Network requirements

A small-sized company requires that any two nodes in its small office network communicate with each
other, and that the network devices automatically adapt themselves to any topology change so as to
reduce the work of manual maintenance.
In this case, RIP can implement communication between any two nodes.

Network diagram

According to the network requirements, the network topology is designed as shown in Figure 3-1.
