The foremost purpose for carrying out this project was to have an understandable conception of what a campus network is and the development it has followed through time due to the various demands from enterprises. The goal was to analyze the different components that compose an enterprise campus network along with a range of practicable routing protocols and Layer 2 switching technologies.
The practical part of the project was carried out taking into consideration the requirements of a typical enterprise campus network today due to the services it provides and the demands from its clients. By this, both the clients and the enterprise providing the services need the campus network to perform to its full capacity with a guaranteed security, Quality of Service, and high availability.
It was found that using a routing protocol end-to-end was a more efficient way of deploying a highly available enterprise campus network compared to Layer 2 access design. A fully routed enterprise campus network not only triumphs all the bottleneck of Layer 2 designs but as well achieves the needs and demands of clients today without them noticing the downtime.
It is fundamental to construct the campus network in a structured manner and considering of the future developments without affecting the current structural design. The designed campus network should be able to easily scale, be manageable, redundant, and with Quality of Service to achieve all the intensifying demands of today’s users
