Tiivistelmä
The study was inspired by two situations which hindered lab classes. The first situation was due to the lack of network connection in a classroom. The second situation was due to the lack of bandwidth.
The aim of the study was to improve the network without investing into new equipment. One way to do so was by means of Link-Aggregation Control Protocol. Improving the network lowered the possibility of similar incidents taking place again in the future. This was achieved due to added redundancy and increased bandwidth.
The study researched the link aggregation and its alternatives. The link aggregation was chosen due to being cheapest and the most environmentally friendly of the options. The network was tested, after which, the link aggregation was implemented, and the network was tested again. Test results were recorded and compared.
The study showed that the link aggregation was an effective way of adding redundancy and increasing the bandwidth without any costs resulting in minimal environmental impact.
