OPTIMASI INFRASTRUKTUR JARINGAN VLAN TRUNKING PROTOCOL MENGGUNAKAN SIMULASI PACKET TRACER PADA PT. RUKUN SEJAHTERA TEKNIK

Abstract

Modern companies with many floors and rooms need computer network technology to support operational activities. The computer network at PT Rukun Sejahtera Teknik often causes data transmission failures and unstable computer network systems that cause network performance to fall and become unresponsive. the purpose of this research is to design a Virtual Local Area Network using the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) method and Packet Tracer Simulation to improve network performance and limit the access rights of each user. The type of this research is qualitative with field study methods by conducting observations for two weeks. Observations include the existing Local Area Network (LAN) network and the problem of slow data transmission on the existing network. The results of testing the network design with the configuration of the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) server and client mode, show that the switch configured in VTP client mode cannot add and change the VLAN that has been set. The ping test results show that computers in each room cannot access networks outside of different VLAN networks. It proves that the network design is as planned and running well.
