CASE #2

1. Henderson & Associates, a mid-sized engineering firm, hired you as a consultant to design their network. The company occupies three floors in a building downtown with PC’s on all 40 desks and three servers. The company management wants access to all 40 desks on all floors. The management also wants to keep costs down but needs a reliable network. Select a topology or combination of topologies, to service this company. Draw a map of this network.




4. Design a network for a 3-D imaging firm. It must have connectivity for 40 high-speed imaging workstations and two servers. This network must support high performance and easy reconfiguration into as many as eight workgroups, any of which may have as many as a dozen members. Explain the kind of networking device required to create such as environment and why it’s the only choice for this particular kind of networking implementation.
