A PCI port is available in either 32 bit or 64 bit depending on the size of the port on the motherboard, as a 64 bit PCI port is longer. A 64 bit port will support a 32 bit card however a 32 bit port cannot support a 64 bit PCI card. The sizes and specifications of PCI cards are found in figure 7 (Annex A). The PCI…

Subsequently, AAE decided to integrate the networks to simplify the network topology because complicated network designs often leave gaps in security. Incidentally, the simpler network also improves network efficiency...and simplicity the network topology. Thus, I use the Cisco Enterprise Campus…
