Description: In this lab, you build an extended star network, in which the computers are connected in a physical star and a logical bus topology, and the computers form the outer arms of the extended star. The center of the extended star should be a device that creates one collision domain per port. Build the network with as much equipment as you have available, distributing computers evenly around the outer edges of the extended star. Draw the final topology and label the devices. If you lack equipment, you can simply draw the topology without building the physical network. Then answer the following questions: i. What type of device are the computers attached to? ii. What type of device is at the center of the extended star? iii. How many collision domains are in this network?
