Tools:

Packet tracer program

phases:

1. Planning and Design Phase

Network Diagram: Create an initial network diagram using planning tools to illustrate the locations of routers, switches, wireless access points, and servers.

Component Selection: Identify the required hardware (e.g., Cisco Routers, Switches) and plan their distribution across different locations.

2. Setup and Configuration Phase

Router and Switch Configuration: Configure routers and switches to manage traffic within the network and effectively connect all parts of the network.

Server Setup: Install and configure DNS, DHCP, Web, and Mail servers to provide essential services to all users.

Wireless Network Configuration: Set up wireless access points to cover all areas of the university, ensuring continuous and fast connectivity.

3. Testing and Quality Assurance Phase

Connectivity Testing: Ensure all devices are correctly connected and the network operates without issues. Perform Ping and TraceRoute tests to confirm connectivity.

Security Testing: Conduct security tests to protect the network from attacks and breaches. Configure ACL and Port Security.

Network Performance Testing: Measure network performance to ensure it can handle the expected traffic without any performance issues.
