ADVANCED NETWORK DESIGN
Introduction
The report is prepared for an IT institute for connecting the different floors of the campus building
and prepare a scalable design of the network. The budget required for developing the network
framework is estimated with the identification of the hardware that are required for the
development of the network. The number of Pcs that should be installed in the labs and areas that
should be covered for creating the network should be analysed for the development of the network.
The needs of the current standards that should be followed for the network development is
analysed and maintained throughout the development process for eliminating errors in the
configuration of the network.
Project Scope
The main scope identified for the developing the network solution for the IT institute are listed
below:
 Identification of the area that should be covered by the network and the number of users
using the network solution developed for the institute.
 Identification of the types of cables that should be used for interconnecting the devices with
each other
 Creating a detailed network diagram with subnetting the network into smaller segment for
increasing the efficiency of the network.
 Creating a prototype of the network in a network simulator for the identification of the
errors and the barriers faced for configuration of the network and eliminate the errors in the
preliminary stage of development of the network solution.
 To keep extra number of IP address reserved such that it can be used in future for expansion
of the network without adding extra cost or reconfiguring thee current configuration of the
network device.
Detailed Network Diagrams
The network is designed for the development of the network solution for the It institute and connect
the four classroom, library and the computer labs with each other for enabling transfer of data
packets between the PCs connected in the network. The wireless access point is installed in the
network for enabling the user to connect their handheld devices with the wireless access point. The
area of coverage of the wireless signal should be analysed for deployment of the wireless access
point. The network device are placed according to the structure of the building and the wireless
access point is secured with the application of WPA PSK2 for limiting the access of the wireless
access point to the illegal users to reach the different points of the network. The network is
subnetted for reducing the wastage of the IP address and reducing the congestion of the network
such that the efficiency of the network is improved. The configuration of the network is done in cisco
packet tracer and the hardware that is used for the development of the network is given in the
report for the estimation of the requirement of the project. The router is also configured with IP
telephony such that the network supports the VOIP service and the cost of communication in the
network can be reduced. Serial connection is used for interconnecting the two routers and enabling
communication between the two floors of the network. A firewall is used connecting with the ISP
router such that the unknown sources cannot be reached the internal network of the campus.
