You are working on a network design and you determine that a new testing application requires multiple hosts that must be capable of sharing data between each host and a server running 10Mbps. Other departments use applications that require less than 3Mbps to the server. What should you recommend?
  1. Replace the 10Mbps Ethernet hub with a 100Mbps Ethernet hub.
  2. Install a router between departments.
  3. Use a bridge to break up collision domains.
  4. Use a switch with a 100Mbps uplink to the server and 10Mbps to the hosts.
Explanation
Answer: D - To get this design to work, you need to use a 100 Mbps switch with 10 Mbps available to each of the hosts on the network.

Key Takeaway: A prime requirement of network design is to use a network device that is above the expected bandwidth on the network. Since the application requires a bandwidth of 10 Mbps to communicate with the server, you would need a 100 Mbps switch. Make 10 Mbps available to every device on the network to ensure that all applications can be used.
