Canada.com has 250 networked computers and six servers. It uses a star topology wired network to reach employees' offices, with a bus interconnecting three floors in its office building. Because of a staggering influx of Internet business, the network administrator's task is to boost network performance and availability as much as possible. You build an extended star network in which the computers are connected to a physical star and a logical bus topology; the computers form the outer arms of the extended star. The center of the extended star should be a device that creates one collision domain per port. Build the network with the available equipment's, distributing computers evenly around the outer edges of the extended star. Draw the final topology and label the devices.

Answer the following questions:

·       To what type of device are the computers attached?

 

·       What type of device is at the center of the extended star?

 

·       How many collision domains are in this network?
