1. Propose an appropriate network topology for the smart office. The proposed topology for the smart office is a Star Topology . This topology is ideal for a three-story building as it ensures centralized management, simplifies troubleshooting, and provides scalability for future expansions. Each floor will have a dedicated switch connected to a central router, allowing seamless communication between devices. Each device has dedicated point to point only to a central controller (switch) Advantages: Only one link and one I/O port required per device. Less expensive than mesh topology. If one link fails, only that link is affected. Easy fault identification and fault isolation (as long as the hub is working). 2. Include a detailed network diagram showing connections between devices. GROUND FLOOR (MARKETING) The diagram depicts a star network topology. A central switch connects multiple PCs, a printer, and wireless access points. This configuration simplifies network management and tr...
