MIS102 DATA AND NETWORKING
Xerlasian university have the requirement to develop a new university network for the
expansion and setting up a second campus in Australia. A router is needed to be used for
connecting the second university network and enabling the users to exchange data. For
maintaining security a proxy server is needed to be used for establishing connection with the
main campus and access rights are needed to be defined to the users for accessing the network.
The access rights are defined by categorizing the user and identification of the usability needs
while accessing the network. A research is done on the available LAN technology for connecting
the new campus with the existing network of Xerlasian university. The network solution is
developed with the application of new technology and application of a proper addressing is used
for configuring the network device (Jiang et al., 2016). An examination is made on the available
network protocols and principles for maintaining access rights and connecting the users of the
university. A three tier architecture is used for the development of the network and an analysis is
made on the data distribution and architecture for its application and develop the network
solution. The existing topology of the network is evaluated and recommendation are provided for
the use of appropriate network device and develop the network.

The routers and the switches are needed to be configured with load balance for handling
the incoming request from different address and eliminate congestion and delay in the network.
The network topology had an impact on the communication and bandwidth needs and it is
essential to select the appropriate topology for expansion of network and improve proficiency
between the inter connected devices. An analysis is also needed to be made for the use of
appropriate cables for connecting the devices and have high availability of bandwidth such that
bottleneck situation can be avoided (Yu et al., 2017). The network is developed for connecting
the classroom, library, study hall and the network is developed in small manageable sub parts
such that the errors in the network can be easily troubleshoot and the whole network does not
faced downtime. The interface of the router is divided into sub interface according to the number
of VLAN and the departments for the development of the logical framework of the network. For
connecting the new campus with the existing network and analysis is made on the WAN
protocols and topology and WAN link is used for connecting the remote campus. Different
technology such as frame relay and ATM is used for connecting the remote campus and a secure
connection is established with the site (Yao et al., 2016). A campus area network topology is
selected and the local area network is spanned to form a wide area network. The scalability and
availability of the network is also considered for the expansion of the network and a list of the
resources are needed to be created for management of accessibility to the different users. The
routers and the switch configuration is secured with the application of password and encryption
such that it cannot be access to modify the configuration and leaving the network vulnerable to
different network threats. Proactive routing is needed to be used such that the response time of
the network can be minimized on the increase in traffic and load on the network.
