Design and Implementation of University Network

Abstract

Information technology is being used at numerous places fulfilling various purposes. Doing work at one place by professors and sharing it at another place either to faculty members and students becomes quite difficult. As doing tasks on one PC, a professor might have to visit different classes and labs due to various reasons. Similarly a student working on a project might have to access a particular project document in multiple labs and classes. Head of Department has to visit various rooms and classes in a particular day. It would be very tedious job to carry laptop everywhere. There might be a situation when a user wants to share a particular data with more than 1 user. There can also be a situation when a particular message/ information need to be shared with the entire university. So this research work proposes a novel approach to communicate among various users that are present at different sites at the same time where at university premises network system is being proposed which would help departments to share information among faculty members and students Proposed approach takes the help of sharing common network domain by DNS and applies heterogeneous BUS topology model to explore various concepts like topology design, creating dynamic host configuration protocol, sub net masking, DNS and VLAN within a single network with the help of Cisco Packet Tracer to make the network more secured and cost effective.
