Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a Campus Management System
network using Cisco Packet Tracer. The network includes routers, switches, Wi-Fi networks,
and other critical components to facilitate communication across different departments.
VLANs are utilized to segregate traffic, with dynamic IP allocation through DHCP. The
routers connect all units with serial DCE cables and are configured with OSPF to advertise
routes. Security is implemented by configuring SSH for secure remote access and enforcing
port security for sensitive departments like Administration. The project demonstrates how
networking technologies can be effectively deployed to meet educational institution
requirements.
Introduction

Modern educational institutions rely heavily on robust network infrastructures to ensure

smooth communication,
data flow, and operational efficiency. A campus management system, which connects
various departments and
facilitates resource sharing, requires a tailored networking solution to address its unique
needs. Each department
hosts specific activities and communication requirements that demand seamless
connectivity.

To meet these requirements, a well-structured network design is essential, incorporating

routers for inter-department
connectivity, switches for intra-department communication, and VLANs for isolating traffic
for security and efficiency.
Wi-Fi access points ensure connectivity for mobile devices, while printers in each
department need network access
for seamless document sharing.

This project focuses on designing and implementing such a network architecture using
Cisco Packet Tracer, demonstrating
how advanced networking concepts address real-world educational needs.
Applications

The network design and configurations implemented in this project are applicable in
various real-world scenarios,
including but not limited to:

1. Educational Institutions
- Facilitates smooth communication between administration, academics, and support
departments.
- Supports campus-wide connectivity with VLANs to segregate traffic for staff, students,
and visitors.

2. Corporate Offices
- Efficient communication between teams across different floors or branches.
- VLAN segregation for secure and efficient inter-department communication.

3. Healthcare Facilities
- Dedicated VLANs for administrative, diagnostic, and patient care services.
- Ensures secure and fast communication for critical healthcare applications.

4. Government Buildings
- Reliable and secure communication infrastructure for multi-department facilities.
- VLAN-based architecture for isolated yet interconnected operations.
Proposed Work

The network is designed with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and security. The proposed
configuration includes:

1. **Network Design**
- Routers connect all departments with serial DCE cables for inter-department
communication.
- Each department is equipped with a switch connecting desktops and printers.
- Wi-Fi access points on campus provide connectivity for mobile devices.

2. **VLAN Configuration**
- Departments are assigned unique VLANs with specified IP subnets for logical
segmentation and improved traffic management.
- VLAN IDs include:
- Administration: VLAN 10 (192.168.1.0/24)
- Academics: VLAN 20 (192.168.2.0/24)
- IT: VLAN 30 (192.168.3.0/24)

3. **Routing and Security**

- OSPF routing is implemented for dynamic route learning.
- SSH is configured for secure router access, and port security is enforced to protect
sensitive areas.
Topology Setup

The network topology includes a hierarchical structure connecting all departments. Key
features include:

- Three routers serve as backbone devices.

- Departmental switches provide connectivity within VLANs.
- Wi-Fi networks support mobile users across campus.
Future Scope

Future enhancements for the campus management network include:

1. IoT Integration
- Adding smart devices such as sensors for attendance tracking and energy efficiency.

2. Advanced Security
- Incorporating intrusion detection systems (IDS) and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

3. Scalability
- Seamless addition of new departments and devices without significant reconfiguration.
Conclusion

The Campus Management System network design demonstrates how modern networking
technologies can create a
robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure. The integration of VLANs, OSPF, and DHCP
ensures operational efficiency
while enabling secure communication across departments. This project serves as a
foundation for further advancements
and scalability to adapt to future requirements.
