Question 3 options:

4Mbps ADSL link Switch A Switch B Switch C 100Mbps link 100Mbps link 100Mbps link Every switch has 48 100Mbps ports only. Every switch has 30 connected PCs Web and Email Server

Explanation / Answer

After six years, we will need 2 switches for one building and 2 switches for another. Because, each switch have 48 ports and we need 60 pcs to be connected in one building. And since one port is used for connection between the routers, we can have only 47 usable ports. So we need one more switch in the same building to connect the remaining systems. Similarly for the second building, we need another two switches. But we have only 3 switches to make the upgradation. So it will be impossible to make the upgradation.
