 ABSTRACT

A network has to be designed for a school. There are a

total of 230 computers in the school computer lab. The

users in the lab should belong to a single domain and

receive IP address dynamically from a central server with

the ability to share files on a central location. Some of the

users have laptops with wireless cards for which wireless

access is required. The total size of the lab is 1000 sq ft.

Identify appropriate solution with the detailed services,

hardware and software requirements to design the

appropriate network for the school.

 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scenario Description

A network has to be designed for total of 230 computers in a school computer lab. The users
in the lab should belong to a single domain and receive IP address dynamically from a a
central server.

We setup a network with a DHCP server, a switch, and 230 PCs. location. We have also
included a wireless system for the users having laptops with wireless cards for the wireless
access of the network.

 2. LITERATURE SURVEY

A network is a device which is used to connect by a communication link. The device through
which it is connected is also called Node which can be a printer, scanner, and computer. It may be
any kind of devices which have the ability to send or receive the data generated by the other
devices on the network. All the network work upon the protocols (which are the set of rules made
for the network)

Jennifer Yick, Biswanath Mukherjee, Dipak Ghosal “Wireless Network Survey”. This paper was
published in 2008. This paper gives an overview of several new applications and then reviews the
literature on various aspects of WSNs. This paper classifies the problems into three different
categories:
1. Internal platform and underlying operating system
2. Communication protocol stack
3. Network services, provisioning, and deployment.
This paper reviews the major development in these three categories and outline new challenges.

 3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Requirement Analysis

From the given scenario, we draw the following requirements:

1. Identifying the appropriate hardware which would be used (Cisco Packet Tracer)
2. All users have connectivity with each other.
3. TCP/IP Network design with IP addressing
4. Features and configuration required on the hardware with explanation

We need to configure a network design keeping the following requirements in mind.

3.2 Hardware Requirement

From the given scenario, we draw the following requirements:

For Wired:
1 x Server – PT Primary Server
1 x Switches:
20 x End Devices:

For Wireless:
1x Switch(Broadband Switch)
1 x Router
2 x End Devices(Public Network PCs)
1 x Access Pointer
1 x Printer

 4. ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

4.1 Network Architecture

The network architecture is as follows:

The architecture consists of three major networks:

- Wired Network
- Wireless Network

These networks are interconnected with each other with varying degrees (discussed in the
implementation chapter).

 5. IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 Address Table

The address table for wired is as follows:

Device Interface Address

Server Fa0 192.168.1.1
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
PCs Fa 0/0 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.30

The Address table for wireless is as follows:

Device Interface Address

Router Fa0/0 192.168.1.1
PC Fa 0/0 192.168.1.3
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Printer 192.168.1.4
Access Pass Passcode: 1234567890

 7. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

 In conclusion, wireless communications globally are something that people

can expect as technology
advances.
 Wireless communications have a lot of benefits and can make the world a lot
more
efficient.
 The issues with security regarding access to a person personal information or
the negative impact that it may seem to have on society are a few things that
are holding back the progress that wireless technology could be making.
 With more research and experiments conducted, the problems associated
with wireless communications can be reduced and make it a more significant
part of the world.
 Wireless technology will be very important in the near future where the need
for wires connecting individual devices seems to be coming to an end.
 Since we are moving forward with continuously evolving technologies, we
need an efficient, cost effective and highly secure network to support our
smart devices.
 As one of the efficient technologies in wireless communication, Wi-Fi can be
used for future technological advancements like IoT, 5G and beyond. In
future we could expect a free wireless network almost everywhere.
 It does have concerns though as with every other new advancement that is
made in today’s world.
