Chapter one
1 Introduction
My internship hosting company is a service provider in banking. The name of the organization is called
Cooperative bank of Oromia. The customers of the organization are mainly the society of all the
Ethiopian region and also world people.

1.1 Background and History of Coop Bank of Oromia

The history of cooperative banks has been traced back to the financial exclusion faced by many
communities in the 19th century. With the industrial revolution, the emerging financial services
sector was primarily focused on wealthy individuals and large enterprises in urban areas. The
rural population, particularly farmers, small businesses, and the communities they supported,
were excluded from financial services. Thus, cooperative banks were originally set up to correct
this market failure and to overcome the associated problems of asymmetric information in
favor of borrowers.

6
In respect of Ethiopia, the country has a very low financial service coverage as mainstream
financial institutions are heavily tilted towards the urban centers with good physical
infrastructure, leaving the rural areas underserved. Traditionally, ‘Equbs’ and ‘Idirs’ are informal
institutions that are deeply ingrained in the life communities and have also been serving
financial needs of the rural society to some extent. Reluctance and low capacity of the formal
financial institutions in the country to serve rural community, a demand-supply gap prevailed in
financial market especially in rural areas, coupled with farmers’ awareness to be organized into
cooperatives and the increasing need to finance cooperatives called for establishment of a
cooperative bank. Furthermore, finance appeared to be the critical bottleneck to sustain the
cooperative institutions and ultimately the farmers. It was all these glitches that initiated the
inception and establishment of Cooperative Bank of Oromia.

Haile G/ Lube, regarded as the founding father (proponent) of Ethiopia’s cooperatives, brought
the idea of founding the bank for he believed that the best way to fight poverty is through
cooperation. Formally establishing a project office in 2002, the bank’s formation was realized
with majority of shareholders being the cooperative societies. The bank then is commercially
licensed in October 2004 and commenced operations in March 2005. As there is no legal
provisions that allow establishment of a cooperative bank in the country, the bank was
registered in accordance with article 304 of the commercial code of Ethiopia.

The Bank has broad ownership base and diversified ownership structure. It comprises
Cooperatives and Non-Cooperative members. Cooperative member includes Primary
Cooperatives, Cooperative Unions and Cooperatives Federation whereas, non-Cooperative
members includes Organizations, Associations and individuals.

Currently, the Coop bank is among the leading private banks in Ethiopia with a total asset of
more than ETB 55 Billion. The bank has more than 420 branch networks, 6.4 million
accountholders, and has created a job opportunity for about 8,000 individuals.
1.2 Objectives (Goals ) of Coop Bank of Oromia
 PROFITABILITY - Sustain the bank's profitability by:
Maintaining 10% return on investment;
Increasing capital build-up to P100M; and

Chapter Two
2 Project overview
Generally the internship program gives me the opportunity to link theory with practice, to see
the capacity how I can make a solution for real world problem , to be part of the modern world
technology development .During my internship program I have gained so much experience and
technical skill in networking and installation of some networking devices .I had a great encounter
to the working environment of my specific field of study

9
 2.1 Introduction
As I have been learning at Wachemo University collage of Engineering and technology at the
department of information technology I have had the knowledge of networking , devices that are
mostly used for installation of a network design and I took cisco packet tracer simulation course
which made me to solve any problem regarding to my field of study .So for the internship
program I was looking for a university with related field areas .So I have applied accordingly to
Coop Bank and they showed their willingness to accept me .I arrived at the Bank on scheduled
day October 1 E.C and reported the letter that has given from the university

2. 2 Statement of Problem
in the Company most of their work were done using paper, they have some digital computers
but they are not interconnected to share information with each other . Their information and Data
were exposed to both environmental and physical damage as I have mentioned in the above text
more than 70% of their work depends on manual and collected in the form of paper and
document

2.3 Aim and Objective of the project

The aim of this project is a design and simulation of Bank network using packet tracer.
This project is aimed improve and upgrade the existing digital infrastructure of the Bank in
order to provide fast and efficient service for the Bank workers, customers and government
officials by replacing and adding some equipment Typically, a LAN encompasses computers
and peripherals connected to a smaller physical areas.
Network design and installation is concerned on how I can interconnect the computers in
Bank enable the communication between the device and how to share the
resource between them.

2.3.1 General objective

The design is based on the hierarchical architecture with a model secondary as a case
study. The objectives of the study are follow:-

 To design and implement upgraded, scalable and valuable LAN network

services and high speed Internet connection for the Bank.
 Design and simulation of a Bank network, with a model as a case study using
packet tracer.
 Configuration of network devices and evaluation of point-to-point connection.
 Digitalizing the manual work of the Bank.
 Effective network depending on available resource and have best network in
term of coast, Speed and security and scalability.
2.3.2 Specific objectives
Specific objectives of this project is:

 To Design the scalable LAN network For the increasing number of user
 To Improve and consolidate network performance of the bank
 To Provide increased network capacity, by up grading the existing network devices.
 To Improve the network's fault tolerance, Scalability, performance, security, and high
speed connection.
 To design a LAN network in terms of topology, type of cabling and related coast.
 To design fastest network depending on the increasing number of user and devices.

2.4 Methodology and Tools

 Methodology
For the achievement of my internship I used different approach as the hardness of the project.
Accordingly, the following procedure was used to overcome our difficulty and lastly, I
achieved my project in a good and best manner. Some methods are as listed as follow.
 Conceptualizing the ideas.
 Free hand sketch of the design
 Designing the Network Architecture.
 Configuration of Device in accordance to topology. 
 Drawing the design on Visio software
 Tools and materials used
The materials that are used for the installation are:-

 RJ 45
 Wire Cutter
 Easy RJ45 crimp tool Crimper
 Meter
 Ladder

11
  Network Installation Tool Kit
 Floor Cable Trunk
 PVC conduit
 Punch Down Tool
 UTP Cable Tester
 Coach Screw And Plugs
 Cable stripper tool
 Wall outlet

 Twisted-pair Cable Categories

Cable categories are key to the structured wiring concept. The cabling specifications for the
various categories are in the TIA/EIA-568-A (and B) Commercial building Telecommunications
Cabling Standard. The following categories are defined: Category 3: These are used only for
telephone and Ethernet 10BASE-T, so are not useful for Livewire installations. Category 5: This
designation applies to 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair cables and associated connecting
hardware whose transmission characteristics are specified up to 100MHz. Cat 5 cables are
today’s most common because they support Ethernet 100BASE-TX. Category 5e: This is
enhanced Category 5 cable. The main application is for gigabit 1000BASE-T. While Cat 5 is
acceptable for 1000BASE-T, 5e is officially preferred. Category 6: While not strictly necessary
except for 1000BASE-T links, we recommend CAT-6 for all new Livewire installations. CAT-6
provides significantly higher performance that that of

CAT-5e. The main difference is that this cable has a plastic pair separator inside that holds the
wires in correct relation to each other. This is what makes CAT-6 larger in diameter than CAT-5
cables. The most significant difference between cables from each category is the number of
twists per foot and the tightness with which the twists and the spacing of the pairs to each
other are controlled. The wire pairs in a voice-grade Category 3 cable usually have two twists
per foot, and you may not even notice the twists unless you peel back quite a lot of t he outer
insulation. Category 5 is tightly twisted, something like 20 per foot. This results in superior crosstalk

2.5 Scope and Limitation

 Scope
Generally, an internship consist of an exchange of service for experience between the student
and an organization internship program is a good opportunity to show my learning skills that I
get from my school. Student can also use an internship to determine of they have an interest in
particular career. It helps to build curriculum vitae(CV) for the student.

 Limitation
 Shortage of instruments and IT technician in the company
 Shortage of time
 Lack of money
 The company does not have enough work place means maintenance room
 The company has no internet access
 The company has no transport access to travel from the office

18
2.8.2. Use case model
A use case is a methodology used in system analysis to identify, Clarify and organize system
requirements. The use case is made up of a set of possible sequences of interactions between
systems and users in a particular environment and related to a particular goal.

2.8.3. Use case description

A use case is a written description of how users will perform tasks on your website.
It outlines, From a user’s point of view, A systems behavior as it responds to a request.
Each a use case is represented as a sequence of simple steps, beginning with a user’s goal and
ending when that goal is fulfilled.

2.9 Object model

The network model is a database model conceived as a flexible way of representing objects and
their relationships. Its distinguishing feature is that the schema, viewed as a graph in which
object types are nodes and relationship types are arcs, is not restricted to being a hierarchy or
lattice.

Figure 13 object model

2.9.1. Data dictionary

A data dictionary is a collection of descriptions of the data objects or items in a data model for
the benefit of programmers and others who need to refer to them. Often a data dictionary is a
centralized metadata repository.

2.10. Dynamic model

The general idea of a dynamic network model is that higher-order properties are emergent
phenomena, that is, patterns of order and structure that emerge on the basis of the dynamic
interactions between lower-level components

20
2.10.1. Sequence diagram-from business process perspective. How the business model is executed ?

A sequence diagram or system sequence diagram (SSD) shows process interactions

arranged in time sequence in the field of software engineering. It depicts the processes
involved and the sequence of messages exchanged between the processes needed to carry out
the functionality. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case realizations in the
4+1 architectural view model of the system under development. Sequence diagrams are
sometimes called event diagrams or event scenarios.

2.10.2. Active diagram
An Activity Network Diagram is a diagram of project activities that shows the sequential
relationships of activities using arrows and nodes. An activity network diagram tool is used
extensively in and is necessary for the identification of a project’s critical path (which is used to
determine the expected completion time of the project).

Example: Suppose the team is tasked with improving the process of building a house. The team
lists the major steps involved – everything from the excavation step through the landscaping
step.

3. Overall Internship Benefits

During the internship in Coop bank I have gained a lot of benefits from the internship experience
throughout the one month. This internship program was an important period for me to develop
confidence. I have presented my final project for the stuff and was remarked and given
comments. I also asked different people in their area of specialization. This in turn, enabled me
to communicate with different employees in the company. Moreover, the internship had opened
the opportunity to communicate with different positional hierarchy in the company such trends
help me to have valuable work experience
The overall benefits that I have gained are grouped into different categories such as:
 Improving practical skill
 Upgrading theoretical skill
 Improving interpersonal communication skill
 Improving team playing skill
 Improving leadership skill
 Understanding about work ethics related issues
 Entrepreneurship skill
3.1 Practical and Theoretical Skills
 Practical Skill
Theory is the basement of any activity for information technology. However it is not enough by
itself to know the real situation.it needs practical skill to carry out every activity within a
project .in my internship program I have developed my practical skill in many ways. Some of
them are as follows :-
 Installing a cable trunk by figuring out the shortest and efficient path way to the switch
 I have made my own wall outlet and connected it with copper patch panel using the
copper patch panel punch down tool.
 I have connected a copper patch panel with the switch
 I have seen and connected a fiber cable using a fiber cable connector
After all when I join the real world, I will not be new for real world problems and the internship
program was a great opportunity in improving practical skill

 Theoretical Knowledge

23
When I start working my project I started to referred different websites to upgrading my
theoretical knowledge’s .I developed good theoretical skill about networking specially about
cisco packet tracer during the internship period
In short : -
 I have upgraded my theoretical knowledge by reading courses that I have
learned from different websites to complete my project
In addition to academic theoretical knowledge, I have gained different theories in relation to
different business related environment

3.2 In terms of interpersonal communication skill

The internship has aims of improving interpersonal communication skill, since in the company
there are different employees and labor workers, who interact properly with others, so that to
give the desire end product for the customers, smooth interpersonal inter-personal
communication skills must be exist. During the internship time the first thing would be
communicate with employees and bank managers. What I see during internship was the way of
communication to be honest and respectful to get the desired response, my communication skill
should be persuade other’s attitude.
After I know the advantages of interpersonal communication, I have begun communicating with
each person who works in the bank. After a certain days I developed my communication with
each person also a good interpersonal communication skills are pre requested for many positions
in an organization Therefore, the internship improves the interpersonal communication skill

3.3 In terms of improving team playing skill

I have understood that working as a team is very important to have different ideas and
alternatives to achieve better solution. I have learned how different idea comes in one direction
and difference is the best way to do better things. A person with good team playing skill will
upgrade the following

 To help and co-operate with others

 To share ideas with workers openly

 To give comment to the team and find possible solutions to the problem

3.4 In terms of leadership skill

A leadership skill is a critical management skill, which is the ability to motivate the group of
people towards a common goal. During the internship period I developed a leadership skill by
observing the managers, team leader and each section workers of the company when they do
their major task.
To develop good leadership ability the following points are necessary :
 Motivate bank workers to do their task

24
  Solve problems which are raised by the customer
3.5 Understanding work ethics related
Issues
Ethics at work is very important. During my stay at Coop Bank in Hadero, I have observed how
the team treats customers ethically and how much it is important. Punctuality, honesty, being
responsible for actions that I perform and other related issues needed at work place are some of
the ethical issues that I adopt. Some of the work ethics as follow : -
 Punctuality
 The office discipline
 Loyalty
 Honesty
 Cooperation
 Accountability
 Responsibility

Chapter Four
4 Conclusion and Recommendations
4.1 Conclusion
Frankly speaking, I can say that this internship was successful by acquiring sufficient knowledge
and practical skills. Here during this period (as an intern) the hosting company satisfied with the
activities of my performance spatially theoretical understanding in every moment.
On the internship period, i have understood so many skills that was the job environment and
what it meant to be a worker, what and why ethics I need to have at the work place and
outside. Again, i understood how the service is delivered from Coop bank of Oromia what is the
process, cares to be taken, objective, mission, vision and practical skills i have acquired in three
consecutive years of study. It was also very effective in developing team playing, interpersonal
and leadership skills.

Generally, I get satisfactory knowledge and more benefited at internship period.

4.2 Recommendation
 As we all know in today’s world as well as for future banking system is going
more and more advanced through time to time. In this situation everything will

25
 be automated in such a way that something difficult will become very easy.
Other Banks can also use this kind of system to automate their employee
registration system which was manual before. As a recommendation it is
possible to modify the developed system by making some modification. Among
these:-
 It is possible to provide this system using different software installation.
 It is possible to maintain by ways of identifying the owner of customer-like using
online money transfer without handling by cash, installation software to
hardware……
