Abstract

The need for higher speed internet connectivity as well as the protection of student's sensitive information has created the need for advanced networking systems. A complete network system will be implemented at St. Nicolas College of Business & Technology (SNC). The initial number of users will be approximately 300 but there is room for growth. The system will utilize a star-bus hybrid topology which supports the segregation of faults and central administration. VLSM within the SNC $10.10.0.0/16$ address block will allow optimal utilization of bandwidth while creating security by segregating departments. Technical testing included integration of firewall with IDS/IPS as well as development of an automated maintenance process. The findings show that this proposed infrastructure can provide a solid scalable and reliable platform for the institutions transition into a digital campus.
