OVERVIEW OF INTERNETWORKING
Project Scope:
The main scope of the project is associated with the devolving a new network for a primary school that
would use by the schools own users along with the guests who would be visiting the school occasionally.
The daily users is around 50 whereas the guest who would be visiting the school would be not more
than 10. The main aim of crating this network is for the purpose of providing a limited access to the
guest users and to provide a full access of the network to the daily users. The guest’s users would be
restricted to the usage of the FTP Server only.
Project requirements:
The following listed items are the major requirements of the new network that is to be developed:
 The new network that would be developed would be consisting of a FTP server and this server
would be accessed by the guest users whereas the other portions of the network would remain
blocked for them and for that a separate LAN would be used that would be utilized by the guest
users.
 Along with the usage of a LAN for the guest users, another LAN needs to be included in the new
network which would be used by the daily users in order have a full access of the network. This
network would remain blocked for the guest users.
 In the new network there is also a need of including other kind of servers that would be helping
all the users in doing their daily works.
 This Blocking of the guest users is generally done in order to securing the varios kind kind of
sensitive data that are present inside the network.
 General Network components which manly includes the switches and routers are to be
implemented in the new network which are to be configured in order to control the access to
the network. The FTP server is also to be configured.
 The new network would have two subnets for two kind of users. One of the subnet would be
used by the guest network only whereas the other subnet is to be used by the daily users. The
subnet used by the guest would be having a restricted access whereas the another subnet
would be for the user which would be providing a full access to the network.

Access Point
Certain assumption have been made while thinking about creating the new network. This assumptions
mainly includes the following:
 The first thing that is assumed is that all the daily users who would be using the new network
need to be present in the same building. The daily users’ needs to be present in different
sections of the building but the building should be the same.
 The second assumption can be considered to be similar to the first assumption but the only
difference that lies between this two assumptions is that, the guest users are considered are
considered in this case and similarly the guests needs to be present in the same building.
 Thirdly it is assumed that there exists the availability of a high end internet speed for the
network and for this reason the service provider needs to be chosen accordingly.
 The last assumption that is made is that the new network which is to be developed is associated
with the usage of the Dynamic IP addressing and by this it generally means that there should
exists a proxy server or a DHCP in the network, for the internet connection that is to be used.
Additionally the new network would be consisting of other servers that are to be placed in
different sections of the building.
Security Configuration
Conclusion
The design of the network is created in Boson Netsim and for the configuration of the network a cisco
2811 router is used and it is configured by creating three separate vlan on the fast Ethernet 0/0
interface. It is also configured with DHCP address such that when the vlan are created in the switch the
device are allocated with the IP address automatically. The layer three switch is used and configured as a
server such that it can be used for management of the vlan from a single point. The layer two switch

that are used for the distribution and it is configured as client for automatically fetching the details of
the vlan configured in the upper level switch. For increasing the security of the network the access
control list configuration is used in the core switch and applied in the vlan 30 for restricting one of the
vlan to connect with the other vlan.
