1.2.4.5 Packet Tracer Network Representations

without counting the two clouds, how many icons in the topology represent intermediary devices *multiple connections leading to them+

11 icons in the topology represent intermediary devices, with multiple connections leading to them.

Without entering into the Internet cloud or Intranet cloud, how many icons in the topology represent endpoint devices (only one connection leading to them)?

15 icons in the topology represent end point devices with only one connection leading to them

How many different types of media connections are used in this network topology?

3 different types of media connections are used in this network

How many end devices are not desktop computers?

8 devices are not desktop computers

Explain the difference between a LAN and a WAN. Give examples of each

LAN also called local are network is a network infrastructure that provides access to users and end devices in a small geographical area, which can be an enterprise, home network or small business network owned and managed by an individual or IT department. Ex business network A WAN shorth for wide area network is a network designed to provide access to other networks over a wide geographical area is typically owned and managed by a telecommunications or service provider. Ex Comcast Internet provider

List at least two functions of intermediary devices

Two functions of intermediary devices are to regenerate and retransmit data signals. also they permit or deny flow of data based on security rules

List at least two criteria for choosing a network media type

Two important criteria's to con sider are the distance the media can carry a signal, also the speed at which data needs to be transmitted trough the network media

List the intermediary device categories.

Wireless Routers, Multi Layers Switch, Lan Switch

a. In Packet Tracer, only the Server-PT device can act as a server. Desktop or Laptop PCs cannot act as a server. Based on your studies so far, explain the client-server model.

laptops and desktops are labeled as clients they only request information, from dedicated computers called servers which are designed to handle information request from clients.
