1. Mini Project
1.1 Introduction
In this project we used three layers which are used to access the devices from ISP/internet service
provider network these are:-
core layer
distribution layer
access layer
VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are logically switched LAN formed by
segmenting physical Local Area Networks (LANs).
Trunk: is used to carry traffic that belongs to multiple VLANs between devices over the same
link. and is often configured between access and distribution layer networking devices.
Core Layer: also called network backbone and it is responsible for transporting large amounts of
data quickly and reliably. At this layer Routers and switches are used provide high-speed
connectivity.
Distribution Layer: this layer is associated with routing, filtering, and is the communication
point between the core layer and the access layer. It represents a routing boundary between the
two layers. It is built using Layer 3 devices like Routers or multilayer switches.
Access Layer: is used to control user access to the internetwork resources. The access layer uses
Layer 2 switching technology to provide access into the network. The access can be either
through a permanent wired infrastructure or through wireless access points. Access layer switches
facilitate the connection of end node devices to the network.

Procedures Used to Complete the Task
Generally, I used six procedures to create the overall topology of the university
by using packet tracer simulation tool. The steps are listed below:
1: Designing the Core-Layer level of the topology using router
2: Designing the Distribution layer level of the topology using Multilayer switches.
3: Designing the Access layer level of the topology using layer-2 switches.
4: Adding Access points and handheld devices to the topology.
5: The final step is to connect each device using appropriate transmission medium.
After all these steps the configuration can be done using cisco packet tracer
software.
