1 Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC t

1.  Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Both the client and the server will connect to their respective workgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 1,700 meters apart. They need to communicate at 500 Mbps. Your design should specify the transmission link between the switches.
2.  Add to your design in the previous question. Add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate with the server and need only 100 Mbps in transmission speed. Again, your design should specify the locations of switches and the transmission link between the switches.

Solution

Ans:

For transmission link between the switches,use Cat 5 to 7 cable. Gigabit ethernet travelling upto 1700 meters and has to communicate 500 Mbps over above mentioned transmission link that is cat 5 to 7. by above condition,surely the switch cannot be in appropriate center of the run. And most important is, gigabit network adapters used by the pc\'s.
