Home Network Design:-

Create a MS Word compatible file named

Use MS Visio or any free diagramming software like draw.io to create a simple home network diagram. Create the network specified in the assignment. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A DIAGRAM OF YOUR PERSONAL HOME NETWORK!

Start with a house. You'll need to enlarge the house (you will learn how to do this by reading the software's help topics or by experimentation) to be able to put all "inside" devices inside the house graphic. You may substitute a large rectangle to represent the house -- and place all "inside" devices inside the rectangle. This house must be labeled Your Name house So if my name were Parker Posey, it would be labeled Parker Posey's house.

The home network you are to design consists of the following network devices inside the house:

One of these network devices is meant to be connected to the Internet.

Additionally, outside of the house, you need:

Label ALL devices to make it clear what each one is.

All devices (everything other than the person and the house) must be connected to at least one other device, using one of the following:

Wired and wireless connections must touch the symbols, graphics, or specified alternatives at both ends of the connection. Any single line (wired or wireless) may not connect more than two devices - use a separate line for each device connection.

NOTE: Most shapes for the devices should be available in your drawing program. If you can't find a particular shape for a device (e.g. cell tower) use a reasonable shapes (e.g. triangle) instead.
