2. Introduction
A multi-floor college building network connects all floors of a college using routers and
switches for smooth communication. Each floor has its own switch and devices like PCs, all
linked to a core switch and router for internet and server access. This setup ensures fast data
sharing, better management, and easy maintenance across the entire building.
3. Why (Problem Statement & Objective)
Problem Statement:
Design a network for a multi-floor college building where each floor needs reliable connectivity
for PCs and servers, with proper IP addressing, inter-floor communication, and internet access,
ensuring efficient management and scalability.
Objective:
· To simulate a multi-floor college building network using Cisco Packet Tracer.
· · To provide inter-floor connectivity for seamless communication.
· · To implement IP addressing, VLANs, and routing for efficient data transfer.
· · To demonstrate real-life campus networking concepts in a practical scenario.

Network Components:-
i. Router (Router0 – 2901)
Located on the Ground Floor (Server Room).
Acts as the default gateway for all floors.
Connects the college network to external networks or internet.
ii. Core Switch (Switch0 – 3560 Layer 3 Switch)
Placed near the router in the Server Room.
Connects to floor switches for inter-floor communication.
Manages VLAN routing and high-speed backbone switching.
iii. Floor Switches (Switch1 to Switch3 – 2960 Layer 2 Switches)
One on each floor (First, Second, Third).
Connects all PCs and devices on that floor.

Linked to the Core Switch using straight-through Ethernet cables.
iv. PCs (PC0 to PC10 – PC-PT)
Represent student labs, faculty PCs, and classroom devices.
Used for internet browsing, assignments, and communication.
Each PC connects individually to its floor switch via straight-through Ethernet cables.
v. Server (Server0 – Server-PT)
Located on the Ground Floor (Server Room).
Provides services like File sharing, DHCP, or DNS for the college network.
Connected to the Core Switch using FastEthernet cable.

5. Run Time Simulation
Steps:
Configure static IP addresses for all 4th floor PCs and router gateway.
Set up VLAN configuration on Floor Switch3 and Core Switch.
4|Page
Configure Inter-VLAN Routing on the Core Switch or Router.
Verify PC-to-PC connectivity on the same floor using ping.
Verify inter-floor communication by pinging devices on other floors.
Test internet connectivity by pinging the simulated cloud (if configured).
Simulation Tools Used:
PC Command Prompt: (ping tests)
Cisco Packet Tracer VLAN and Routing Configuration Tools
Simulation Mode: to observe packet flow and connectivity between floors and external
networks.
6. Result
Output Screenshots:
Observation:
All 4th floor PCs are able to communicate with each other and with devices on
other [Link] router successfully routes traffic between VLANs, and internet
connectivity is working as configured.
Overall, the multi-floor college network operates smoothly, ensuring seamless
data sharing and communication across the entire building..
