As a graduate network engineer, you are tasked with building a small test network (which is physically separate from your employer’s real network). The network will be used for testing the performance and security of Internet applications and protocols your employer is developing. The requirements are: 1. A switched Ethernet LAN with three computers. 2. Another switched Ethernet LAN with two computers. 3. The two switched Ethernet LANs connected together via a 1 Gb/s Ethernet point-to-point WAN link. 4. All three IP networks are using IPv4 with a /24 network mask. 5. The equipment available is: 2 x 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switches; 2 x 2-port routers; 5 x PCs; multiple LAN cables. Ver mais
