 I. INTRODUCTION
1. Part 1: What is networking?

- Networking is used to help people connect with each other through mobile devices such as computers, smart
phones with internet. for the purpose of sharing data networking was use all around the world. Networks are
built with a mix of computer hardware and computer software. A network, is a collection of computers and other
hardware components interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources and
information.
- There are many types of networks available in the networking industry and the most popular network is a Local
Area Network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN). LAN is made up of two or more computers connected
together within a short distance often at home, office building or school. WAN is a network covering a larger area
than a LAN, and often include city, country and world. A large number of LANs can be connected together to form
a WAN

2. Part 2: Introduction

- Network Engineer by Nguyen Networking Limited, a high-tech networking solution development company, which
have branches in Ho Chi Min City, Hanoi, Da Nang and Can Tho.
- The company has been contracted to implement a networking project from a local educational institute. The
specification of the project is given below:
- People: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing and administration staff, 5 higher managers including the head
of academics and the programmer manager, 3 computer network administrators.
- Resources: 50 student lab computers, 35 staff computers, 3 printers
- Building: 3 floors, all computers and printers are on the ground floor apart from the IT labs – one lab located on
the first floor and another located on the second floor.
- Investigate and explain networking principles, protocols and devices and submit a report.

II. Networktypes,Protocolsandstandards

1. Types ofnetwork:
 a. Lan:
- LAN stands for Local Area Network English words are translated as internal computer network. Lan network
allows devices connected together to work together and share data as document, picture, …
- This connection is made via cable or wireless LAN (wireless) in the narrow space, therefore it is used only in a
limited scope, such as the office, in the home, school ...

c. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

- MAN networks have the same connection as LAN models. It is connected LANs together through transmission
media, cables .... Communication devices connected together in a certain area as in a city ...
- MAN network provides the ability to simultaneously use three types of services: VOICE -DATA -VIDEO:Data
transmission. / Videoconferencing / Watching movies on demand / Cable TV / Distance Education. / Remote
disease diagnosis / Phone / High-speed Internet access ...

2. Standards andprotocols:

a. Definition of network protocols

- Network protocols are formal standards and policies comprised of rules, procedures and formats that
define communication between two or more devices over a network. Network protocols govern the
end-to-end processes of timely, secure and managed data or network communication.

b. Protocols:

- TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol):

. TCP/IP is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the

internet.

. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (an intranet
or an extranet).
 Figure 4 TCP/IP Layers

- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol):

. HTTP is one of the five standard protocols of the Internet, used to communicate information
between the Service Provider (Web server) and the Service-using machine (Web client) in the Client /
Server model used for the World Wide Web- WWW, HTTP is an application layer protocol, located on
the transport and network layer protocol layer, TCP / IP

Figure 5 HTTP Protocol

Example: https://www.tektutorialshub.com/http/http-get-and-post-methods/

- DNS (Domain Name Server):

. The Domain Name Systems (DNS) is a system that allows to set the corresponding IP address and
domain name on the Internet.
 Figure 6 DNS

Example: https://dyn.com/blog/dns-why-its-important-how-it-works/

- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol):

. ICMP a protocol of the Internet Protocol package. This protocol is used by network devices such as routers to
send error messages indicating whether a service exists or not, or whether a host or router address exists. ICMP can also
be used to forward query messages

Figure 7 ICMP

Example: https://blog.securityevaluators.com/icmp-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-130413e56030
c. Network standards:
- Networking standards ensure the interoperability of networking technologies by defining the rules of
communication among networked devices. Networking standards exist to help ensure products of different
vendors are able to work together in a network without risk of incompatibility.
 Figure 8 TCP/IP

Example: In this architecture, Protocol which is used for Transport layer is TCP or UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

III. Network Topology & Communication and band with:

- Network topology always affects the entire network. Because it will involve some ingredient.

1. Physical and Logical topology

Definition:

Figure 9 Physical and logical topology

Example:

- Logical topology:

+ A logical topology is how devices appear connected to the user

- Physical topology

+ A physical topology is how they are actually interconnected with wires and cables.
 2. Others topology:

Figure 10 Others topology

Example: https://www.cbronline.com/what-is/what-is-topology-4958790/

3. Communication and bandwidth requirements:

 Communication requirements:

- There are sender and recipient address.

- Encrypt data before sending to the transmitter.

- Determine the protocol to transfer data between them.

- Speed and respond time between two devices.

 Bandwidth equipments:

- Bandwidth shows that average data can be sent in a specific time.

- It is very effective in transfering data in the form of video, images and audio. So band width must big
enough to transmit.
 IV. NetworkingDeviceandServerTypes

1. Networking Device :

 Server:

- Server is a system (appropriate software and computer hardware) that meets the requirements on a
computer network to provide or support the provision of a network service. Servers can run on a
dedicated computer, which is also often referred to as a "server", or multiple networked computers
capable of hosting servers. In many cases, a computer can provide a wide variety of services and services.

 Hubs:

- This device is a repeater, with multiple ports. Usually, a center has more than four gate. When the
networksystem uses the star topology,thehub will act as a hubdeviceto connect to otherdevices.

Figure 11 Hub

 Routers:

- This device acts as a map network device. Router connects devices together other by sending data packets
between them. Moreover, it can allow end devices to connect to the Internet.
 Figure 12 A router made by Cisco

2. Server types:

 Web server:

- Server often include web services and applications. All files in the web server run *.HTML or *.HTM

Figure 13 Web server

 Database server

- Database server is a data warehouse used to store websites, data and information. A database server is a LAN
computer dedicated to storing, maintaining, and restoring databases. Database server includes database management
system Database Management System (DBMS) and database. Based on requests from clients, the Database server will
search the database for the specified logs and transfer them back to the network.
 Figure 14 Database server

 Virtualization server

- This type of server is made up of separate physical server hardware into multiple servers, also has the main
function of a server.

Figure 15 Virtualization Server

V. Inter-dependence of workstation hardware with relevant networking software.

1. Workstation hardware:

 CPU (Central Processing Unit):

- Central Processing Unit. It is the most essential of a computer

Figure 16 CPU i7

 RAM (Random Access Memory):

- Random Access Memory. It will access any information in the memory chipset to support running to handle and
works faster.

Figure 17 RAM

 Hard disk:

- . Hard disk is a device used to store data on the surface of circular plates covered with magnetic
materials. Can store data for users to access whenever they want.
 Figure 18 Hard disk

2. Networking Software:
- Networking software is a fundamental element for any network. It helps administrators deploy, manage and
monitor a network.
 3. Relationship between workstation hardware andnetworking software:
- Workstations or computers often use ports to connect network cables. Usually, normal these port are

Figure 19 Network Interface Card

provided by the network card built into the computer or using a NIC (Network interface card)

- These network cards help send and receive data packets to computer. Data Packeges must convert into
electrical signals through network cables and return. This makes computers able to communicate and transfer
data to each other.

VI. Design a networked system to meet a given specification:

1. User Requirements:

People: 200 students, 15 teachers, 12 marketing and administration staff, 5 higher managers
including the head of academics and the programe manager, 3 computer network administrators.

VII. Test plan and Evaluate:

1. Test plan:
 2. Evaluate the design

Strength: the design has fully met the requirements of Mr Nguyen. although still formally and physically
sketchy, everything is connected to each other to function perfectly, without errors when operating.
Strong very well

Weakness: the weakness of the program is in terms of design. sketchy and incomplete perfection of
aesthetics.

VII. Implement:

1. Set the extra ports for route:

Pick 3 PC, each computer = 50 student computers, 1 switch, 1 router, 1 server. Set IP address and subnet
mask for the router and all computers, there, all computer and router must have the same Gateway and
subnet mask.
2. Set IP for router:
 3. Set IP for computers:

-Need to put a notice that what is the IP address of each devices, and pay attention to the port that
connect with other devices: FATHERNET, SERIAL.

-Using PDE to connect between two router, each side of the port need 1 different IP address and the SERIAL
PORT must be the same between two routers.

-Other LAN have the same ways.

-Overview when finished:
IX. Documentation & Test result:

1. Step-by-Step Configuration
- Now try to ping all the computer in LAN to make sure all the connections are correct.

- Successful, now my network can working.

 2. Test result against test plan
- Test plan expected result and test result are the same, so now I completed the requirement of
the user.
X. Conclusion
The network has met requirements of the post, but there are still flaws.
Will be revised in the next time.
