NSI Physical Responsibilities: Device Preparation o Identify and Map Unique Ports — Unique ports are all ports that fall outside of a standard configuration. These include uplink ports, special VLAN ports, special speed/duplex ports, and other defining features identified in the configuration. NSI will identify unique ports from the provided running configurations and create a 'Part -Mapping' Spreadsheet. City of South Bend is responsible for reviewing and approving the provided spreadsheet. o Install New Equipment - NSI is responsible for the installation of new equipment and removal of the replaced equipment. o Label New Equipment— NSI is responsible for labeling each device with its configured Hostname, IP address, and any relevant port configurations (ie: data ports, camera ports, access point ports). If City of South Send desires a label to be affixed to the equipment it is their responsibility to provide those labels prior to installation. o Dress Cables — NSI is responsible for wrapping the new patch cables installed in a neat an orderly manner. Existing cables will remain as previously installed. Infrastructure Network Layer Requirements The Network Layer involves all aspects of user and application connectivity and routing in the network. The requirements in this section include: VLAN / network creation, developing routing relationships, creating failover configurations, and more. NSI will provision the network hardware in accordance to the design outlined in the proposed solution above. The following responsibilities for the Network are required for a successful implementation: City of South Bend Network Responsibilities: Network Preparation o Provide Network Schema - City of South Bend is responsible for providing details related to the network design as requested by NSI. Items may include remote access / VPN information, device IP addresses, passwords, network topology, expected failover policies, etc. o Develop Network -Ready -Far -Use Testing Requirements - City of South Bend is responsible for developing a list of critical services that must be operational at the end of the installation. These services are considered an indication that the installation was performed successfully and completely. These may involve: ■ Verifying Access to Email ■ Verifying DHCP Services Verifying Firewall permissions / Internet Connectivity ■ Verifying WAN Connectivity / Optimal Routing Device Preparation o Develop Configuration Features — NSI and City of South Bend will review features available on the device platforms and determine which ones will be implemented. This will make up the bulk of the device configuration. o Develop Configuration Scripts -- Using the 'Port -Mapping' spreadsheet and the 'City of South Bend Configuration Features' spreadsheet, NSI will develop a configuration script for each device that most closely adheres to best -practices and interoperates with the existing network as described by City of South Bend . Site Preparation o Approve Service Window — Based upon NSI's recommended service window City of South Bend will specify and approve a time installation can be performed. The installation of new equipment is characterized by major disruption to network services and should be accounted for at each affected location. NSI Network Responsibilities: a Network Preparation o Develop Revised Network Schema — NSI will develop revised network documentation outlining the design post -installation. Information such as remote access, device IP addresses, passwords, network topology, and expected faHover policies will www.nsil.com WHY we do is as important as WHAT we do (574) 271-0900 Page: 20 of 25
