134 Ralph has been hired to connect three Local Area Networks (LANs) together with redundant paths that form a fault-tolerant backbone. The LANs reside on different floors in the same building and are approximately 600 meters apart. Each LAN is currently configured in a star topology using twisted pair cabling. Each LAN includes wall plates and rack-mounted patch panels and switches. Building and fire codes allow cables to run through existing risers, ceilings, and walls, but a 50,000-watt radio station occupies one of the floors between the LANs. Which topology, cable type, and installation method are best suited for this network?Star topology, fiber-optic cabling, and internal installationStar topology, coaxial cabling, and external installationMesh topology, fiber-optic cabling, and external installationBus topology, twisted pair cabling, and internal installationMesh topology, fiber-optic cabling, and internal installationStar topology, twisted pair cabling, and external installation
135 Alice is a network consultant who has been contracted to evaluate a network design created many years ago, to determine if the design is still viable. The network will support 20 workstations, scattered throughout the building, to run an inventory database application. The two most distant computers are 150 meters apart. The primary goal for the network design is to connect all 20 workstations to a single LAN running at 10 megabits per second (Mbps). The two secondary goals are to provide sufficient fault tolerance for a single cable break to occur without affecting the entire network and to provide resistance to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by machinery in the building. The earlier design calls for a Thin Ethernet LAN with all of the computers connected to a single coaxial cable segment. Which of the following statements about the proposal is true?The solution achieves neither the primary goal nor either of the secondary goals.The solution achieves the primary goal but neither of the secondary goals.The solution achieves the primary goal and one of the secondary goals.The solution achieves the primary goal and both of the secondary goals.
136 Ed is a network consultant who has been contracted to design the network for a new manufacturing plant. The plant consists of two buildings 150 meters apart: an office with 20 computers and a manufacturing facility that has 30 computers. The two most distant computers at the site are 225 meters apart. Ed's design calls for a Gigabit Ethernet network using fiber-optic cable. On receiving the proposal, the client asks Ed to justify the additional labor and expense of installing fiber-optic cable instead of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). Which of the following is not a valid reason for choosing fiber optic over UTP for this project?The 225-meter distance between the two most distant computers exceeds Ethernet's maximum cable segment length for UTP.Only fiber-optic cable can keep the two buildings electrically isolated.Fiber-optic cable is completely resistant to any electromagnetic interference generated by the equipment in the manufacturing plant.Fiber-optic cable provides a greater degree of tolerance to cable breaks than UTP.
