Complete the following short answer questions: 1. Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server which will contain a wired connection to both digital storage media as well as an optical device. Both the client and the server will connect to their respective workgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 1,700 meters apart. They need to communicate at 500 Mbps. Your design should...
What primary differences are there between managed and unmanaged switches? In what instances would it make sense to use an unmanaged switch?
a) Ethernet switches (bridges) are capable of learning where (to which port) frames with specific MAC addresses should be forwarded. Name and briefly explain the algorithm used for this purpose. b)Name and briefly explain the protocol responsible for preventing problems that may arise when network connections between switches may form loops. c) How does the switch (bridge) ensure that frames are no longer forwarded to a host that has been disconnected from the network? Name and briefly explain the mechanism...
Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Both the client and the server will connect to their respectiveworkgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 900 meters apart. They need to communicate at 800 Mbps. Your design will specify the locations of any switches and the transmission link between the switches. Then add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate...
In the network shown below, nodes A through G are hosts, node H is an Ethernet hub. node S is an Ethernet switch. Host G acts as an IP-level router (i.e. a gateway) between the two subnets. Subnet 1 is allocated IP block 197.15.35.0/24. and Subnet! is allocated IP block 200.40.1 S. 192/26. All of the network interfaces in Subnet 1 were manufactured by Intel. All of the network interfaces in Subnet2 were manufactured by Apple. Suppose a DXS resolver...
Vista Company manufactures electronic equipment. In 2018, it purchased from an outside supplier the special switches used in each of its products. The supplier charged Vista $2.9 per switch. As an alternative, Vista’s CEO considered purchasing either machine A or machine B so the company could manufacture its own switches. The CEO decided at the beginning of 2019 to purchase machine A, based on the following data: Machine A Annual fixed cost (depreciation) $ 144,000 Variable cost per switch 0.90...

1. A 6-node network is connected into an Ethernet switch implementing a star topology. Nodes are labeled A through F, and their MAC addresses follow M-A, M-B, and so on. Suppose that the following frames are sent a. A sends a frame to E b. Ereplies with a frame to A c. F sends a frame to B d. B replies with a frame to F e. D sends a frame to A The Ethernet switch table is initially empty....
Vista Company manufactures electronic equipment. In 2018, it purchased from an outside supplier the special switches used in each of its products. The supplier charged Vista $2.4 per switch. As an alternative, Vista's CEO considered purchasing either machine A or machine B so the company could manufacture its own switches. The CEO decided at the beginning of 2019 to purchase machine A based on the following data: Annual fixed cost (depreciation) Variable cost per switch Machine A $155.000 0.85 Machine...
