elastickskunk,

Is there an existing network?

 

If this is for CCNA homework, hasn't your instructor shown you any examples?

 

yes but its about 10 years old we are talking coax cables and token ring in one building and the other building opposite a main road is not networked

 

Hi mike, well I didnt explain myself very well, I can have a crack at the topology and connections but its got to be structured in a report to the company so I dont know where to start regarding the layout, costings, specs, explanation of the network connections and justifications including alternate upgrades.

 

elasticskunk,

10Base2 coax or 10Base5 coax?

 

10 base 5

 

From what I remember of my CCDA studies, there's some good examples in the CCDA books of how to propose a network design to a customer... of course, it may have changed a lot since then...

 

elasticskunk,

How many computers/hosts on that network?

 

they had networks in the 1920s?........will google see if anything turns up

 

only a few 5-8

 

elasticskunk,

How many computers/hosts on the token ring network?

 

the token ring network is located in the same building upstairs, 19 systems running at 16Mbs one is connected to the interent

 

elasticskunk,

I did this a little while ago for my CCNA, and as I recall, I first did a Diagram of the existing topology and a section on how it currently was configured.

Then I had a network diagram of how I would update it. a sheet of the cost of the material that needs to be bought for the upgrade. and a section on why i chose the approach I did to improve the network.

Hope thats of some help

 

elasticskunk,

Why does the number vary?

 

elasticskunk,

How is one system connected to both the token ring network as well as the internet?
