You're a network engineer and this is your first day with your new job. Your job is with the company Castle Entertainment. Castle Entertainment has been selling tv/movie memorabilia for many years and has made a truck load of money . The owner (who wishes to remain anonymous) has decided that now is right time to update his operations.

We pick up this story as you walk in the front door of the company full of optimism and nerves then you notice something is missing - you don't see any computers, printers, switches, cabling, routers or even a single plug socket on a wall. The entire floor is empty, not even the mandatory plant in sight. The owner (who still wishes to remain anonymous) suddenly appears carrying a single a sheet of paper in his right hand.

You exchange pleasantry handshakes with the owner (you found out his first name is Richard) then he hands you the sheet of paper. You stare at the sheet of paper and you suddenly realize what your first task entails.

You are required to design and build the company's new network from scratch.

As you begin to understand the enormity of your first task, one line on the sheet of paper catches your eye. The company will be operating on all the 3 floors of the building.

You compose yourself and you flip the sheet of paper to reveal in detail what Richard wants for his new company network.
