Outline of the Report
In this report, I have derived a system of networking scheme for the required necessities and the
criteria for the industry. The host configuration, router configuration, switch configuration along with
the server configuration guidelines for the network is designed in a proper manner. At last we made the
timeline and budget.
1. Project Choice and Necessities
 Evidence of an Industry Visit
 Industry Information after seeing their current Network
After seeing the industry supervision and the enterprise, it was really impossible to forget about
their system of networking. The industry had different sections and the central unit had the
connections of each section. There was a networking system through which every section can
communicate easily. The sections were using the personal computers named as hosts and the
each host was using switches to connect with the router. To communicate with other routers
the main router was building a VLAN with other networks. I was trying to completely overview
the protocol that the industry was using for their system of networking.
1. Scheming and interpretation of the Network
 Network designing according to the requirements
Requirements
i. 3 VLAN
ii. 4 routers
iii. 20 PCs
iv. 6 switches
Network would look like;
Figure 1 Network design according to requirements

Figure 2: Creating Vlan
Figure 3:Three Vlans are created
Figure 4: Three VLAN are created
Each router is connected with its neighboring router through a line and these routers are capable of
communicating through specific protocol. The above image shows the networking system which is
designed rendering to specified setup. There are 20 PCs that are involved with the 6 altered switches
and these switches are joined with different departments and these 6 switches are associated with the 3
Routers that make the VLAN.

Figure 5 Router connections with switches
The scheme of above networking system and the previous network is according to the required
information. In this networking system the utilized modules are prepared for the single section. Each
and every host is associated with one access point and this one access point is associated with the
router via switch.
 Appropriate IP Addressing
DHCP IP address Subnet inscriptions
169.254.74.168 255.255.0.0
169.254.152.139 255.255.0.0
169.254.94.107 255.255.0.0
169.254.124.46 255.255.0.0
169.254.107.130 255.255.0.0
Figure 6 IP Addressing with Subnet marks
 Choice of the Dynamic Routing Protocols, Static Routing and the ACL (Access Control List)
according to the Network Preferences
The choice of techniques in a networking system totally depends on the industry. If the industry
is smaller in size, there would be limited host then RIP protocol would be preferably better for it.
It will be having a technique of dynamic routing following the OSPF (open shortest path first).
Open shortest path first Protocol is monitored in the given network because in an industrial
level this protocol provides the efficient routing.

Sections are divided into different parts and further into sub parts at an industrial level. Static
routing is used in the sub parts and dynamic router is used in the main departments in the
above designed network [1].

2. Arrangement of Network
 Network Configuration using the Packet Tracer
a. Network Diagram of the Packet Tracer
Figure 11 Simulated Network Diagram of the Packet Tracer
As it can be seen in the above network system, the networks and operation of the networking system is
presented properly. Packet Tracer provides us complete description of networking system and its
functioning.
b. Structure of switch
The dynamic routing switch is configured through ports and the commands are mentioned below.
Figure 12: Switch configuration Step1

Step-1 Deliver the IP address and subnet marks of router to generate the strong wire wall between the
networks.
Step-2 Generating an IP address inside the network and every section will be using this IP address to
communicate with the PCs which are connected through switches.
Figure 13: switch configuration Step 2
Step-3 PC of every section would be using the similar level of dynamic IP-address. There would be no
static IP.
