Suppose you are working as a network administrator for a large organization that has
multiple departments spread across several buildings. The company wants to connect
all the departments and buildings to its network infrastructure.
a) Which device(s) would you use to connect the computers within a single
department?
b) Which device(s) would you use to connect the departments within a building?
c) Which device(s) would you use to connect the buildings together?
d) Which device(s) would you use to connect the company's network to the
internet?
Explain the differences between among each of these devices and why you chose
them for each scenario.
