Consider a smart home setup, where a star topology network is employed. At the center of this network, there exists a powerful smart home hub, controlling all connected devices. Five different nodes (computers) represent various smart devices distributed throughout the home network. Mentioned below are the labeling of the topology design. Central Hub: Smart home controller in the living room (should be labelled with your vuid) Node 1: Smart thermostat in the hallway Node 2: Smart security camera system around the exterior Node 3: Smart refrigerator in the kitchen Node 4: Smart lighting system in the bedroom Node 5: Smart speaker system in the home office This star topology network enables seamless communication between all devices and the central hub, facilitating efficient automation and control of the smart home environment. Each node is connected to the central hub; hence it can interact independently, enhancing convenience, comfort, and security for the residents. In this scenario, you must design and structure the Star Topology with the proper device configuration using the Cisco Packet Tracer. You can configure each node in your smart home-based network with the following static IP addresses: Central Hub: Smart home controller in the living room (should be labeled with your VUID) Node 1: 192.168.1.3 Node 2: 192.168.1.4 Node 3: 192.168.1.6 Node 4: 192.168.1.9 Node 5: 192.168.1.11 Note: You must submit your solution as a Packet Tracer file.

Solution
I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to create or manipulate files in Cisco Packet Tracer. However, I can guide you on how to do it. Here are the steps:
- Open Cisco Packet Tracer.
- Click on the "End Devices" option in the bottom-left corner and drag the "Generic" option to the workspace. This will be your central hub.
- Repeat the process to add five more devices. These will be your nodes.
- Click on the "Connections" option (it looks like a lightning bolt) and select the "Automatically Choose Connection Type" option.
- Click on the central hub and then on each node to connect them.
- Click on each node and select the "Desktop" tab. Then click on "IP Configuration".
- Enter the corresponding IP address for each node as mentioned in your question.
- Save your work.
Remember, the central hub should be labeled with your VUID.
