 Introduction
This College Network Scenario is about designing a topology of a network that is a LAN (Local Area
Network) for a College in which various computers of different departments are set up so that they can
interact and communicate with each other by interchanging data. To design a networking scenario for
a college which connect various departments to each other’s, it puts forward communication among
different departments. CNS is used to design a systematic and well-planned topology, satisfying all the
necessities of the college (i.e. client). CNS come up with a network with good performance.

Objectives
The main objective of the proposed network is to update the existing network and also enhance its
capabilities and increase the flexibility of the network which will eventually provide good security.

Network Requirements

1: The new system should be able to reduce internet downtime. Download and upload links should be
maintained above 5 Mbps speed requirement.

2: Network will be scalable.

3: The system should support remote access.

4: Should comprise of data centers with necessary security features and support.

Major Design Areas and Functional Areas

The new system planned comprises of IP based switches that remain as the access point to lan-based
(ethernet) as well as Wi-Fi-based connectivity.
These switches provide SNMP support as well so that traffic monitoring becomes
easy. Ip based switches are used mainly because:

1
 • The inter VLAN routing feature is supported on both IP base or SMI and IP services or EMI
image Layer 3 switches. For Layer 2-only switches, you require a Layer 3 routing device with
any of the previous images.
-

VLAN Config

• The IP Base feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, access control
lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functions. Dynamic IP
routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), BGPv4, Enhanced Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (EIGRP)) are available only on the IP services image.

• The IP Services image provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, which includes advanced
hardware-based IP unicast and IP Multicast routing. Support for IPv6 Layer 3 switching in
hardware is also available with the addition of the Advanced IP Services license to either the IP
Base or the IP Services images. Both the IP base Image and the IP services image allow for
Layer 3 and Layer 4 lookups for QoS and security.

Existing Infrastructure

The existing system is a very basic system. College mainly comprises of three main sections as

1. TPO & Other

2. Exam Center 3. Office

2
 All the hosts are assigned with static IPs and are assigned in the order in which it where set up. No
support for dynamic IP allocations. Even though the working is divided into three major sectors all the
host, multimedia devices are connected in a single network. Thus, network security and maintena nce
are difficult. One more problem observed was the existing switches were outdated and hence could not
prove to be beneficial for the network administrator to observe monitor and handle the network traffic
the system has no remote access to the network. Absence of basic small-scale businesses firewall was
also observed. Thus, security is also compromised. Three server rooms were used for the purpose of
independent networking which further caused wastage of power and money.

The above design is the existing network traced on cisco packet tracer.

Network Devices
Developing the existing Lan system:

• The basis of the LAN core is Cisco Catalyst 6509 switches equipped with Cisco 720 supervisors
and Virtual Switching System (VSS), as well as Cisco 4500 switches, combined in a stack with
the data transmission ports at 10 Gb/s bandwidth capacity. Switches create a platform for
additional services, such as content processing, firewall (the project uses the Cisco firewa ll),
intrusion prevention system, application of IPsec security tools, the arrangement of protected
VPN channels, network analysis and acceleration of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections.

3
 Mobility Services Engine (MSE) solution and 300 Cisco Aironet 1140 access points were used.
• The Cisco Aironet 1140 Series is a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, which
can scale up to 18,000 access points with full Layer 3 mobility across central or remote locations
on the enterprise campus, in branch offices, and at remote sites.

• The Cisco Unified Wireless Network is the industry’s most flexible, resilient, and scalable
architecture, delivering secure access to mobility services and applications and offering the
lowest total cost of ownership and investment protection by integrating seamlessly with the
existing wired network.

Above is the pictorial representation of the proposed network

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) solution allowed the integration of computer and network
resources as well as storage and virtualization systems as part of an energy efficiency system. Cisco
Unified Computing System platform notably simplifies traditional architecture and significantly reduces
the number of devices to be purchased, to connect by wires, to supply with electricity and cooling, to
protect and maintain. This solution is the foundation of complex optimization of the virtualized medium
while maintaining the ability to support traditional operating systems and applications stacks in physical
medium. This overall infrastructure developed allowed integration of several functionally differe nt

4
physical networks into one, such as guest network, hotel management network, telephone network and
IP-Television network. The convergence within single network reduced hotel expenses for constructing
and managing several dedicated networks which traditionally remain separate in hotels.
The term unified computing system is often associated with Cisco. Cisco UCS products have the ability
to support traditional operating system (OS) and application stacks in physical environments, but are
optimized for virtualized environments. Everything is managed through Cisco UCS Manager, a software
application that allows administrators to provision the server, storage and network resources all a t once
from a single pane of glass. Similar offerings to Cisco UCS include HP BladeSystem Matrix, Liquid
Computing's LiquidIQ, Sun Modular Datacenter and InteliCloud 360.

 Routing Protocol Plan
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol which uses hop count as a
routing metric to find the best path between the source and the destination network. It is a distance
vector routing protocol which has AD value 120 and works on the application layer of OSI model.
