C844 Task 1 Revised Questions {Answered Correctly! }

A. Describe the network topology you found when running Nmap. Include screenshots as evidence of running Nmap. In order to see the network topology, I used the Zenmap version of nmap to run the scan on the network. As seen in the image below, the network is set up in a star topology. The central device in the star network is host 192.168.29.2, with 9 devices connecting to it. All the devices are under the 192.168.27.x subnet, so for simplicity I will refer to the device by the ID of the last octet of the IP address for the remainder of the report. The scan also shows the probable operating system of each device within the network. Hosts 10, 11, 12, 15, and 17 are most likely running Windows, hosts 14, 17, 20 are likely running a Linux OS, and host 13 is most likely a VPN gateway
