Network Design for VIT: Cisco vs Hierarchical

The document provides details of a network design assignment for a campus network at VIT. It discusses using either a hierarchical network model or Cisco enterprise composite network model. The Cisco Composite model is chosen as it is a more modern version of the hierarchical model and can better control traffic. Basic configuration, RIP routing protocol configuration, server configuration, and PC configuration are mentioned along with testing network connectivity. The key aspects of switching design policies for a LAN like using switches at different layers and VLANs are also outlined.

Design Network Infrastructure


Assignment

Student Name: Chaudhry Ismail


Student ID: 38505
Part 1:
You are asked to create a network design for VIT. You have options to choose either
Hierarchical network model or Cisco enterprise composite network model.
Considering your campus, design network with respect to both the models and conclude which
one you will prefer for implementation. Use necessary figures and explanations for both the
models.
The Cisco Composite give us the detail of undertaking grounds organize and a united shrewd
foundation to get to IT assets over all venture area.
It Consist of 4 modules

 Switch Module
 Executives Module
 Server Module
 Conveyance Module

We choose the Cisco Composite because it is the modern form of Hierarchy model and it can
control the traffic in a better manner.
Basic Configuration:
Routing Protocol RIP Configuration:
Server Configuration:
PC Configuration:
Test Connectivity:

Part 2:
1. Considering a LAN, list the designing policies you may follow for having a
switching design for the network with maximum benefits. Consider all possibilities
to improve the network performance including the use of hub/bridge/switch,
switch placement, security, VLAN, redundant links etc.

The switching network places the switching into all hierarchical layers

 The core layer


 The distribution layer
 The Access layer

Core layer: Additionally alluded to as the system spine, this layer is answerable for
moving a lot of traffic rapidly.
Distribution Layer: Organize,the outline point between the entrance and center layers
and assists with characterizing and separate the center.
Access layer: The most reduced layer of the TCP/IP convention chain of importance.
The conventions in this layer give the way to the framework to convey information to different
gadgets on a legitimately appended arrange
2. The network administrator is testing network connectivity by issuing the
tracert command from host A to host B. Answer the questions based on the
network topology and output exhibited on host A.
3. Is the network fully converged?
No, the network is not fully converged, because when he tracer the host A, so the request time
out occurs which shows that network is not fully converged.

4. Is router 1, router 2 or router 3 is missing the route to any network? If yes,


mention the router and the missing network.

Router2 is missing the route and the missing network is [Link]


Router3 is missing the route and the missing network is [Link]

5. For this network, suggest a routing protocol and justify your selection

In our case the network is not fully converged so we will used BGP routing protocol.
