2VIRTUAL NETWORKING
Introduction:
This report has been mainly associated with discussing the creation of a medium-sized
enterprise for the purpose of connecting each and every department of an organization so as to
improve the current capacity of the organization so as to accommodate the future growth. The
report documents all the technologies which can be applied so as to develop the new solution. The
report also consists of the scope as well as the limitations of the network along with the
requirements like the software and the hardware which are to be used for the purpose of
developing the network. Besides this, the logical design along with the physical design and the
network topologies has also been developed along with an IP address which has been created for
each of the department [1]. The security measures are deployed so as to increase eth security of the
network and to implement the VPN service so as to allow the users in getting themselves connected
to the resources in the network.
Scopes and Limitations:
The major scopes which have identified so as to develop the project include the following:
 The existing network that the organization is having is to be integrated with the new devices
and the equipment which are to be used so as to reduce the network cost
 The network services along with the routing devices are to be configured in accordance with
the requirements of the organization.
 The existing servers are to be upgraded along with the enabling of the virtualization of the
servers so as to handle the increased number of requests by the users [2].
 Installation of the wireless access points so as to secure the network from any kind of
unauthorized access.
 The redundancy of the network is to be increased so as to remove the failover points and for
increasing the availability of the network resources.
Some of the major limitations of the project include the following:
 The range of compatibility of the newly installed network devices with the existing
networking devices
 Getting the budget and finance approved by the organization which has been assigned for
the new proposed solution.
 High-security threats are to be eliminated along with the removal of the flaws that exist in
the system which in turn would be helping in increasing the work quality.

 There should exist efficient skills and knowledge in the network administrator so as to
configure the network devices in accordance with the organizational needs [3].
Requirements:
Below are some of the requirements of the new network which is to be developed and this
network requirements includes the product requirements, service requirements, network
requirements, security requirements and lastly the hardware requirements.
 Creation of the proposed network should be done in accordance with the quality standards
for each of the devices that are to be used in the new network
 In order to reduce the response time which, the system would be having it is essential to
divide the traffics of the intranet and the internet. Besides this, it would also be helping in
showing the ease of managing the processes [4].
 In order to secure the servers from any kind of unauthorized physical access, it is essential to
store them in a separate locked room.
 In order to balance the loads in the network and for handling the number of requests at a
time it is essential to apply the concept of virtualization.
 It is essential to make sure that the existing network is being covered along with being
extended so as to include the current components of the network in the process of
developing the new network solution.
 An addressing plan is to be created which should be proper and would be associated with
the allocation of the IP address to different VLAN along with differentiating the numerous
subnets so as to save the space for the address [5].
 The server is to be configured with the DHCP so as t allocate the IP address for the PC that is
to be connected to the network in an automatic way.
 A firewall is to be installed at the entry as well as at the exit point of the network so as to
help in securing the network traffic as well as for securing the network from any kind of
unauthorized access.
 The communication channels are to be encrypted so as to secure the network from the
various kind of attacks.
 Encryption along with passwords are to be used for the wireless access points so as to
reduce the risks related to unauthorized or illegal access.
 Proper cabling is to be used so as to connect the devices which are installed in various
locations of the network.
