You know what components are present in the LAN today, and you have been given a firm budget $4,500.00 and one week in which to make a decision. You have to decide what to do and how to spend the money.You do not have enough time to bring in a consultant, so you are on your own. You must decide what you are going to do, research the market, identify what you are going to buy, and how you are going to buy it.
