INTRODUCTION

 Computer networks help user on the network to share the resources in combination.
 A strong and expensive network gives you insight into trends as well as insider information on
job opening and movement within the company.
 In general a computer network is classified into 3 networks.
 These are :- LAN (local area network)
WAN (wide area network)
MAN (metropolitan area network)

LAN: - Is a group of computer connected with each other in small places such as school, hospital,

apartment etc.

WAN: - provides long distance transmission of data. The size can cover country, continent or even a
whole world. Internet connection is an example of WAN.

MAN:- network covers larger area by connections LANs to a larger network of computers. In
metropolitan area network various local area networks are connected with each other through
telephone lines. The size of metropolitan area networks is larger than LANs and smaller than WANs
(wide area networks), a MANs covers the larger area of city of town.

Design
In order to not to waste IP address we use VLSM design.

The steps to follow to subnet networks using VLSM method:-

 Count the number of hosts for each LAN

 Subnet starting from LAN which has large number of hosts and continue for
the other LAN in descending arrangement of their hosts
 Assign the nearest network block. The first and the last block are given to
network ID and broadcast ID respectively, whereas the middle blocks are
given to hosts.

WAN
Material Requirement
In our design we have 3 WAN networks and 4 LAN Network specifically the LAN networks are (Main
campus, IOT, Collage of Medicine and Health Science (CMHS) and college of Agriculture (COA).

Router
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers
perform the traffic directing functions on the internet. Data sent through the internet such that a web
page or email is in the form of data packets. Routers by nature are one port. We usually ran out of
available ports and some extra ports are required to make a connection. We will have to add some
modules that provide required ports because of this reason we used three cisco 2620XM Modular
Access Router to provide a flexible LAN and WAN configurations, multiple security options, voice and
data integration and range of high-performance processors.

Switch
Switches are the connectivity points of on Ethernet network these are small devices that can receive
data from multiple input ports and send it to the specific output port that takes data to its intended
destination in the network.

We used 8 CISCO Catalyst 2960 series switches with feature set WS-C2960-24TT-L and model LAN Base
layer 2 with 30w AC power supply rating, they can support a maximum 24 hour with their 24 port.

For the actual design the number of switch we used:-

 For IOT LAN we need minimum of 32 switches.

 For CMHS we need minimum of 40 switches.
 For COA we need minimum of 80 switches.
 For MC we need minimum of 146 switches.

END DEVICES
From the design of the 4 LAN we have 7130 hosts (end devices). But for the implementation we used 28
end devices 8 hosts per LAN for the two LAN and 6 hosts per LAN.

For the end device include PC_PTS Laptop_PTS and server we used

 8 server
 8 PC_PT
 12_Laptops_PTS

TYPES OF CABLE NEEDED

 Straight through cable:_ to connect switches with router and to connect hosts with switches.
 Cross over cable: - to connect two switch within the LAN
 Serial cable: - to connect the three routers within the WAN
