VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK
Introduction
A virtual private network is designed for a small and medium enterprise after the analysis of the
service requirement and the protocols used for the development of a VPN network solution. An analysis
is made on the architecture that should be used for the development of the network and a road map of
the process is interpreted in the report for following it and support the administrator for the
management of the development process of the project. The technologies that can be applied for
increasing the efficiency and scalability of the network framework is analyzed such that it can be
implemented for meeting the long term goals of the organization. The scope and limitation of the
project is analyzed and a solution design is created before starting the project development process
such that the design is evaluated by aligning it with the requirement of the organization.
Scopes and Limitations
The scope of designing the VPN network design are as follows:
 Use of secure authentication mechanism and changing password on regular basis for
increasing the security of VPN network
 Selection of type of VPN depending on the requirement and structure of the
organization.
 Bypassing the filtered and blocked websites and access all the websites and services
 Increasing the efficiency of bandwidth and network with the implementation of VPN.
 Reducing the cost of maintenance and communication for communicating with the
remote branches
The limitation for designing the VPN network are as follows:
 Understanding the installation and configuration of the security issues of the network
for ensuring sufficient protection is implemented for the network
 Ensuring reliability and performance for the internet based VPN and application of
sufficient protection for the organizational resources
 Compatibility of the different VPN product with the equipment used for the
development of the network
 Selection of the router and the transmission link for eliminating the risk of slower VPN
speed and testing it according to the requirement.
