Designing Telecommunication Network using VLAN with File and Web Server Communication

Project Scope
This project aims to design the four branches of telecommunication network using VLAN and
communicate with file and web server
Project Requirements
We need to design four branches of telecommunication network. These network should be
configured via DHCP server with VLAN. In Melbourne branch, we need to design the VTP configuration.
The remote web and file server can communicate it
Network Design Strategy
We need to design these network with cost efficiency and good network traffic also. Network
admin should allocate additional IP which is required the number of host. These additional IP is used for
future upgradation of network

Network Design
Justification
The project requires to configure VLAN, VTP and DHCP configuration. So I used the VLAN for four
branches of telecommunication network instead of four routers. Here I implement only one switch for
VTP in Melbourne LAN. I designed the number IP address which is greater than required hosts. This
network can easily upgrade in future
