networking

Explain the kind of networking device required to create such an environment and why it’s the only choice for this particular kind of networking implementation.
The device required for the creation of this environment is switch (fast Ethernet), cable (fast Ethernet) and the end devices such as server and workstations.
This devices is are crucial for supporting high speed performance, an example of this is the switches compared to hubs, switch has the upper hand in performance because data request does not broadcast request to find out if this workstation needs it or not because switch distinguish the workstation that need the data and workstation that don’t need them.
In the picture you can see that I have 5 switches 2 sever and 40 imaginary workstations. The 40 workstation is divided by 4 switches consisting 10 workstation/switch and the 5th switch is connected to the 2 severs and the 4 switches is connected to the 5th switch. This setup is expensive because you have a separate switch for the 2 server but this setup will shorten the delay of data. Because the entire 4 switch is connected to the 5th switch which is for the servers so this means the approach is not linear or switch connect to another switch and so on until it will reach the server.
