Scenario: University Campus Network Design
Scenario Overview:
University is undertaking a project to upgrade its campus network
infrastructure to better support its faculty, students, and administrative staff.
The campus consists of four main buildings: The Administration Building, the
Academic Building, the Library, and the Student Dormitory. Each building
requires its own dedicated network segment to ensure security and efficient
traffic management. The university wants seamless communication between
these segments and internet access for all devices using a single public IP
address. Additionally, the network needs to accommodate a growing number
of devices efficiently.
Network Design Requirements:
1. Network Segmentation:
- The network should be divided into separate segments for different
buildings to manage different types of traffic efficiently.
- Each building should operate on its own network segment to maintain
security and manageability.
2. Inter-segment Communication:
- Devices in different segments should be able to communicate when
necessary, for instance, allowing students to access library resources
from the Academic Building.
3. Internet Access: hint NAT
- All devices within the university network should have access to the
internet, utilizing a single public IP address provided by the ISP.
(200.0.0.1)
4. IP Address Management:
- The university has been allocated a single Class B IP address range and
needs to optimize this range to accommodate the different buildings and
departments.
5. Traffic Routing:
- Efficient routing should be implemented to manage internal traffic
between the buildings and external traffic to the internet.
Network Segmentation and Size Allocation: 192.168.0.0/16
1. Administration Building (Staff and Administrative Offices):
- VLAN 10:
- Expected number of devices: 50
2. Academic Building (Classrooms and Faculty Offices):
- VLAN 20:
- Expected number of devices: 100
3. Library (Library Resources and Study Areas):
- VLAN 30:
- Expected number of devices: 70
4. Student Dormitory (Student Devices):
- VLAN 40:
- Expected number of devices: 200
