Your friend Susan owns an auto dealership and is upgrading the network in the offices. She asks you to help monitor the project.

Research the common network architecture devices and create a list of the devices your friend should expect to see in the "parts list" from the company that is completing the design and install (e.g., routers, gateways, switches, and hubs). Include a description of what each component does and how it interacts with other components.

Each device on your list is available in a different quality and price. In a minimum of 175 words, share with the class which devices you would suggest to your friend and why.
