Campus Network Design for Information Technology Faculty

The impact of network services failures can have a significant effect on the functionality of education. The construction of a campus network has played a crucial role in advancing educational systems and creating optimal learning environments. Therefore, it is essential to ensure a high level of network availability to guarantee timely access to resources. This research paper introduces a campus network design which incorporates a hierarchical structure with dual single-homed internet access to enhance reliability. Emphasizing the importance of reliability and security, the paper applies the CISCO methodology to address the specific challenges of campus network design using the GNS3 simulator. The resulting topology ensures robust security, scalability, and high availability through the implementation of redundancy mechanisms and the dynamic operation of DHCP, HSRP, and STP protocols.
