Describe a deep and systematic understanding of Computer networking principles, models, and technologies.
Question Three
Suppose there is a network with four switches connected in a cyclic fashion where each switch has port interfaces of different bandwidths and hence have different port cost. The following table provides information about the bandwidth and the cost of each link. Find a Spanning Tree Path Cost Value for switch 4 where switch 1 is considered as the root switch.
| Bandwidth | Cost |
| 10 Mbit | 100 |
| 100 Mbit | 19 |
| 1000 Mbit | 4 |
Describe a deep and systematic understanding of Computer networking principles, models and technologies.
