Establishment of Campus Area Network (CAN) for Bahria University Headquarters

Abstract

This project IS about LAN and WAN setup of Bahria University Head Quarter, which consists of 644 nodes. There are 8 Computer Labs, Research Lab, and Library. The requirement is to provide Computer Lab facility to students and Faculty members. Internet facility is also required for students and Faculty members of Bahria University. Wireless setup is also required within the campus to provide wireless access to faculty members so that they are able to deliver lectures through laptops. So we designed and implemented LAN setup to meet their requirements. We have planned to deploy wireless setup to provide wireless facility to faculty. Main tasks included in our project is • LAN Designing and Implementation LAN Designing and Implementation involves Survey of architectural maps, Designing, Hardware selection (Vendors Comparisons), Cabling and Installation. • Planning and Budgeting It involves Project Plan and overall Budgeting I.e. Equipment cost, Labor cost and other Miscellaneous costs. • Proposed Wireless Setup Designing and Implementation Wireless setup designing and implementation involves Requirements gathering, Designing, Equipment selection (Vendors comparison) and Implementation. • Servers Configurations and Backup Policies It involves configuration of different servers such as DNS, DHCP, FTP, Web, Mail, Proxy and RAS etc. Backup policies i.e. Incremental, differential or volume backups, and RAID Configuration. Following flow chart describes the steps to deploy phases of vendor/equipment selection: -
