The city of Maple, Oregon, which owns and operates its own power utility, built a fiber-optic network to monitor power meters at residents homes. The network is Mapleland Fiber Network (MFN). Because MFN had more capacity than was needed to monitor meters, the city expanded its services to offer access to the network for city businesses. The businesses use the network to communicate with each other and to access the Internet. At the MFN head-end, that is located with the city government offices, three routers and WAN links connect to the Internet for use by the city. The businesses on MFN also use these resources to reach the Internet. In addition to the business service, MFN also offers cable modem service to homes. A cable modem router at the MFN head-end connects to the fiber-optics network. In the city neighborhoods, hybrid fiber-coax nodes bring coax cabling to each street and into the homes for cable modem Internet access. The MFN backbone consists of a fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet network that runs through the city in a ring topology. The fiber-optic ring connects the hybrid fiber-coax nodes that bring coax cabling to each neighborhood. Also connected to the ring are six data routers. Each router links one or more Maple businesses to MFN via simple point-to-point connections. At the business, the fiber-optic network enters the building and connects to a media converter. A UTP cable connects to the media converter and typically to a 1000-Mbps Ethernet switch. The switch links the business computers and servers in a star topology via UTP cabling.

Use Packet Tracer to design a network map that shows the topology of the MFN and how the main components are connected to the business side. In the diagram, include the three routers at the head-end with each connected to the ISP. Diagram the fiber ring including the six data routers. Include at least one point-to-point connection to a business that feeds through a media converter (router) to an Ethernet switch. Label all devices and media; submit a screen shot of the diagram.
