58. You have been contracted to build a network for a multimedia development firm that currently uses a 10-Mbps Ethernet network. The company requires a high-bandwidth network for the multimedia team, which constantly views and manipulates large files across the network. The company is expecting moderate growth. You are to come up with a solution to support the high bandwidth applications and growth potential of this company.
Required result:
�¡ Increase network bandwidth.
Optional result:
�¡ Support future growth.
�¡ Improve server response time.
Proposed solution:
�¡ Install CAT 5 UTP cable in a star topology
with the existing hub.
�¡ Upgrade the workstation�fs adapter cards to
support 100 Mbps.
�¡ Increase the amount of RAM in the server.
The proposed solution ___________.
a. achieves the required result and both optional
results
b. does not achieve the required result but
achieves both the optional results
c. does not achieve the required result but does
achieve one of the optional results
d. achieves the required result but cannot
achieve either of the optional results
e. achieves neither the required result nor either
of the optional results
The answer is E- I don't know why but when I submitted my answer as A the teacher said it was wrong and the correct answer was E
The proposed solution for the network upgrade includes installing CAT 5 UTP cable in a star topology with the existing hub, upgrading the workstation's adapter cards to support 100 Mbps, and increasing the amount of RAM in the server.
To determine if the proposed solution achieves the required result and optional results, let's consider each result:
1. Required Result: Increase network bandwidth.
- Upgrading the workstation's adapter cards to support 100 Mbps will increase the network bandwidth from the existing 10 Mbps Ethernet network. This satisfies the required result.
2. Optional Results:
a. Support future growth.
- Installing CAT 5 UTP cable in a star topology allows for flexibility and scalability as new devices can easily be added to the network without disrupting the existing connections. This satisfies the optional result of supporting future growth.
b. Improve server response time.
- Increasing the amount of RAM in the server can improve its performance and response time, resulting in improved server response time. This satisfies the optional result of improving server response time.
Based on the analysis, the proposed solution achieves the required result (increase network bandwidth) and both optional results (support future growth and improve server response time).
Therefore, the answer is: a. Achieves the required result and both optional results.
