Introduction
The On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program is a part of the college curriculum where
students are able to exercise and apply the technical and theoretical knowledge they’ve
learned from the university. The Central Luzon State University Bachelor of Science in
The Program allows companies to train students who will serve as an addition to
their workforce thereby making a more efficient outcome. It requires them to oversee and
guide the students to be familiar with the company’s day-to-day activities and
transactions. Daily activities serve as tests for the interns which will in turn help them
improve their skills. Because of these tasks, the supervisors will be able to observe how
productive and useful are the trainees with regards to efficiency, effectivity, and quality
of their performance. This may be a tool to help them choose quality employees for
hiring in the future. For the students, the Program prepares them to develop their skills,
acquire experience, learn to innovate and nurture themselves in their chosen field. The
experience they learn from the Training will serve as their gauge in selecting a working
environment suitable for their growing capacity in the future. The Program also helps
students to find the right job where they can apply their skills and start their career as
professionals.

A. Importance of the field practice
The Program serves as a training ground for students to improve their knowledge,
talents, and interpersonal skills. It allows the students to apply the knowledge, ideas and
concepts and learn more for advancement in their chosen field. The field practice
involved in the Program lets them experience real world scenarios and facilitates

Operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every
general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs and
applications. Computer operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input
from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and
directories on the storage drives, and controlling peripheral devices such as printers. For
large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like

IV. METHODOLOGY
The “PfSense Firewall Operating System” project for the M.D. Tambungui
follows the Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate, and Optimize (PPDIOO)
31
methodology as a phase approach to solving network problems. There are six steps
included in the PPDIOO lifecycle. Each phase defines the activities required to
successfully deploy and operate CISCO technologies. It also details how to optimize
performance throughout the lifecycle of a network. Figure below shows the methods.
This is the step by step method on creating the PfSense Firewall Operating
System. These steps must be in order. Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate, and
Optimize. Every step is needed to create the specific project. The figure below shows

The plan phase is where the firewall installation is created and on how the
operating system will work on company’s goals, facilities, and user needs. This
implementation will be done after the company has done constructing their new

installation of the PfSense Firewall Operating System. This is where the firewall

Table 6 & 7 are the equipment for the cpu to be used for the installation of
firewall and set-up. This equipment was based on a user who already use it. This
is the best for a company that is starting to expand for the best performance of the
firewall. The firewall will be open 24/7 for that the company will always be
protected from the harm who wants to get in and steal their data
