All about Leasing Equipment

The Busicorp network is currently made up of two unconnected network segments. One segment is wired as a physical bus topology using 10Base2 and the other is wired as a logical Token Ring network. The company has leased additional office space on the same floor as its current offices and is expanding, adding 40 additional computers. You need to design the wired network topology for the new network segment and identify options for connecting the existing network segments.
1. What should you use as the physical topology for the new network segment?
2. What should you use as the logical topology?
3. What hardware will be needed in the computers to connect to the new network segment?
4. What connection equipment, if any, will be needed on the network to connect the computers?
5. What would be needed to connect the new network segments to each of the old network segments and allow them to communicate as one logical network for routing purposes?
6. What would be needed to have each network segment treated as a separate network for routing purposes?
7. What would you have to do if you wanted each of the old network segments to use the same network design as the new segment?
8. How could you justify upgrading the physical bus network?
9. How could you justify upgrading the logical Token Ring network?

That´s a really old case study (REALLYYY OLD, hard to find 10Base2 or Token Ring now days)…

1.- Star
2.-
3.- ethernet 10/100 network adapters
4.- Switches
5.- Router
6.- VLANS
7.- change all the cables, and ethernet adapters
8.- Old, bandwidth limitations, collisions, etc…
9.- Old, bandwidth limitations , no scalable
