Campus Network Design And Implementation Using Top Down Approach: A Case Study Tarumanagara University

Abstract

Tarumanagara University already has a computer network infrastructure to support various activities both administrative and academic. Infrastructure that was built has been covering all areas of the building and the floor. With increasing range of services Tarumanagara University need to enhance local are network to accommodate their need. The new network infrastructure that is built must guarantee the quality of services, reliable, scalable and support future expansions.The network design is the most important and critical parts before developing a new network infrastructure.Analysis of user and network requirement has been done to design the network. For the analysis , the result design to implementing is hierarchical network design, high availability backbone,and users segmentation to all user with spreads on some building. The building block components hierarchical structure network are the core layer, the distribution layer and the access layer. Core layer is designed with redundant device using Layer 3 switch , Distribution layer at each building is design with using Layer 3 switch and Access layer is design with using layer 2 switch. Keywords: Hierarchical Network, High Availability Backbone, Top Down Approach.
