The network administrator at Netstack College has chosen Cisco to provide the routers on his network. Recall that there are six buildings on campus with 250 connections each in four buildings, 180 connections in the fifth building, and 80 connections in the sixth.
How many routers should he use?
Can one Cisco router perform all the IP subnetting required to manage the entire network? Or should multiple Cisco routers be used, perhaps one for each building?
Are there advantages to using a single router compared to multiple routers? Are there disadvantages?
