Internet has become an important part of our

lifestyle. With the constant development of

computer network, the designing and
planning of a campus network are very
essential. We have to take care of several
aspects such as budget, security,
management, and overall performance of the
network.
 To provide high speed and uninterrupted
internet connectivity.
 Internet access to teachers for e-learning
and research work.
 Keeping the network secure as it has data
related to teacher’s research as well as files
related to teaching.
 Internet access to manage the publishing of
result.
 Limited internet access to students.
 Keep the network adaptable to any changes
in the future
 There are different buildings in a campus and
all have different usage of internet.
 The areas where we require various access
points are:
 Main Building
 Library
 Auditorium
 Hostel
 Cafeteria
 Hierarchical network design provides
efficient, fast and logical traffic forwarding
patterns for enterprise network topologies
while minimizing the cost of connecting
multiple devices at network endpoints.
 It is easy to design and implement.
 Better performance .
 Better management and troubleshooting in
case of network trouble.
 The hierarchical model has 3 layers
 Core layer
 Distribution layer
 Access layer
 The access layer is interfaces with the end devices such as PCs, printers,
mobile phones, to provide access to the rest of the network. The main
purpose is to provide a means of connecting devices to network and also
controlling devices which are allowed to communicate.
 The Distribution layer devices control access to resources that are
available at the core layer and must therefore use bandwidth efficiently,
provides redundant connections for access devices. Also it connects
network services to the access layer and implements policies for QoS,
security, traffic loading, and routing.
 The core layer is the backbone of the network, it is critical for
interconnectivity between distribution layer devices, hence it is
important for core to be highly available. It is connected to the internet
resources and hence should be capable of forwarding large amounts of
data quickly.
Network architecture and its security are
necessary for any organization. If we tend to
follow the hierarchic network design,
network will be scalable, performance and
security are increased, and therefore the
network a simple to take care of. During this
work, I attempted to create a compact
budget effective secure campus network
design based on the different requirements.
This proposed network infrastructure is
reliable and with adaptable infrastructure.
