Question

With the aid of well labelled diagrams, design a network system using a combination
(at least two) of any of the network topologies. Consider the following: AP (8)
i. Choose a Network Address for you network system
ii. Base on your Network Address, assign IP addresses to the devices in your network.
iii. There should be a Server, a Switch and a Router in your network.
(b) Discuss the importance of Networking in an Organization. Your discussion should
focus on the application of technology in networking. (Use any organization of your

Answer 1

a)

As per the given 3 questions, I designed a network with a router, server, and a switch.

I assigned a network IP address to all my networks.

The network design is the combination of two topologies i.e Bus and Start here.

The network addresses are as follows:

192.168.1.0

192.168.2.0

192.168.3.0

192.168.4.0

Server IP is 192.168.1.2

Router IP is 10.0.0.1 different IPs for different interfaces like 10.0.0.2 and 3,4 respectively.
