MN503 Project: Comprehensive Network Design for Primary School

This project outlines the design and implementation of a network for a primary school, utilizing the Boson NetSim network simulator. It covers the scope and requirements of the project, including designing a network configuration based on school requirements, implementing routing between network components, and allocating IP addresses for guest users and primary school users. The design includes a dedicated FTP server, wireless network access, and DHCP configuration for guest users. The project further details the IP address scheme, network topology diagram, router configuration, guest switch configuration, LAN switch configuration, DHCP configuration, and security configuration, providing a comprehensive overview of the network setup.

Scope of Project
The project related scope consists of developing and executing a particular network for a
school having primary sections. The designing elements consist of several techniques and
execution skills for high designing and development of the network. Project exercising
related to one’s requirement that delivers knowledge execution depending on its development
and several schemes of IP addresses depending on schemes related to IP addressing.
The requirement for the Project
The real implementation of the project into the system, for this the NetSim required that is
Boson network simulator application. This is used because it provides the large variety of the
switches and Cisco router. All the requirement of the primary school is achieved with the
help of this configuration. Below describes some of the network requirement for the system
is:
 Designed network configuration all over simulator of the network that is determined
according to school requirements. Routing implementation among the networks is
being functioned properly for connectivity among various components of the network.
 The design networking must be critically developed in order to meet the desired
criteria for IP address allocation regarding 10 more guest users at a particular time
along with 50 users of primary school.
 The FTP server that is dedicated must design a network to deliver services of FTP to
various users or people for primary based school.
 The designed network must have a point of access for networks that delivers user
access to the wireless connectivity of any networks. This develops designing of the
network that is feasible.
 The configuration of DHCP should be done for users mainly guest users to
dynamically provide the desired IP address for its usage (Atamtürk, and Bhardwaj,
2018).
Design of the Network
Network-based designing involves scope, understanding and evaluating all entire network
that is implemented. The complete design of various networks is represented by the diagram

of a network that especially serves as a network physical implementation that needs to be
carried out. The entire network related design comprises of
 Cabling of various structures
 IP addressing structures
 Location, quantity and type of network
 Network security architecture
 Network security processes.

IP Address Scheme
Depending on the network-based requirement school based on primary working are
addressed. A table is developed for network designing which consist of especially 3 various
parts that are divided into different departments described as
 LAN
 Server
 Guest
Department Name Subnet IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway
Guests 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Server 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 10.0.0.1
LAN 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
 The mask based on the subnet for the department of the server having IP of C class
that is 255.255.255.252.
 The described mask has majorly 4 different IPs of a particular network, last
broadcasting of IP and rests 2 of the host.

 The scheme for IP addressing that is used and determined by the server is mainly
Classless (Gal, London, Globerson, Ramaswamy, Reimann, Muller, Markram, and
Segev, 2017).
 For Guest and LAN subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is used for providing the IPs to the
users of Primary School.
Network Topology Diagram

This is the image of topology carried out in networking diagram mainly for school based on
the primary. The structured design is also considered for the institutional requirement of the
network.

Router Configuration
A networking related device that transfers many data packets within the computer's network
and it also describes directing traffic related functions on several internets. The data packets
are transferred generally within routers via networks.

Guest Switch Configuration
This type of software must sustain all featured documents that consist of peer-based mobility
that also configures hierarchical mobility architecture. The wireless implementation used to
access the guest in case of both infrastructures that are wireless and wired.

LAN Switch Configuration
Configuration for LAN switching is determined as a switching packet that is exclusively used
for Local Area Network (LAN). Such methods are crucial as it allows or enables traffic to
transfer things in areas where seems the need.
