 This form of network module can be highly recommended to consumers because there are no
risks of failure

Any problems may easily be found because of how reliable this network is. Furthermore,
authors can easily correct errors in this type of network. The router's security password was
also added by the author, restricting who can access the internal network to approved users
who have a security password and username. The constancy of data transfer is another
important aspect of this network, the author has connected all switches using trunk ports. The
author also made use of VTY lines in networks. In a normal VLAN network, we can only
transfer data within the same VLAN. On the other hand, inter-VLAN routing enables us to
send and receive data between other networks. One benefit of conventional inter-VLAN
routing is its ease of configuration.

The author has employed the VTP configuration of the network. To distribute every VLAN
and domain name to clients, we can set up a server switch and employ trunk ports. Therefore,
we do not need to give each switch a unique feature. It saves time and keeps us from giving
false information to every switch. We do this by using the same domain name (VTP domain)
across all switches. Additionally, the author created a wireless connection for some
departments. ACCESS POINT, enabling us to connect devices without wires and manage
devices with simplicity.

Test cases

Future Enhancements for the described Network

 Backup

We're talking about reinforcement right now. Reinforcement is another vital part of our
organization, and there is no reinforcement for the framework at the moment. They might

27 | P a g e
lose every piece of data. We wanted to select a response to this. The best answer to this is a
cloud worker. If a cloud backup is possible, worker, it will always exist, and one worker's
failure will not have an impact on the entire framework since in the cloud,

 Create a unique guest network.

For guests to connect to the internet while keeping corporate separate, the company can build
up a separate network.

 System for digital switching

To exchange messages, terminal devices are connected via a switching network.

Depending on the viewpoint, there are various ways that the switching network is set up:

1. Requirements for regulations

2. The volume of traffic

And creating a link via control signals is the act of switching.

 Software and firmware updates

The software that runs on them and the improvements in technology do not always keep up
with one another. It is unlikely that new programs running on outdated hardware will
function properly when combined with more recent software.

 Information compression

Data compression lowers the number of bits needed to represent data. You may reduce
storage and network traffic costs, speed up file transfers, and save space by using data
compression.

 Take advantage of virtual local area networks (VLANs)

By dividing an existing physical network into many logical networks, a VLAN creates its
broadcasting domain. VPN must be included into the network architecture because it protects
online data as we browse the web using sophisticated encryption methods. The network's
capacity can be boosted by using a VPN.

Critical Evaluation

The organization firm is the owner of this network infrastructure. Because the current

28 | P a g e
network system is unreliable and insecure, they engaged a network engineering firm to
maintain and modify the network. As the newly hired network engineer, he had plans to
revamp the network system and make many improvements to increase its speed and security.
As needed in the scenario, a high-speed internet connection and wireless network were
necessary. The facility had a number of distinct departments. It has been implemented in the
system and is anticipated to increase the data traffic by 85%. It uses VLANs to link to other
buildings and implements quality of service. Every gadget is password-protected to ensure
security and prevent illegal access. No matter if they are wireless or wired, networks are an
essential component of technology. The company's requirements must be followed, such as
controlling employee traffic and dividing the network into departments, in order to maintain
an efficient network. The network architecture is the next issue to think about because it has a
big impact on the system and is important to take into account. Next, each and every module
must be meticulously evaluated for an error-free network that enables the devices to operate
properly in order for the network to operate in line with Call Management (Pvt) Ltd's criteria.
Prior to implementation, the network must first be evaluated. In order to test the network, it is
important to review each module and look for any issues that might lead to issues.
