| Instructions: |
| · You must submit two separate copies (one Word file and one PDF file) using the Assignment Template on Blackboard via the allocated folder. These files must not be in compressed format.
· It is your responsibility to check and make sure that you have uploaded both the correct files. · Zero mark will be given if you try to bypass the SafeAssign (e.g. misspell words, remove spaces between words, hide characters, use different character sets, convert text into image or languages other than English or any kind of manipulation). · Email submission will not be accepted. · You are advised to make your work clear and well-presented. This includes filling your information on the cover page. · You must use this template, failing which will result in zero mark. · You MUST show all your work, and text must not be converted into an image, unless specified otherwise by the question. · Late submission will result in ZERO mark. · The work should be your own, copying from students or other resources will result in ZERO mark. · Use Times New Roman font for all your answers. |

Question One
A company is working on a project with three physically connected groups (LAN). To speed up the project process, the administrator needs to move two engineers from one group to another group. The network technician who works on ‘rewiring’ is not available. What is the best solution for this issue?
- Explain your solution in your own words. [1 mark]
- List two features of your suggested solution. [2 marks]

| Learning Outcome(s):
Develop the ability to outline layered approach for networking and the physical layer & associated hardware and software integration.
Explain network protocols including Transport Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.
Demonstrate protocol configuration, network-addressing schemes and analyze packet transmission for the Local and Wide Area Networks.

Question Four
The following figure of the network consists of four automatous systems (ASs) each running RIP as an internal routing protocol. Moreover, iBGP and eBGP are used as border gateway protocols. AS4 is connected to an external network called “x.” By carefully examining the figure below, answer the following questions:
- Which protocol is used to tell router 1b about network x? iBGP, eBGP, RIP or OSPF and why?
- Which protocol is used to tell router 2b about network x? iBGP, eBGP, RIP or OSPF and why?

Question Five
A transport-layer protocol, like a network-layer protocol, can provide two types of services, connectionless and connection-oriented. Explain in your own words:
- The nature of each service at the transport layer. [2 marks]
- How these services at the transport layer is different from the ones at the network. [1 mark]
