Please help me illustrate on how to design a network with these given devices/mediums?
1 DSL
2 servers (net, print)
6 switch/hub (16 ports)
95 clients
NOTE:
2 separate networks
example: Bldg. 1 & Bldg. 2
Lab 1 & Lab 2
Please help me. I'm so confused. :(
Thank you.
Just make a diagram/instructions with the following devices. I will put the router afterwards.

1. If the switches don't have a separate uplink, you are going to be short ports. With no uplink, you need to use one of the switch ports to link either back to the router or daisy chain it to another switch. So that means 1 less per switch, which leave you with 90 ports for 95 clients.You could do this with 1 router. (you could use more)
So start minimum, 1 router. You probably want a server on each side, so each building can print.
So for each building:
mainrouter-uplink-switch-switch-switch (1 network)
and you hang all your clients and server off the switches.
The second building exactly the same except you use a different router port defined on a different network.
So the router has 3 legs. The first is to interact with the DSL, and 2 for the 2 networks.
For instance, the DSL can be 192.168.0.0/24, net 1 is 192.168.1.0/24 and net 2 is 192.168.2.0/24.
