Answer 1

a) They gave 3 questions, we have to design a network with all the 3 network devices mentioned i.e server, router, and switch.

Here, I configured each network address to all the networks as shown below in the picture

It is the combination of two topologies Star and Bus.

The configured network addresses are like this 192.168.4.0, 192.168.3.0., 192.168.2.0, and 192.168.1.0 for each different network. The server has also configured with IP 192.168.1.2.

Here there are 4 interfaces for a router and all the interfaces are configured with IP address using CLI command

***********

int g0/0

IP address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

no shutdown

end

***********

In this way, all the interfaces are configured with the IP addresses.
