1. Network Media
XYZ Corp. is planning a new network. Engineers in the design shop must be connected to the accountants and salespeople in the front office, but all routes between the two areas must traverse the shop floor, where arc welders and metal-stamping equipment create potent amounts of EMI and RFI. Both the engineering and the front office areas will use 100BaseT (twisted-pair Ethernet), how might you interconnect those two areas? Justify your answers
2. Standards
Some say that one of the great problems in networking is the lack of enforceable standards, so that the equipment of any manufacturer can work with any other manufacturer "off the shelf". Do you agree? Justify your answers
