Hospital_Network_Design_Mesh_Topology

Implemented Mesh topology for Hospital Network Design using Cisco packet tracer which involves VLAN,DHCP, DNS, Subnetting, HTTP,SMTP, WIFI and more.

Abstract

This report describes the network design of Hospital Network. In this network topology the nodes (i.e., computers, switches, routers or other devices) are connected to a virtual local area network (VLAN). We have used Cisco Packet Tracer for designing the network mesh topology.

Hospital segments:

OPD with 3 floors

Ward Hub with 3 floors

ICU with 3 floors

Admin with 3 floors

IT Hub with 3 floors

Features and Services:

• DHCP

• DNS

• Subnetting

• HTTPS

• AAA

• SMTP

• VLAN

• WIFI

• DCE Cables

• OSPF Routing Protocol

Proposed methodology:

• 5 routers are connected to each other by Mesh topology.

• Each floor has one switch.

• Each floor has Wi-fi networks connected to laptops and phones.

• Each floor is in different VLAN.

• Using OSPF as routing protocol to advertise routers.

• All the devices in network communicate with each other.

• Configuring HTTP, SMTP and AAA services.

• All devices obtain IP dynamically with their router configured as DHCP server.

• All routers connected to each other using serial DCE cable.
