Due Week 10 and worth 300 points

Your company just recently installed new routers onto the network and has asked you to design the appropriate security to prevent unwanted traffic and to prevent illegal activities from occurring. Your job in this project is to use the diagram below and the criterion set by the company to come up with the proper command structure to create the access control lists. Document the steps you used to create and determine (justify) the usage of your ACL and is part of process of implementation of a new security feature. Remember to include what type of access list you created, where you applied, and why.  Below is a diagram of the current network and some specific requests from the company.

Some specific request from the company

3.      Consideration needs to be made to prevent Telnet, ftp, and ability to ping from outside of the network.
