This activity uses variables that are randomly generated each time the activity is open or the “Reset Activity” button is clicked. Although the tables below show device names mapping to specific address schemes, the names and addresses are not bound together. For example, a student could get the device names shown in Scenario 1 with the addressing shown in Scenario 2. In addition, one of three versions of the topology will be presented to the student.
