWOT analysis can be used to assess: • a company (its position in the market, commercial viability, etc) • a method of sales distribution • a product or brand • a business idea • a strategic option, such as entering a new market or launching a new product • a opportunity to make an acquisition • a potential partnership • changing a supplier • outsourcing a service, activity or resource • an investment opportunity

I. MARKETING VISITING & SURVEY (17/6/2008 to 24/6/2008)

II. APPROACH FOR NEW RETAIL COUNTER (25/6/2008 to 2/7/2008)

III. TO LAUNCH NEW SCHEME THROUGH THE CANOPY (3/7/2008 to 10/7/2008)

MARKETING VISITING & SURVEY – 17th June was my first day of summer training in Reliance communication in Dhanbad. I met to satyakant sir. He took my interview and selects me for summer training. Then he chose my mentor Mr. Rajeev sir who guides me in summer training. After that I had to do my summer training under in Rajeev sir. First day I went Puja enterprises that have the Distributor ship of Reliance Communication. Then after we met the Three DSR (Distributor Sales Representative).Through the DSR we saw and got the all information about the market and knew that how they work and how increase the goodwill of R. Communication. They give the regular information about current scheme & plan. We saw that there were more than 200 hundred small & big counters under the Puja enterprises.
|NAME | AREA |
|SASTY |Station, Hirapur, Park market, Chiragora….. |
|SUNNY |Police line, Steel gate, Koyla bhawan, Saraidhela… |
|ASHISH |Bekarbandh, Bus stand, City center, Dhaiya... |

AREA OF DSR UNDER PUJA ENTERPRISES

Time of visited all retail counters with DSR I learnt all those thing how to explain in front of retailer about the plan & schemes and main thing I learnt there how to convince for accepting a big budget schemes. We familiarized with some kinds of problems those having been retailer, in his working day with customers. After finishing all the counters I went again to the main office for reporting my work to Rajeev sir. Along with all work we had to also seen those some counters which did not keep recharge voucher, E-recharge and some types of reliance handset like GSK & CDMA. The main reason through which they can not keep the above given facilities is that they were not telling their problem with us. For removing these problems, there was only one way that they have to tell us their problem with us through which we can remove that problem. Therefore at last I asked the problem and they shared with us their problem. Since I was a junior therefore it was my responsibility to keep all the problems in front of Mr. Rajeev sir.

It was my marketing visiting for the 7 days which was the great experienced work for me. In this period I learnt some kinds of idea for increasing the sale, also I got familiarized with those problems which generally come in the market for selling purpose.

APPROACH FOR NEW RETAIL COUNTER – In the second phase of my training I got the target for opening 45 new counters in the whole area that comes under in Mr. Rajeev sir. I achieved my target within 7 days for the 45 counters new approach I moved all around the area which comes under in Mr. Rajeev sir. I was having the different kinds of plans and schemes through which I could make the new counters. Area was as follow: Station, Hirapur, Parkmarket, Chiragora, Police line, Steel gate, Koyla bhawan, Saraidhela, Bekarbandh, Bus stand, City center, Dhaiya

I got my 100% target. It was the good achievement for me and according to Mr. Rajeev sir it was the much appreciated work which was done by me.

TO LAUNCH NEW SCHEME THROUGH THE CANOPY – In the last phase of my training one new scheme was launched in the market place and this work was conducted by the organization through me.

In the canopy we had to achieved a target and the target was to provide a latest offer to the customer directly launched by RIM service by reducing the price of RS.299/- SIM card only in RS.99/-.with Rs.50/- talk time (On-net) This offer was specially made for customer not for retail shopkeepers .during the 7 days period of canopy we have to only analyze the response of customer upon this offer. After that for the selling of SIM we have to provide this offer in the main location of city or in the crowded area like opposite side of Big Bazaar, near of City Centre, ISM gate, in campus of CMRI, Govindpur, Hirapur Bazar, Dhaiya. I got the target for selling 50 SIM cards in a single canopy. but I got very good response from the customer and I sold more than 50 SIM card in a single canopy. That was also my good achievement and I knew how to sale and provide service with product to customer.

Conclusions

❖ Conclusion ❖ Finding

Conclusion

Indian economy is an emerging one and is growing very fast at the average GDP rate 8-9% so in this emerging market competition level among telecommunication services provides new players are coming who will necessarily intensify the competition. New products and new schemes are being offered by the telecom service providers. The need for large information capacity has grown tremendously due to the demand of real time information. Telecommunication has now become a major information transmission system and telecom has undoubtedly emerged as the most important industry in India. Indian telecom companies are putting in their best offer to rope in major telecom operators of the world e.g. Vodafone, Aircel and MTN etc. are playing their role in synergy with the operation of the Indian companies. Process of acquisition and merger are in process and future will be only for those companies who have an edge over others in the field. Service provided and the better quality of network etc. is provided at affordable cost. In this process of competition it is assumed that only those companies will survive who adopt suitable market strategy and technology innovation and up gradation to suit the aspiration and demand of the consumer.

RCOMM cellular ltd. An Anil Ambani Group of cos. Is very fast catching up with the market by providing cheaper calling rates. The market strategies adopted by its executives are bearing fruits and the company although being the Second one to enter the market of Bihar & Jharkhand has found a suitable niche and recognition in the consumer. But this is not a thing for self contentment as the survey reveals that in network, service and distributor, its place is very far behind to other competitors viz. Airtel, BANL, and Tata indicom etc. so to withstand the competition resources mobilization and technological innovation on the part of cos. To upgrade its quality of network and services is urgently called for.

Market access and growth is alright but the improvement of quality on the above counts is necessity of the time.

Suggestions Appendices ❖ Bibliography ❖ Questionnaire

Suggestions

On the basis of extensive study and research, here are some recommendation and suggestion which may help the company to market the product and service more profitability and increase its share in the Telecom market.

1. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES

The company expand the budget allocation for promotional campaign in center Bihar & Jharkhand. It has affected the sale service brand image of Reliance especially in Jharkhand. Low supports in promotion have lead to fluctuation in sale

There may be some useful tools which can be summed as follows:-

1) Advertising – advertising should have a clear objective and message, which has not been found in recent ads. Reliance is a faster growing provider service in each state .every offers and schemes they should show with proper message for benefit to the customer. In busy life customer do not remembered any offers and which service we can provided for the customer therefore they should by force showing advertisement in growing market and among customer .customers wants continuously exposure in Cable and Local newspapers.

2) Persuasive Advertising :- Now there is a need of persuasive advertising for Reliance service which can be moved into the category of “comparative advertising”. It will help the company to establish the superiority of its brand service through specific comparison of one or more attributes and features.

(3)Technical Expertise:- The advertisement should show the companies expertise, experience and pride in market the product service sale.

Media A combination of print ads and TV commercial do a better job. Local ads and publicity should be giving more stress. Hoardings, banners, wall painting should be promoted, as some expenses are also beard by dealers. Ads on Cable network result greater audience attention. Schemes, gift offers etc. must be highlighted through Radio and Local newspapers.

2. SALES PROMOTION

Cash discount

Premiums

Appointment of sale promoter

Financial schemes

3. OCCASIONAL DISCOUNT

The company may go for occasional discount offers or price off from time to time specially during any festival. Off season discount may also prove helpful to check fluctuating sales.

4. PRODUCT QUALITY AND TECHNICAL FEATURES

As for as some hand set mobile product quality is concerned, there is an urgent need of technical up gradation of Reliance mobile product line. It would be beneficial for company to launch some colors mobile hand set with the some added feature and minimum price.

The Gettysburg Address

...Abraham Lincoln: The Gettysburg Address (1863) At the centre of all that Americans value is freedom. This includes political, religious, economic and personal freedom etc., and many Americans regard their society as the best and freest society in the world. Freedom is a value that is deeply rooted in the history of the country, as it goes back to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and later also the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The ideal in these is that liberty and equality go hand in hand, but this is not always the case. The American Civil War is one the greatest examples on this. The war had its roots in the question about slavery, and it ended up costing the lives of more Americans than all of the U.S.’s subsequent wars together. On the afternoon of November 19 1863, four months after one of the Civil Wars bloody fights, the president at that time, Abraham Lincoln, holds a speech in which he encourages the people of America to end the war. Furthermore, he reminds the audience of the ideals on which America was founded, and how the Civil War is threatening them. Last but not least, Lincoln honors the fallen and encourages people to finish their unfinished work. Abraham Lincoln frames his speech in a historical perspective and introduces two of the most important American values already in his first sentence of his speech. “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition...

Analysis: the Gettysburg Address

...Analysis: The Gettysburg Address One of the greatest and memorable battles in the American Civil War in the 1860s is called The Battle of Gettysburg. Over 8000 soldiers died and were buried in temporary graves without any dignity. That’s why they were reburied at the Gettysburg National Cemetery in July 1863. Edward Everett the main orator, orated for 2 hours at the dedication of the cemetery and reflected all of the details of the battle, whereas President Abraham Lincoln held a very short speech within 2 minutes, which today is the most memorable speech in the world. Its structure and message is so striking and timeless that even students at high schools have to learn it by heart. He starts his speech at the very first beginning, namely when the United States were found in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, which he even quotes saying “that all men are created equal”. This gives his speech a good basic and foundation to rely on and picks up the idea of a great, equal nation, that contradicts by having fought such a war. However that may be, by saying they were all created equal he honors the fallen soldiers, as they honored this value as well and died for it. So you might say the civil war was fought to secure the American values such as freedom and equality. After that he goes on with talking about the present. He perceives the civil war as being a test “whether that nation can long endure”. And for him it seems like we passed the test, as many soldiers gave up...

Network Address Classes

...internet the Internet community in five address classes. These classes were defined in order to accommodate networks of varying sizes. TCP/IP supports class A, B, and C addresses assigned to hosts. These classes define which bits are used for the network ID and which bits are used for the host ID. It also defines the possible number of networks and the number of hosts per network. Class A addresses are assigned to networks that have a very high number of hosts. The first 8-bits make up the network ID while the remaining 24-bits are used to define the host ID. This affords a network with class A addresses to have up to 126 unique networks and over 16,000,000 hosts per network. This is the largest address class in respect to hosts and compared to class B addresses. Addresses in the B class are assigned to networks that are medium to large in size. The first two bits are always assigned to binary 1 and 0, while the remainder of bit completing the first octet as well as the second are used to define the network ID. The following and remaining 14-bits are used to define the ID of the hosts. There are 16,384 networks that are allowed in this class and 65,534 hosts per network. This class has close to an even amount of networks to hosts per network ratio. Whereas class C addresses give you more networks than hosts. A class C address is assigned to networks that are small and don’t have very many hosts. The first three bits of this address class are assigned the binary code 1 1 0...

They will have tablets, laptops, departmental printers, and smart phones. This is also based upon the understanding that every Department will have at least two printers for the staff and one for the Manager/Supervisor or VP of that Department. So with that being said, we estimated that could be at least three or more accurately four ip addresses per employee. So we multiplied the number of users per department by the number of estimated devices that each employee will be using. With the rationale in mind of estimating that there would be at least 4 possible devices per user, plus three possible printers per department, and the addition of a Wireless Access Point on the Management floor, network hardware which should include the printers we previously mentioned, one router for the LAN and WAN connections, a wireless access point, 12 printers for the entire organizations printing needs, and 5 servers We determined that there had to be one File and Print server, A Directory server that is also running DNS and DHCP, an E-commerce/Database server, a Web Proxy server and a Web server. It is understood that these servers are not part of the project plan per se, but by establishing an entirely new ip address schema we must address the number of servers...

Ip Address Classes

...IP Addresses Classes and Special-Use IP Address Space The A, B, C IP address classes were first introduced in the 1970s as the original routing scheme to organize IP addresses into manageable, recognizable chunks. They were designed to signify different sizes of networks. Class A was for large networks that didn’t need many networks but instead needed a lot of hosts. Class B was medium sized with more networks but less hosts. Class C was for small organizations that needed many networks but few hosts. This system worked well until the 1990s when, due to demand, a classless system was developed called the CIDR (classless inter domain routing) system. CIDR allows for a more flexible allocation and customization of a network’s routing system. The address spaces are as follows: Class A’s first octet ranges from 1 to 126 Class B’s first octet ranges from 128 to 191 Class C’s first octet ranges from 192 to 223 Class D’s first octet ranges from 226 to 239 and are multicast addresses comprised of either pull or push types. A first octet that starts with 127, 224 and 225 are reserved for government use and testing. RFC 1918 IP address ranges are private and can be used within any network to subnet or expand their network. They will never go over the internet and are automatically dropped by any router connected to the internet. They are as follows: Class A = 10.0.0.1 through 10.255.255.254 Class B = 172.16.0.1 through 172.31.255.254 Class C = 192.168.0.1 through 192.168...

Ip Address Scenario

...Unit 1 Exercise 1 IP address scenario There are many factors involved in this scenario. For example, the building may lend itself to certain network designs. You may have multiple floors or a single floor. Multiple data closets or just one. You may have virtualized servers or desktops. You will want to accommodate all these into your design. 50% may seem like too much now, but realistically, 200 or 300% might be more acurate. A simple design you can consider is 1 floor with a single data closet serving 150 users. You need: A core network Networks for your firewall, dmz, remote vpn clients, etc switch mgmt network server network voice network wireless network networks for other services you have not yet identified, like security, cameras, fire, door, video, etc You should have multiple domain servers and dhcp servers While you can get away with using high end switches for dhcp, a couple windows servers will do the trick and give more insight when you are troubleshooting Most systems can get along with dhcp, so that is fine, (some older systems still need host files) but there are support benefits to statically assigned addresses. In any case, you will want reserved space in these networks for your network devices, ie. vlans, redundant or clustered systems, etc. For you design, you could use the 10.1.0.0 address space using /21 (10.1.0.1 - 10.1.7.254) Your netmask on the devices will be 255.255.255.0 Reserve the first and last 20 or so addresses in each dhcp...

Analysis of Gettysburg Address

...Rhetoric Essay In Abraham Lincoln’s speech, The Gettysburg Address,he inspires morale and motivation to the Union soldiers through the use of rhetorical devices such as diction, repetition, ethos, and concession. Lincoln in two to three minutes managed to honor those who had fallen, justify the reasons behind the Civil war, establish the principles upon this nation was founded upon, and influenced soldiers to finish what they have started. To bring unity between the North and South and most importantly to abolish the practice of slavery. Lincoln commences his speech by reminding the audience of the founding fathers vision referencing to the Declaration of Independence, “Fourscore and seven years ago”. Lincoln’s choice of diction portrays him as intelligent and knowledgeable, which asserts his ethos,in result an authoritative ambiance. He then goes on to say “our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation”, adopting a less intimidating tone through the use of concession. Aware of the fact that the best way to connect with an audience is to have something in common. “Our fathers”, demonstrates diction being used to establish trust and unity between the audience and Lincoln.

Ip Address Class

...IP Addresses Classes and Special-Use IP Address Space History of IP Classes. When IP was first standardized in September 1981, the specification required that each system attached to an IP-based Internet be assigned a unique, 32-bit Internet address value. Systems that have interfaces to more than one network require a unique IP address for each network interface. To provide the flexibility required to support networks of varying sizes, the Internet designers decided that the IP address space should be divided into three address classes-Class A, Class B, and Class C. This is often referred to as classful addressing. Each class fixes the boundary between the network prefix and the host number at a different point within the 32-bit address. Class A Class A network address has an 8-bit network prefix, with the highest order bit set to 0 (zero) and a 7-bit network number, followed by a 24-bit host number. Today, Class A networks are referred to as “/8s” since they have an 8-bit network prefix. A maximum of 126 (27 -2) /8 networks can be defined. Each /8 supports a maximum of 224 -2 (16,777,214) hosts per network. Since the /8 address block contains 231 (2,147,483,648) individual addresses and the IPv4 address space contains a maximum of 232 (4,294,967,296) addresses, the /8 address space is 50 percent of the total IPv4 unicast address space.

Gettysburg Address Rhetorical Analysis

...Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” has a strong and lasting influence on all those in attendance, including the friends and families of those who perished in the onslaught that occurred at Gettysburg. Lincoln memorialized those who lost their lives in the battle, while instilling a passion in the hearts of the remaining soldiers. Lincoln used pathos, repetition, and balanced phrasing to help him achieve his purpose. Many examples of emotional appeal can be found in the lines of the “Gettysburg Address.” Lincoln opens his speech by mentioning the ideals upon which this country was created. This reminded the audience of the freedom received with the writing of the “Declaration of Independence” and of victory over a conflicting power. Lincoln states “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” This statement immortalizes the sacrifices that the fallen soldiers made and reminds the audience their loved ones died for a cause and their sacrifices will never be forgotten. Lincoln uses repetition throughout his speech for effect. Lincoln states that “we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground.” Even though the words that he uses are synonymous, the repetition allows Lincoln to strengthen his point, that the sacrifice these men made vastly outweighs mere words alone. In the final sentence, Lincoln proclaims “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government...

Ip Address Scenario

...Theren Woods 9/24/2015 NT 1210 Unit 1. Exercise 1. IP Addressing Scenario A design for a 1 floor office with a single data closet serving 145 to 254 users would need a core network, networks for firewall, a switch management network, a server network, voice network, wireless network, and a network for future services to accommodate the potential 50% growth the company intends to happen. The subnet range that should be used to accommodate 145 hosts plus a potential 50% growth within the next two years should be 255.255.255.0. This subnet mask range would support 254 hosts and this particular scenario is only planning for no more than 218. The IP addresses should be statically assigned because dynamically assigned IP addresses can change each time you connect to the internet but statically assigned IP addresses are reserved for the user and don’t change over time. Statically assigned IP addresses would definitely be best for an office environment because you want the same IP addresses everyday so the computers can talk to the server and with one another daily. You should have more than one network/subnets for computers, printers, future use and other host that may be needed. If DHCP is used you should use a Windows Server because it is safer. Normally a hacker will try to penetrate your router or firewall first so if that happens they will also have your DHCP. If it is on a server that’s another added layer to try and hack...

Neighbor Discovery Messages All functions of Neighbor Discovery are performed with the following messages: * Router Solicitation  IPv6 hosts send Router Solicitation messages to discover IPv6 routers present on the link. To prompt IPv6 routers to respond immediately, hosts send multicast Router Solicitation messages rather than waiting for a periodic Router Advertisement message. * Router Advertisement  IPv6 routers send Router Advertisement messages either periodically or in response to the receipt of Router Solicitation messages.
