Question 1
So, you have a laptop which will be connected in a branch office. So, you are working remotely. Let's say you go to a branch office, right? Plug in your laptop physically into your switch. Cable it up. I'm keeping it simple, taking wireless off. So, after you connected to the network, say your laptop had to download some patches from your central server, which is present in your enterprise, right? Call it, like, update.mycompany.com. It's going to connect and download some patches. This is the use case. This is the scenario that you are using here. So, basically, let's dive deep and go into some questions on networking. Given this, can you run me through the events that happen in the network from the time your laptop is connected and till the updates are downloaded?
