Analyzing the given Alpine industries configuration, we got to know that it consists of 3 buildings, which are approximately 900m apart.
The configuration of the 3 buildings is shown below:
(please see the attached file)
Each building is shown by a separate router, and the routers are connected together.
The ROUTER-1 represents administrative building of the Alpine industries
The ROUTER -2 represents manufacturing building of the Alpine industries
The ROUTER -3 represents shipping and warehousing building of the Alpine industries

The networking requirement of the industries is implemented by using router and different HUBS (one for each network).

The connection between the three routers can be done by using the bus topology, but in that case if there is a cable break between two buildings then that would amount to the loss of communication between the two pairs of buildings. So, we take an extra precaution and connect the switches in the star form. In this case, even if the there is a cable fault in between any building then the data transfer can take place via the third building. This is an important factor while designing any network configuration because we have to take care about the alternate path in case of any crisis.

Now, we are going to take into account the internal details of each building.

BUILDING-1 (Administrative):

We, are having 5 internal networks inside the building, so we will be using 5 Class C IP class addresses, one for each network.
1. EXECUTIVES:
The network address corresponding to ...
