Building an enterprise network topology

In our base lab setup, we will simulate an enterprise network that has four switches and one router that act as a gateway to outside networks. Here is the IP schema that will be used for each node:

Node name
IP
GW
10.10.88.110
Switch1
10.10.88.111
Switch2
10.10.88.112
Switch3
10.10.88.113
Switch4
10.10.88.114

Our Python script (or Ansible playbook) will be hosted on an external Windows PC that connects to the management of each device.
