37. The government has planned to develop digital awareness in the rural areas (5) of the [5]
nation. According to the plan, an initiative is taken to set up Digital Training Centers in
villages across the country with its Head office in the nearest cities. The committee has
hired a networking consultancy to create a model of the network in which each City Head
office is connected to the Training Centers situated in 3 nearby villages. As a network
expert in the consultancy, you have to suggest the best network-related solutions for the
issues/problems raised in (a) to (e), keeping in mind the distance between various locations
and other given parameters.

Village1 Training Center to City Head Office - 2 KM
Village2 Training Center to City Head Office - 1·5 KM
Village3 Training Center to City Head Office - 3 KM
Village1 Training Center to Village 2 Training Center - 3·5 KM
Village1 Training Center to Village 3 Training Center - 4·5 KM
Village2 Training Center to Village 3 Training Center - 3·5 KM

The number of Computers installed at various centers is as follows :

Village1 Training Center - 10
Village2 Training Center - 15
Village3 Training Center - 15
City Head Office - 100
(a) It is observed that there is a huge data loss during the process of data transfer from one
village to another. Suggest the most appropriate networking device, which needs to be
placed along the path of the wire connecting one village with another to refresh the signal
and forward it ahead. Repeater
(b) Draw the cable layout (location-to-location) to efficiently connect various Village
Training Centers and the City Head Office for the above shown layout.

(c) Which hardware networking device, will you suggest to connect all the computers
within the premises of every Village Training Center ? Hub/switch
(d) To ensure that the employees in all departments can communicate with each other and
share data seamlessly for wired LAN, what type of connection should be established
between different floors? Ethernet cables
(e) Which protocol would be the most efficient for secure email communications within the
Village Training Centers? SMTP
