Suppose a network project in which three (or four) enterprises in separate cities have to be connected in order to exchange information. That is, every company's personal computers (PCs) must be able to connect with one another. To do this, you must first build up every company's local area networks (LANs).

Use Cisco Packet Trace to construct a specific company's LAN. In the simulation program, all networking equipment including such switches and routers must be included. Just one sample device from each subnet should be shown as an end device, coupled with a written comment indicating the total number of devices on that subnet.

Company 1: There have been 200 people in total, divided into 4 departments: 80 in the engineering department, 50 in production, 50 in marketing, & 20 in the administrative office. This corporation has a pool of IP addresses spanning from 216.244.176.0 to 216.244.183.255, with 216.244.183.254 allocated for the WAN link's end point.
