Designing Advanced College Network using Cisco Packet Tracer

The aim of this project was collage network design and implementation and the introduction of a suitable network for most college’s around the world with IOT devices implementation. This thesis/project includes advanced proposal for "College Network architecture", where in we have implemented some techniques like IOT device connectivity. The network design is without any references to the existing computer network being used in the college but we had made a case study to build it more reliable and upgraded. The upgraded network design in college model keeps in view services like 1) IOT device implementation and their connectivity 2) (ii)Wi-Fi enabled campus with restricted and secured access 3) Providing a high quality of service for the college’s network with ensuring internet on each desk by implementing dual ISP dynamic configuration. The thesis/project also focuses on the problems in network connectivity and effectively implements new technologies that helps to reduce problem’s in existing network and also protocols as HSRP (Hot spot routing protocol), OSPF (Open shortest path first routing protocol) routing, use of DHCP (Dynamic host configuration protocol server). This project should be useful to Network Communications Engineers as it covers the major requirement that necessitates of a college network. The proposed network design uses simulator software Cisco Packet Tracer 5.1. Details of Cisco Packet Tracer 5.1 have also been provided in this thesis report. All the necessary networking basics and background information has also been provided for the sake of completeness in the Appendix section and non-experts can refer the same.
