Summary
The purpose of this report is to analyse the requirements of the network and identify the VPN
service parts being used in the existing network infrastructure of AgriDigital and discusses about the
scope and limitations of the project. First the report talks about the project scope after which the
limitations of the network is described. Following this the report goes on to provide the summary of
requirements related to the network and the VPN services being used. After that the report enters
the solution design section where the logical network design and the physical network design is
provided and discussed along with diagrams. Then the report speaks about the networking
topologies that were used to implement the network and VPN solution. Thereafter the IP address
allocation is detailed with relevant IPs of sub networks given in tabular format. After giving the IP
address allocation and listing explaining the method the security features and policies get discussed
followed by the redundancy and failover plans. Then after talking about implementation of VPN
services the report ends with concluding notes.

Introduction
The following report analyses the network based requirements of the company AgriDigital
and proceeds to identify also the VPN service parts and discusses about the scope and limitations of
the project. This report begins by talking about the project scope after which the limitations of the
network is described. Following this the report goes on to provide the summary of requirements
related to the network and the VPN services being used. After that the report enters the solution
design section where the logical network design and the physical network design is provided and
discussed along with diagrams [4]. Then the report speaks about the networking topologies that
were used to implement the network and VPN solution. Thereafter the IP address allocation is
detailed with relevant IPs of sub networks given in tabular format. After giving the IP address
allocation and listing explaining the method the security features and policies get discussed followed
by the redundancy and failover plans. Then after talking about implementation of VPN services the
report ends with concluding notes.
Scope of Project
The project aims to improve the existing network infrastructure of AgriDigital while keeping
in mind long term network performance evolution so as to optimize the present capability and
capacity of the network. The purpose this process is about accommodating organizational expansion
and ability to support more modern and complex methods of communication through the network
for the intended users.
To perform the above task, acquiring and implementation of new networking equipment is
required. These equipment should then be installed, build as per requirements for configuring a new
network which needs to be integrated to existing network.
The resulting network should include both layer 2 as also layer 3 services. The
implementation and configuration of the network must involve internet and intranet related
services.
Security for the network needs to be ensured by maintaining a server farm which is to
include Web servers, FTP Servers, Email servers and the several DNS servers.
Wireless Local Area Network or WLAN services needs to be set up to support the portable
devices that need to be connected to the network [9]. The security mechanism for such network
connection also needs to be configured.
