 ABSTRACT

This project is to design a suitable network system an IT organization. The aim was to design a
network with high security and low cost. The advantages of networking can be seen clearly in
terms of efficiency, security, manageability and cost as it allows collaboration between users in a
wide area. To improve company network design. But the network can also become better using
routing protocols and other protocol. So, we are going to use such protocols using less number of
devices and will also maintain the cost of the network less that is why we configure three networks
i.e. FTP, HTTP, SMTP protocol. To design such network, we are going to use software Cisco-
Packet Tracer.

Introduction
The network is designed for an IT organization where there are 3 departments: IT department, HR
department and Admin department. The setup for Virtual Length Subnet Masking for network
hosts within the departments, SMTP server, FTP server, and HTTP server is created. The
connection is simulated using Cisco Packet Tracer.

Network Topology
Routers are separated for each department which is further distributed using individual switch for
each router. All the routers are connected and routed properly. The end-users are connected to
the switch.

Network Connection
As a prototype, 2 devices each for IT and HR are connected and 1 device is used for Admin
department. Following network topology is used for inter-department connection within the
organization:
Virtual Length Subnet Masking
For VLSM, following steps are taken by creating network in Cisco Packet Tracer:
1. In the new Cisco Instance, three Routers are added which is individually divided to IT,
HR, and Admin department.

Three routers are connected to each other.

2. Switch is added for each router and connection is done using wire.

3. For this sample, each department has been connected to one PC and one laptop. Admin
department has only one PC. The connection is done using wire.

FTP server Configuration

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transferring files between computers over
a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) connection. Within the TCP/IP suite,
FTP is considered an application layer protocol.

Figure 3: FTP server configuration

For server Configuration
1. Go to server desktop> Ip configuration > give id Address, subnet mask default gateway

• IP Configuration:
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 10.10.10.2
o Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
o Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1
2. Go to sevices >Provide username and password and permission to user
3. The IP address configuration for devices is:
• PC0
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.2
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
o Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
• PC1
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.3
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
o Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
• Router
o Interface GigabitEthernet0/0:
→ IPv4 Address: 10.10.10.1
→ Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

o Interface GigabitEthernet0/1:
→ IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.1
→ Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
HTTP server Configuration

Figure 4: HTTP Server configuration

For server Configuration

1. Go to server desktop> Ip configuration > give id Address, subnet mask default gateway
• IP Configuration:
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.3
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
2. The IP address configuration for devices is:
• Device1
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Device1
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.2
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
3. Now we are doing the configuration of the server, to view the desired output when an
end user search on the given IP.
4. index.html file is configured.
5. Given is the result:
SMTP server Configuration
Steps to create SMTP server in Cisco Packet Tracer:
1. In the new Cisco Instance, a server is added which is to be used as the SMTP server.

The server is configured to have following settings:

• IP Configuration:
o Mode: Static
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.50
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
o Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
2. Under Services, go to EMAIL and set the server details for the SMTP server:
• EMAIL:
o Domain Name: sunway.edu.np
o Username => Password:
→ achyut => test123
→ roshan => test123
→ sakar => test123
→ rayban => test123
3. Let’s add a router into the instance and connect it with the server. Initially, the wires will
be red indicated which means they are not working. To get it working, the router is
configured to have the following settings inside config tab:
• Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0:
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1:
o IPv4 Address: 192.168.100.1
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Make sure the Port Status is set to On for each interface.
Alternatively, we can use following command to perform actions in this step:
• Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0:

• Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1:
 The lights will start to blink green when ip is properly set-up.

4. A switch is added for connecting end-users to the router. Cables are used to establish
connection between those.

5. End-users are added to the instance and are connected to the Server with the help of
the switch Switch0 we added earlier. Cables are used to establish connection between
those.
Figure 5: SMTP server configuration
6. Every end-devices are assigned their Static IP address using the gateway 192.168.100.1.
IP address is assigned going to Desktop tab and clicking on IP Configuration. The IP
address assigned are:
• Achyut:
o IP address: 192.168.100.12
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Roshan:
o IP address: 192.168.100.24
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Sakar:
o IP address: 192.168.100.36
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Rayban:
o IP address: 192.168.100.48
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

7. In step 2, 4 users were created for the domain sunway.edu.np. Those emails can be
logged-in in each end-device going to Desktop tab and inside Email. The IP address of
the server i.e., 192.168.1.50 is used in both Incoming Mail server and Outgoing Mail
Server.
8. Above steps can be followed to setup SMTP server. To send email, the same Email
section can be used. The mail can be sent by clicking on Compose button.
Conclusion
With the completion of this project, we got to know the basic of server configuration in SMTP,
HTTP, and FTP. Also, we got the grasp of how IP address are divided into various departments
using Variable Length Subnet Masking method.
