Assignment: Designing a Network Topology
You are the network manager of a company that has grown from 20 employees to 200 employees in 12 months. Year 2 projected growth is estimated to be 400 additional employees located at a remote location. The aggressive growth has brought about some unique challenges and opportunities.
