Question No. 1:
(Marks 10)
Some scenarios are given below related to various network deployments for different purposes. You are
required to read each of the given scenarios and answer the following questions. Give your answer in the
table below:
Scenario I:
You have two different networks: one using TCP/IP and another using a proprietary protocol. These
networks need to communicate with each other, but they use different protocols. You need a device that
can facilitate communication between these two different network protocols. Which network device
should you use to connect these two networks?
Scenario II:
You are setting up a network in a laboratory where workstations need to be connected to a hub. The lab
uses a linear bus topology, and the distance from the hub to the last workstation is 150 meters. BNC
connectors are used for the connections. Which cable type should you use to connect the workstations to
the hub?
Scenario III:
Two buildings in a corporate campus need to be connected with a high-security, long-distance cable that
is immune to electromagnetic interference. The distance between the buildings is approximately 1
kilometer, and the connection will handle sensitive data. Which cable type should be used to connect the
two buildings securely?
Scenario IV:
Your organization has three separate networks that need to be connected to each other and to the internet.
Each network should maintain its own IP range, but they must be able to communicate with each other
and share a single internet connection. Which network device should you use to connect the networks and
provide internet?
Scenario V:
You are tasked with connecting several desktop computers to a central switch in a small office. The
maximum distance between any computer and the switch is 80 meters. The network should support
standard Ethernet speeds. Which cable type should you use to connect the PCs to the switch?
Scenario IV A router with NAT and routing capabilities is the appropriate network device for
connecting multiple networks, allowing them to communicate with each other, and
sharing a single internet connection.
Scenario V Cat 6 cables are a good choice as they provide reliable performance for standard
Ethernet speeds and are well-suited for the distance requirements of your setup.
