Nt1310 Unit 4.1 Case Study

Exercise 4.1. Why are standards so important for NICs, connectors, and media? The NIC works at the physical and Data Link Layer only and does not use TCP or IP those are programs that are on your computer. Standards are put in place to make everything work good and ease. They are also developed to allow teaching. Without having standards there is chaos, in the computer world chaos means everyone goes back to using typewriters and mailing things through the post office.
Exercise 4.1.2
The voltage for registering a bit of 1 on Ethernet can be as low as 2.5 volts or even 1 volt. Why is this so low when the capacity for transmitting electricity on the copper wire is so high? Because the voltage used to transmit data needs only be high enough for the
To get the best data transmission from R1 to S1 and S2, I would recommend using just using UTP which would maximize data transfer without braking the bank.

Exercise 4.3.4
Using the description of Network B and Figure 4- 5, create a cabling solution for this network that meets the owner’s needs. Choose whether you want to connect the three routers in full mesh and explain your choice. Justify your choices.
Create a cabling solution for this network that meets the owner’s needs.
Well since cost is not an issue with this build, then I would recommend fiber running the long distances because that would give you the fastest transfer possible over the long distances. From that point I would switch over to coax thicknet because of the durability and reliability to provide constant, steady throughput.

Exercise 4.3.5
Using the description of Network C and Figure 4- 6, create a cabling solution for this network that meets the owner’s needs. Justify your choices.
