Question 1:
Suppose ABC Company have an office in Lahore. It has currently 50 computers. Now,
Management is going to buy a new building in front of old building. They want to extend
their network between these two buildings with 50 new computers. :

Answer the questions given below in scenario described above. (5 * 2 = 10 Marks)

(i) If they can afford good budget, which cable will be suitable for networking. (You
have to provide two best options. Option 1 has higher priority than Option 2)

1. Twisted Paired cable has higher priority for the above setup
2. Optic fiber cable is also fit for the network but is less compatible

(ii) Which network Topology will be better in building network in new building.

Star topology will be better for the building network.

(iii) Which network Topology will be better in building network between two
buildings.

Tree topology will be better for building network.

(iv) Which network device(s) will be used to connect two networks?

Router, Switch and Bridge typed devices will be used.

(v) If we use wireless network between two buildings, what will be drawbacks or
risks? (you have to describe two points)
The following interruption will occur during

1. Limited Access
2. Not Much Secure
3. Interruption
4. Low Speed
5. High Cost
Q # 2: Consider following network Topology and answer the questions given below. (5)

A B

C
H

G D

F E

(i) Identify type/name of topology used in the figure above?

Mash Topology

(ii) If we have to decrease network cost then which type of measure (s) / action
(s) we must take. (Remember the figure given above while answering this
question)

If the network is convert into star topology the cost will be low as compared to
mash topology.
