    ROUTING AND SWITCHING TECHNOLOGIES (ITT532)

    CASE STUDY
    OPTIMIZING MEDITECH'S CORPORATE NETWORK

    GROUP PROJECT (20%)


    OBE: P3

    Course Outcome: Solve issues in switching concepts and technologies.

    The Objectives

    By the end of this project, you should be able to


    • Understand the concept of switching technologies in networking
    • Understand the implementation switching concept in Enterprise network
    • Apply the knowledge and skills in designing more efficient and effective
    computer network

    Background

    Nowadays, it is important for company to have efficient and reliable enterprise network
    for their daily operation.

    Scenario

    MediTech, a rapidly growing healthcare technology company, has recently expanded


    its operations. However, their network infrastructure hasn't kept pace with their growth,
    leading to performance issues, security concerns, scalability problems, and lack of
    redundancy. As a network consultant, you've been called in to analyse their current
    setup and propose improvements.

    Current Topology
    Details:
    1. All devices are on a single VLAN (VLAN 1).
    2. Inter-VLAN routing is not implemented.
    3. No link aggregation is in place between switches.
    4. DHCP is configured on Router0 for the entire network.
    5. IPv6 is not implemented.
    6. All switches are layer 2 switches.
    7. No security measures are in place.
    8. No redundancy or high-availability features are implemented.

    Your Task
    As a network consultant, you need to analyse this topology and suggest improvements
    in the following areas:
    1. Switching concepts
    o Implement VLANs to segregate traffic
    o Optimize switch port usage
    2. VLAN and Inter-VLAN routing
    o Design an efficient VLAN structure. Consider Servers to be in a specific
    VLAN.
    o Implement inter-VLAN routing
    3. EtherChannel
    o Identify where link aggregation can improve performance and
    redundancy
    4. DHCPv4 and DHCPv6
    o Optimize DHCP configuration for both IPv4 and IPv6
    o Implement DHCP snooping for security (*only if the switch security has
    been covered)
    5. Reliability and Redundancy
    o Implement redundant links and devices to eliminate single points of
    failure
    o Consider technologies like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or its variants
    Additionally, consider overall network security, scalability, and performance in your
    proposed solutions. Addressing plan will be considered as a value add to your report.

    Deliverables
    1. A revised network topology diagram, together with IP address design.
    2. Explanation of proposed changes and their benefits.
    3. Basic configuration snippets for key devices.
    4. Justification for how your changes improve security, scalability, performance,
    and reliability/redundancy.
