Case Projects
Case Project 1
Routers increase performance on a network by segmenting large networks into smaller networks.
Routers keep traffic not meant for a segment off of that segment and routers do not forward broadcast
traffic. Thus, routers minimize collisions and broadcast traffic. Routers are best used on large networks
using routable protocols such as TCP/IP and IP/!P. Routers should not be used to increase network
performance on relati"ely small networks and/or networks using nonroutable protocols such as
#et$%&I.
Case Project 2
' bridge or a switch is more appropriate for relati"ely small networks such as !ampson(s. 'lso, a router
will not work with nonroutable protocols, which apparently !ampson is using. )ennifer is correct.
Case Project 3
0
CCNA Guide to Cisco Networking, Fourth Edition Chapter 2 Solutions
' brouter can operate at the *ata +ink layer like a bridge and the #etwork layer like a router. ,hen a
brouter recei"es packets based on a nonroutable protocol such as #et$%&I, the brouter makes
forwarding decisions based on the -'C address .layer /0. ,hen a brouter recei"es packets based on a
routable protocol such as TCP/IP, the brouter makes forwarding decisions based on the logical address
.layer 10.
Case Project 4
+isa is partially correct. 'n acti"e hub repeats the signal and is often called a multiport repeater. -oe,
howe"er, is technically correct. ' passi"e hub would not be considered a repeater. 2ther more
sophisticated hubs perform ad"anced functions not performed by repeaters. 'lso, although many other
de"ices boost the network signal and are therefore performing the function that repeaters do these other
de"ices do many more things and can(t be considered repeaters.
Case Project 5
;e will need to purchase enough access points to co-er the area he wants to pro-ide wireless
access in. *he access points will 'e wired into the switches and will 'e conigured with the
sa#e SS"%. *he pros or going wireless include #o'ility and also e3tension o the network
without -ery #any wires. *he cons include security, lower 'andwidth, and intererence
considerations.
