Complete the following exercises for the three case study companies. You may wish to refer back to Chapter 4, “Pre-Design Procedures,” to review the complete overview of each company. Once you have completed these exercises, you may compare your solutions with those in the back of the book. Realize that even though your answers may differ from those, that does not necessarily mean one is right and the other is wrong.
Since Have-A-Seat is just installing their TCP/IP network, you have the opportunity to recommend a routing protocol. Would you recommend distance-vector or link-state routing protocols (or even static routing)? Which protocol?
Have-A-Seat will have both Ethernet and Token Ring at the company’s Atlanta headquarters. Will you need to configure bridging between Ethernet and Token Ring? Why or why not?
Case study exercises for MPS Construction’s routing protocols were covered in Chapter 8.
Scott has informed you that he will be running TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk traffic all across his WAN.
